This was from 2017. Could we get lucky this time.
Pressure coming from Kochie and the Adelaide “fishbowl” are why Ken Hinkley wants out, according to one reporter.
Senior Oz journo Greg Denham reported on Monday that Hinkley had asked Port Adelaide to release him from the last year of his contract, and then explained on SEN the reasons why:
Sorry if I got your hopes up.

Senior Oz journo Greg Denham reported on Monday that Hinkley had asked Port Adelaide to release him from the last year of his contract, and then explained on SEN the reasons why:
“There was a meeting over there in Adelaide on Saturday. The chairman (David Koch) was attending and trying to talk Ken around into staying,” Denham said on SEN.
“He wants out.”
“There is a combination of pressure from above from the chairman over time, and I think the straw that broke the camel’s back was after their lost to West Coast when he came out and made some unbelievable ranting about the players’ commitment which upset the coach.
“The fishbowl environment in Adelaide where he has no room to move he and his wife can’t even go out in peace, as opposed to the Gold Coast where no one would even know him.”

Nah too hard to believe. You want to leave a season earlier than contracted because you can't go out in peace but you sign a 3 year extension? Somebody's lying.

He thinks he's a smart businessman because he played a smart businessman on TV once. Like a certain other Prez.
He got triple barrelled flushed!.

I'm not saying that showdown 44 was our best win under Ken, but every coach will get hyped over such a close win so i wouldn't use that game to define our "tone" and as I said earlier we have a fair few strong wins under him (I've labelled examples earlier in this thread) and the Melbourne game this year wasn't a clean game, but the persistence we gave as a group was definitely one of our best efforts we've given from a mental perspective.

Kens a pay check coach- literally just collecting a pay check for the next 28 months.
Count down the days.
‘Punch above our weight’ bullshit- reckon we have finished in the bottom half of the competition more than we have the top.

He will wear a hole in it with that long contract of his. Even the cup holder will be worn away from coke cans. There's an idea we should collect his coke cans to pay out his contract.

Actually Ken, we were the team to beat for 100+ years of SANFL football and should have been for the better part of 2001-2007 in the AFL. Piss off with downplaying the favourites tag. We should be favourites every ******* week and damn well live up to it. That's what "existing to win premierships" is.
What's with Hinkley on media street this year? Every time I turn the telly or radio on I hear that inarticulate buffoon. So over the BS. We've got a long way to go to be like Richmond...........
Just sack the campaigner. Paying out his contract isn't gonna bankrupt us and it's less damaging than slowly driving away all the supporters

The thing that has annoyed me personally regarding last year and the first four rounds of this year is our lack of ability to reflect our wins with a strong percentage. It was our low percentage that cost us our last opportunity to get back into the eight last year, and it's not just because of the defensive style, Ken relies too heavily on our mental strength and teamwork to win us games, which I wouldn't have any issue with provided we had some good clean football to back it up, but we simply don't play good football in order to score high and smash weak teams, the only upside is that it gives us a better chance against tougher teams, but even then it's still a gamble as there are sides that manage to take advantage of our poor positioning and young defence line. I like that Ken is focusing more on the bond of our players, but if we can't show that through good football then it's not gonna be worth much.
Fracture? Apart from one or two simpletons, virtually everybody is united in their distain for the man.
Don't we all just love a blow-in bogan buffoon telling us what Pordadelaide is all about.

Hinkley - 13 years of Pus incoming.
Heard a snippet of Caro on AA yesterday and she was saying how Pyke is under pressure.
When it comes to Ken though.....crickets.
Blight virtually said the same during the week, said Port and Ken are doing well as he expected them to finish around 12th....okay Malcom.
What the actual *? Is this real life?
Would be nice if he copped some heat for being consistently s**t.

Lol. Relies on our mental strength? It's not 2013/14 anymore. The players no longer believe. "We're only a small club ", "We have a long way to go to be like Richmond", "punching above our weight". It's no wonder we lose the unlosable.
Ah but ken says everything the AFL want to here, never blasting umpires or players, praising the opposition teams. Remember, this man is almost the face of the AFL in China, so he makes sure he tows the AFL line, what a puppet.
