I had a 'mare last night that we stumbled into (and quickly out of) the finals, and Ken's contract was extended further for such a successful season.

As I thought .
Good clubs dont play just one losing final in the last 5 yearsKoch’s comments, fu** me.
Port Adelaide chairman David Koch says every position at the club will be reviewed at the end of the season, including Ken Hinkley’s position as senior coach.
But Kochie ruled out any coaching moves before the end of the year: “Oh god no,” he told FIVEaa Breakfast on Monday. “Good clubs -- you don’t do that.”
“We’ll review it at the end of the year. We’re still one game out of the finals, as weird as that seems at the moment…
“We’ve always said… that our pass or fail mark that we set ourselves is making the finals… we’ve got to deliver that. Our members expect it and we expect it. We’re a club with a proud tradition of succeeding.”
Talking about good clubs and our proud tradition. An intelligent person wouldn’t speak of things they have no idea about.

Koch said they wait until the end of the season, so no mid year sacking. So in your scenario we wont see change until the end of 2020 at best.
...
Now that just seems negligent from the club. I can’t believe we are that incompetent
So I’m taking the view above ^^
Hinkley sacked end of 2019 after he fails his performance target. No need to pay out more than required if done mid season

Seriously, someone needs to print a stack of these pics out you have been doing and plaster them all over Alberton. Send a stack in the post addressed to all the key figures.
This is now the 'sack-jake shipmate' thread

I'm happy to wait until the end of the 2019 season for the club to start making coaching changes, it's kind of pointless to sack a coach and get a caretaker so close to the end of the season. If we were bottom five then it would be a different story, but it's four more weeks, we'll live.
That's better.

Looks Cthonic.
I tend to agree. Means we miss the caretaker "dead-cat bounce" and sneak in to finals but ultimately if Ken is gone and we save some cash all is well.
This is okay as long as:
1) Ken actually gets sacked.
2) We don't go looking for the last man standing again.
3) We don't lose either of Schofield or Montgomery in the mean time.
Yeah, the fact he said we'll make the decision at the end of the season does give me a lot of hope. Normally Koch would say something like "Ken will definately be coaching at Port Adelaide next season", He didn't say that. He said decisions will be made at the end of the season. Also the fact that question was asked is also a good thing.
We need to lose badly this week and have 20k rock up next week to put it beyond any doubt.

If we arent going to sack him before the end of the year, I certainly hope we are talking to prospective coaches regardless. Sitting on our hands while so many clubs are looking for coaches is suboptimal to say the least.

we would all be v concerned with another slack preseason under Ken. Plus the inevitable regressing of players under his guise.
He’s going to leave the club in one hell of a mess if he’s here another season.

Yes very creepy and may have risen from the under world.

I'll wait for the end of the year before I lose my shit but if Hinkley is here next year , I'm giving up my season ticket (since 03 and only missed 2 games)
I think you will notice the messaging has changed. No longer is it Ken is coaching at top of his game etc. His position is up for review. Its a fair shift. Management or Directors are never going to publicly hang their coach out and say he is shite and we are going to sack him. There would be many factors at play and club if they are going to part ways, they will likely be doing it as methodically as possible so as not to incur any unnecessary additional cost. I think sacking him now would be great for all of us, but it probably doesn't achieve a great deal in the long run. Maybe we get a spike and best case slip in to finals, but this season is dead. Lets part ways, undertake a rigorous and detailed search with people like Darren Cahill involved and find us a new coach who can lead us in a new and better direction.
David Koch is the rotting epicentre of the diseased and putrid carcass that was once the PAFC.

I’m with this. It’s going to happen, but as much as we’d all like it to happen now, it won’t.
But it will happen.

My gut feel is that we've already done this review and that we have already engaged our next coach.
