​

Port's Hinkley says past is irrelevant to fresh finals.​

But Hinkley also isn't remotely interested in how the next month will define him and his club.

In his 12th season as Port coach, he holds the VFL/AFL record for most games coached without reaching a grand final.

"I don't write those stories," he said.

But Hinkley was adamant Port were better prepared for these finals than last year when, beset by injuries, they crashed out with losses in a qualifying final and a semi-final.

"We're in a really healthy position," he said.


"We're a mature team. We have earnt our right to be second on the ladder ... we're ready for this type of game.

Better prepared = Under prepared.

We're a mature team = Koch : We are a young team, younger than the Hawks.

We"re ready for this type of game. = Our coach and his babies were never ready to take on a real coach in Scott and his men.

Well Done Ken, you ****ing loser.

I wonder what Hinkley is like at picking lotto numbers.

No premierships to show for it.

I always thought the premiership team were given a substantial pay out.

I can't confirm either way, maybe someone else can.

SACK HINKLEY

Yes I agree sacking him is the only way forward

So trade period ends Wednesday, does that mean we can now sack Hinkley on Thursday

This is something that is annoying me and I have posted about this prior. Apart from media speculation and a few people with some inside knowledge, the club has not officially said that Carr is at our club to take over from Ken, (succession plan).

Why do people keep speculating that this is a given.

If I were to offer a job to person 3 years out from the actual position being available, that would be negligent. The person may have been a good choice at the time but when 3 years have passed surely you would look for for the best person available at the time.

Remember we have had some shit games while Josh has been the mid field coach at Port, especially when our midfield goes missing in big games. JHF was the stand out, that is because he is pure talent and self pride in his personal performance.

Not saying that Carr is not up to it as we don't know exactly how much Josh can change with Stinkers still here, just pointing out the facts as they played out this year.

We will never know until Hinkley is finally gone one day.

Doesn't Kenny hand out jumpers on draft day? Sack him after that, string it out.

The club and the Hinkley camp certainly spread that rumour and specifically don't deny it, just as they did with Schofield before Carr, because it serves to partially placate the Hinkley haters.

Hinkley has made it clear he isn't letting go of power, so any succession plan will be forced upon him and hill try to weasel his way out of it at every turn.

I agree he spreads these rumours because he knows these guys don't have the backbone to put it on the record. And because its not on the record therefore in the eyes of others it doesn't exist.

And yes its all about Hinkley retaining all the power and getting another couple million dollars for no return.

 

[RossFC]

Just pay his contract out. This club is a massive waste of everyone's time.

Re Carr ... I don't support succession plans either, but you never know completely how good an assistant is until they take control as the senior coach and shape the team their way.

Carr should already be in charge, but until Hinkley finally swallows his pride and steps down, we're merely speculating about what sort of coach Josh will be.

I always thought the premiership team were given a substantial pay out.

That money is really only the minor part of it. Premiership players are more likely to end up coaches, they are more attractive to sponsors (both during and after they are playing), they are more likely to get media gigs.

If players don't want a flag, for actually wanting the supposed ultimate prize, every kid picking up a football dreams about, then they should be aiming for it for the financial benefits, both short and long term. Of course, I doubt anyone at the club lays it out to them in those terms, as they may start thinking Daddy Ken is costing them money, whilst raking in his own.

Thursday would be fine. It would be the Best birthday present ever.

I wanted it to be my birthday and that was a month ago and we'd all be saying Kenny who. And then joyously laugh and all would be right with the universe again.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

 

[fergulator72]

Chewy has made it pretty clear that he will inform us if and when Hinkley's position is safe. Until then don't assume anything.

Clubs already said he's coaching,so it's safe

Nice to be back on the Sack Hinkley thread - a part of me died when I thought Ratkins was going to be a Port player.

I can't understand how the club doesn't see that next year is just going to be wasted. Surely they can't seriously be considering extending him despite almost sacking him 3 times.
