This is essentially the crux of it. The club wants him gone but also wants a clean divorce. They'd have offered him a settlement, one which he'd have scoffed at. The difference in $ between what the club offered as a severence package, and what he'd earn if he sees out his contract could potentially be as much as half a million dollars. In my opinion Hinkley is now challenging the club to sack him, so he can get all his money. He has a contract.
Always been greedy and selfish.

Even back in his playing days.
 
I said previously - if he’s getting the as*, it will be after trade period, so we don’t have to deal with players wanting out before hand.

To me the most telling part of the interview yesterday was Ken bringing up the fact that Fagan and Brisbane stayed the course and after 6 finals series they finally won one, suggesting with all the young talent we currently have if we persist long enough a premiership isn’t far away. So I think we’re dealing with a board majority currently thinking along similar lines.
The other thing is they seem scared to make the ultimate call.
It really seems like there’s quite a few people on that board that shouldn’t be anywhere near running what we want in a ruthless and successful football club.
 
I'm just going to leave this here so I don't have to keep repeating myself for the next little while:

If the Club confirms Hinkley's position for 2025, they're not going to put out a statement doing so. But there would still be a decision that would be ratified by Club executives, directors etc. And if that occurs, I will well and truly know about it and post an update as such in here.

Otherwise, as it stands (and for the next little while), there is no update to be had. I was well and truly wrong on my presumption of the B&F deadline based on what I've been told in the last day or two.

Enjoy the trade and free agency period.

This is what I think currently:

We are being played, while trying to play. We want to sack him, but we don’t have the votes. We need time.

The Koch-Hinkley-Davies camp doesn’t want to sack Hinkley. They are betting that the delay helps a “non-decision” which favours the status quo.

Hence, neither camp is in a hurry.
 
Membership survey complete - remember to write the whole phrase "Sack Ken Hinkley" as often as possible. I would not respond with anything about Hinkley in the "what words do you associate with Port Adelaide?" section though - instead use words like disappointment, weak and losers. We don't want his name associated with the football club.
 
My fear he stays
Hart's get promoted to after a successful season coaching the SANFL

Hartlett to get promoted to more midfield coach time.

And the fans job in 2025 will be to make him cry at every home game.
