Wow that's actually depressing it could've changed his entire trajectory post playing..

YOU SHOULD'VE OFFERED HIM MORE MONEY YOU PURPLE LOSERS!!

 

[chachi11]

Sack Freo

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Doesn't hate to lose. It's part of what makes him such a ****ing loser.

Legitimately hasn't given a **** in 8 years.

Name one successful coach who would be giggling and cuddling with an opposition player in the immediate aftermath of your 4th loss on the trot, a promising season spiraling out of control.

The losses just don't hurt him at all.

Surprise surprise, it's always been dollars first, second and third for Ken Hinkley.

He doesn't like coaching us, hates pressure. But he's not going to get a buffoon TV presenter to give him close to 7 figures a year with no strings attached anywhere else.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Janus thinks Donuts is mensa worthy.

Janus knows Hinkley absolutely sucks. He never directly defends him or says that his coaching is good.

He just posts contrarian shit about everything else that losses could be blamed on because that's how he has fun on the internet.

 

[TeeKray]

I don't even know if that is legit but either way I'm giggling at the idea that 28 years later both Freo and Hinkley are still chasing that elusive premiership.

It's 100% legit. It's from a Usenet newsgroup archive from Google groups of rec.sport.football.australian, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link? Did anyone else use to post on there? I think I saw Macca19 on there. This reply is quite funny, too.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

If you take away the winning streak we are now 1-6 this season.

 

[rogerjames]

No one has an issue in the NBA with it because the interviews are quick 2 questions max recorded during the break then played during the quarter sounding live. Not actually doing it live during the game, last night i was like WTF is this.

Promotion of Ken in a safe place. Disgusting stunt.

 

[rogerjames]

Although we've seen peculiar celebrations on the sideline from Kenny, he's never appeared to me to be on the spectrum. He has often appeared to me to be a deadset yobbo.

He's actually both

 

[rogerjames]

It’s ok guys. We can get Chaplin if Carr goes

Hilarious & yet so so scary

Ahahah 30 years ago and the "sensitive new age guy" was the equivalent of today's woke.

 

[PowerBaz]

If he getting a 2 year deal as I’ve heard (as in already sorted) then it shows the club is happy with being mid to upper table mid season.

There are no guarantees getting a new ruckman, defender will make us better, those ‘missing pieces’ come and go every year, I recall thinking this when Dixon arrived.

It’s either a GF appearance or nothing .
Surely anything else is no different to where we have been before?

 

[PowerLil]

Forever on the shop for missing pieces while development & age/experience demographics are all over the shop in other areas

It's.not the first time he picked up his bat and ball and went home sulking either. Left Fitzroy mid season prior to going to Geelong. Quality person our "Kenny".

The wanton refusal of his defenders to read between the lines of his behaviour is shocking.

Coming up on 20 years ago, Choco coughed up another minor premiership with nothing to show for 19 wins on the year. But was under absolutely no illusions that 2004 was a must-win scenario with heads rolling left and right, including his most likely, if it happened again. He ruthlessly set about plotting a course to bring the cup home with all the associated salvation and positive consequences that entailed.

You never ever get this sense with Ken Hinkley, because there’s never been any consequences for anyone other than Chad Wingard and the John Butchers, Kane Mitchells, and Andrew Moores.

At the end of 2003 Choco sacked Stephen Paxman.

In 2024 the shuffling husk of Tom Jonas still wears the #1.

We need Sanjeev Gupta to come out and say we'll never win a premiership under Ken Hinkley.

The optics of Hinkley having an enjoyable chat with the opposition captain after a tough loss is really hard to swallow for the Port faithful and it is almost to the point of a troll. Like he has the contract on the table and he feels powerful enough again to do whatever errant or deviant behaviour he wants because it is allowed by Koch.

Yes, it shows that Hinkley does not hurt when we lose. This is really, really bad. It shows the rest of the team that winning isn't important. You don't want that message to go to throughout the team. There is a great chance that it is quite normal at the club even if some players still want to win.

Psychology aside, my main point is why hasn't any of the team whether in administration, coaching or the players called him out on it.

And just to add an extra bit to the losing philosophy of the current group, the work/life balance so vaunted by our ex-captain is nothing more than an excuse to lose.

 

[Smartys Power]

Geez that long.

Kochie didn’t think it was long enough.

 

[cretinboy]

Hinkley stays on at Port I am done. Will not be back until he and Koch are gone. Actually feel nothing but antipathy towards Port ATM, when I'm should be feeling the love.

 

[rogerjames]

Hinkley is such a bad coach that when he eventually gets replaced, with this current midfield, we will be up there fighting for the Cup.

Or we'll have wasted the most talented midfield since the Lion kings

It'll be like West Coast in the '00s with Hinkley instead of meth.

Put Hinkley there in those times I'd imagine he still rolls with Paxman & Che the next year.

100%.

Paxman down back with Chad Cornes in that square peg/round hole subordinate forward role, rather than the ‘a spot’s opened up’ dynamic scorelaunching CHB who won All-Australian honours and came third in the Brownlow.

"Watch out? Watch out for what"?

2 more years".
