Not a Whateley fan but he's a football romantic and he wants the story of the much maligned coach wins a premiership and sticks it up his detractors. He's happy enough to see that play out as long as it need to. There's nothing in the "white noise justified in wanting blood as Port surge after coach replaced with inanimate carbon rod" story for him.Kane is the Apologist - he owes Ken for his 300 game finish and info when he calls him on speed dial and is supposed to be a Port person.
Whateley is just a Geelong fan of his favourite player as a kid.
