Who said Ken wasn't a winner?....He's hit the front.
Go Ken. Make him the winner you so want him to be Port fans.

Why wouldn't he? If he was coaching one of the other 17 clubs I'd want him to stay there forever too. One less club we'd have to worry about ever beating us in a final.
After 132 unsuccessful games as a player and 246 unsuccessful games as a coach our man Kenny is finally on the cusp of winning something! I'm so proud. He's finally top top top!

Ken Hinkley will hold his seasons coached at one club without a GF record forever.
He'll hold the record for least successful coach of all time maybe forever too, will go past Bill Stephen in round 11 next year.

Maybe it is Hinkley's time, but hes not a bad coach. I think hes been amazing.
Port people's confidence is wonderful, and I love our brother club, but this "Hinkley is the Problem" garbage is utterly delusional.
Port is a small club with not enough money or good enough facilities. The playing list is not the best albeit beautifully developed.
Similar profile to North, who blamed Brad Scott for failed runs. Once he left the lack of resources smashed them to the bottom.
Of course if Port fall when Ken leaves he can be blamed for that I guess.

Is he 'the problem'? Who knows. But what we do know with absolute certainty after 11 years of no success and of underperforming when it counts time and time and time again is that he's not the solution.

My favourite coaches
Craig McRae

Chris Fagan
My least favourite coaches
Ross Lyon
Ken Hinkley
Luke Beveridge
Also developed a few negative thoughts when John Longmire complained about the umpiring after the EF loss to Carlton and he was probably right but also needs to realize his team were gifted a finals spot as well. You get what you get in this game.

Won only 2 finals in 9 yearsSerious question. Has a supporter group ever hated a long term coach as much as Port supporters hate Hinkley?
Every club has had a coach who has done poorly for 2-4 years, been unpopular as a result and got moved on. I'm talking about a long term coach who has actually produced some reasonable results. Can't think of anyone as hated as hinkley.
Seems to live in alternate world to other coaches with no media pressure, in fact many cheerleaders who want him re signed earlier and earlier

Failure to win finals, failure to make grand final with a list that is close enough particularly in 2020 with the covid advantages, and seeming protection by footy media not afforded to any other coach are the main reasons; then peripherals such as playing favourites and greyhounds.

Yeah that's fair, coaches for better or worse have a lifespan.
I am reacting to the cooda wooda shooda blaming him for not winning grand finals. He's taken a paper thin list way higher than it looked to be going on paper, especially this year.
If he gets cut anytime soon he'd make an awesome mentor/assistant eg at Richmond. Not for Carr, who may be the natural choice at Alberton: whoever comes next at Port must have clear air.

Truly can’t imagine another club ever being so complacent when it comes to a coach. Even Bevo's in the hot seat despite winning a flag and making another GF in the same time. It's almost a meme how ridiculous Port have been with Ken that I sometimes have to stop and wonder if the footy gods are trying to take this piss out of me.
I wouldn't call the list paper thin tbh, two players in the top 5 AFLCA votes is nothing to turn your nose at. And even if the list may have gone over expectations, we saw the absolute failure 2018 brought. Have a look at that list and see if that team should've capitulated the way it did. That's the year he should've been gone if not for the fact he threatened to go to the Gold Coast a year prior and we locked him in for way too long.
Who is responsible for developing the list? Are you suggesting we should sack Davies or Cripps? The same group of blokes have been there close to a decade at all senior administrative levels so who is at fault?
This is utter garbage.
You can't sack Cripps. In the only 2 years we gave him any draft collateral he hatched Rozee, Butters, Duursma, Bergmann, Williams and Georgiades. EskimoPAFC this is for the benefit of the neutrals I know you know this.
