Hinkley couldn't really be more different to Blight. Blight turned a couple of half chances into flags. Hinkley turns rolled gold chances into embarrassing losses.
Blight made 3 GF's before coming to Adelaide, Malcolm might be whacky & over the hill now but Hinkley isn't even a pimple on his backside.
If Hinkley grew a moustache it could make all the difference

Blight also got smashed in a couple grand finals. There's no doubt an element of luck was involved in his Adelaide flags.

Ken Hinkley sends Bassett down with executive orders to murder all the players at the Ports academy.

Can't slaughter youngling when you're always being defensive.
He admits as much in his book. One memorable time on GF day he decided to stop the bus at some random oval.
Go out there and have a kick, loosen up and lose the nerves. The wind was tricky and gusting so poor kicks
dropped marks and a potholed surface saw Blight call the players in. As he said we were bloody lucky no-one
did an ankle or knee. He said more than once he was a spur of the moment gambler.
Had a chat with him at the airport driving range one day and asked him just how far did you kick it that
day at Prince's Pk to win the game after the siren. Dunno he said but it gets longer every year.
Here's some more
Blight was farking nuts. My old man was club doctor at the Warriors during the Blight era and I used to get access to the changerooms as 13 or 14 year old. He used to literally strip paint off the walls. He would scream at players 3 inches from their face that they were useless campaigners. I used to stand in the corner trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. He'd then ram a dart and storm back up to the Barry Jarman stand.
They all used to scream at players didn't they? I get it doesn't work now with people getting softer every day but hey the man got results
Yeah they did. I had Chicken Hayes as my under 15s coach. Got hit hard on the centre wing just in front of him. Think I may have been knocked out/concussed. Open my eyes to hear him screaming in his hoarse/ almost lost voice " get uuuuuupppp!"
Different times.
Similar story had my nose broke/taken out illegally out on the wing in front of the coaches box... "Dirty get the **** up!" All I could think of is what a ****ing w***er (didn't get along with him anyways)
*Unfortunately I forgot my shorts (white) that day so borrowed the emergencies... He didn't want them back...

I've seen a former Port player - from early 80s who subsequently crossed to Woodville - write some quite unflattering things about Blight on Facebook.
At least Blight had passion and a desire to win, unlike the dropkick in our coach's box.

Plenty of former crows players don't like him either. There seems to be a belief wanky love-ins win flags now however.

At this stage I'd prefer an old coach to the current coach
