That’s all true. Bit of a moot point though.

Kane will back him forever.

Once again blaming the quality of the 18th to 23rd player, one day perhaps they'll go through every flag side of the modern era & realise getting the best out of the lesser lights, depth & role players is part of being a great coach.

 

[PAFC66]

Well , look .. sounds like he's gone

 

[dirty2]

Nothing is better then a good sacking to start the week.

 

[Chewy316]

50/50
A coin toss.

Ever get the feeling you’re being played?

Not at all.

I don't want to hear Koch say "Port Adelaide honours its contracts".

Hinkley is a very ordinary inanimate object. The Five-Minute Fireman has zero credibility and is totally conflicted. That Buckley defends Hinkley tells us something about his own coaching abilities.

 

[dirty2]

So sick of the media... And I don't even watch any of the shit.

Bucks would know

Club need to gag Koch incase he says something stupid again in the next few days.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Lol 12 years of evidence and Leigh doesn't believe Ken is unable to take Port to winning a premiership.

How many years experience does Leigh have again?

Meanwhile I know people watching the sport for the first time that watched both prelims and could easily tell Porta weren't within 5 goals of any of the other 3 sides that played.

Never once did they mention the players just ball movement going into our forward line.

To be fair they follow Serie A so they understand the concept of making runs to create space for others. Not running into others space etc.

I think Leigh hates us for 04 so he'll publicly claim to back Ken Hinkley, but does it so out of spite to make us worse.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Tom Morris talking about "the mental toll" that the "media pressure" has generated this year.

What pressure?

He is treated with kid gloves by pretty much every commentator out there.

On the plus side Morris went on to speculate about maybe Ken will choose to step away, and Kane asking if the club will intervene to get Ken to step away. So maybe a narrative change.

That is arguably the most complex part to this equation. Absolutely ridiculous, he just can't be trusted to keep his mouth shut.

Get the feeling you hold the hopes of and dreams of many of us squarely in your hands? I even made a good tasting coffee this morning which is rare

 

[MitchIn3D]

There is obviously movement at the station.

The media narrative is starting to shift.

We are well and truely in the end game now.

Sack Hinkley.

I could go with the second part a bit. The trouble is he’s had that long that our powerbrokers are continually making up their minds that a dynasty is just around the corner and therefore his greatness.
(and theirs)

 

[Portology]

Sackings on our Mad Monday, drunk Port players at the Brownlow or very hungover “exit” interviews on Tuesday?

Who knows what the next 36 hours will bring.

There's a simple solution to that problem.....**** him off.

Not sure the AFL want much happening GF week. Hopefully it’s all sorted this week then ‘bang’ in Monday or Tuesday, cuddles all around at the presser.

I literally don't have a say in the matter. I'm just the messenger.

 

[theouthouse]

Would 100% have to be a sacking, immdiate departure. Can't have any transition period where Ken is around next year. Clean break is a healthy break.

I would assume exit interviews will also play a bit of a part in where the playing group feel they are at. Couple of players chirping up thinking they have underachieved or feel they aren't reaching their potential both as individuals and as a squad would be great.

The Port boys were in good spirits yesterday at the Royal. I thought Ken might have been invited to the catch up because they love him so much and despite being a Coach and not a player they couldn't have a bonding session without him, but not to be.

Hopefully all this shit they're saying is just company line rubbish and they couldn't give a **** that he's going

Thrashed in 2 of 3 finals, out in straight sets last year etc etc & they're in good spirits. This is the biggest problem with our club. There is no hunger from our players to win a flag. And I put a lot of blame for that on Average Ken.
