Jonas, Dixon, Wines, Motlop, DBJ, Clurey, Boak, Gray, McKenzie, Bonner.

That’s my guess of the 10. If we are being real with ourselves you’d be pushing 4 of those names to make our next flag side so they can all go and get stuffed

I pretty much came up with the same list.

Kane Cornes on Channel 9 News.

" I've been told there might be up to ten players that might be upset if Ken isnt coaching next year "
Thats obviously come from Chad you twat, and if that is true Ken can take the 9 duds with him, and Chad as the tenth and FCK off out of our club.

We........Port Adelaide, are being Glenelged. We are being Glenelged. Right in front of us. Right in front of our eyes.

My treasured season tickets, now really are in jeapordy. I am outraged with the Cornes dictating over the media who should fckg ing coach my beloved Port Adelaide.
You make a very good point re Port `being Glenelged', we have been the AFL version of the gay bays for at least 5 years now, and that will unfortunately continue until both the kokmeister and kern are goneski.

Lycett is part of the dishlicker mob too, so he's probably one.

Honestly most of those are near the end. They're not the future.

If those guys are happy to finish without a flag that's fine but they shouldn't **** it up for the next crop

The amount of times Ive heard Ollie talk about Voss makes me think he might not belong on this list.

The only question I have is who those 10 are and exactly how does Norf value them so we know which ones to parcel up for JHF
 
I'm not standing up for Ken here because he is s**t and want him gone, but had we had the helping hand from Umpires and AFL that Western Bulldogs received in their flag year, we arguably would have won both 2014 and 2020. Beveridge is as average as Ken but was gifted a premiership. It's easy to forget over time how blatant that was I guess, not sure Dan Hannebery would agree though.
That Bulldogs premiership….. shakes head….. still don’t understand how that PF v Giants wasn't investigated for match fixing.
 
My guess is it’s because it’s an AFL directive. We’re paying our penance.

I dunno how much the AFL pull these strings. It's their fault we ended up with Hinkley. Not because they orchestrated it as such, but because, for better or worse, we had Leon Cameron all lined up to replace Primus (the players had even been informed) before the AFL backed GWS came in and stole him frfom under our nose in the middle of the night. We then went on a mad scramble to find a face saving coach at the 11th hour and, hey presto, we got Ken Hinkley. He really was the last man standing.

If we had an average VIC sides umpiring over the journey we’d have won more.
The comp is ****ed.
 
It's also quite possible that Chad said that Ken was going, most of the players are happy about it, there's a few that might be a bit sorry to see him go, but they'll move on OK. That would seem like a fairly normal situation after a coach has been there that long.
 
No, mate. AFL have bigger fish to fry. Like which of Auld or Dillon replaces Gillon and keeps their job.

If they still have time to deny us wearing the bars. They have time to dictate that we aren’t in a position to payout a coaching contract.

Besides, I’m of the opinion that when it comes to setting the agenda, Koch is more of an AFL man than a Port Adelaide man.

Remember back in 2012 Rucci kept banging on about Boak being nailed on to Matthew Primus and threatening to leave if Primus was sacked? How did that go? It's all bullshit. Kane is just a trouble maker and always has been. It's in the blood.

He's still sulking after Primus took them down for a cold late night beach swim, where Kane took the fetal position in the back seat of a car because he was too cold.

I’m not suggesting that the AFL are specifically telling us to keep Ken. More that they’ve set us an austerity budget and paying out Ken doesn’t fit that.

It takes less time and effort to say “No. Go away.” than it is to say “Okay, let’s look into that for a coupla hours.”

The AFL is an immovable object at present with regard to the Bars. Immovable objects can be dealt with using modern science and nous.

Seemingly immovable country bumpkin senior coaches who throw Chinese tea over their shoulders on global TV are a different challenge.

Beveridge may be average, but let's not forget the coaching masterclass he gave Hinkley in last year's preliminary final. He's miles better than the trash we're stuck with.

The Club sets its own budgets and the AFL always approves them.

That’s what Koch tells us publicly.

You think he’s not telling the truth?
 
I'm still picking my jaw off the floor that Hinkley is just 55. He's not much older than me and i could almost pass for his son.
Grandson.
