Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
I am confused as to why we write off pretty much everyone, myself included who have differing opinions to the ones contained in this thread. And I don't think this guy is saying anything to promote negative reactions deliberately. Having an opinion and respecting other people's isn't trolling.There is no point. Given your posts and avatar, you are either a troll or Ken himself.
Where do you think Hinkley has gone wrong? Outside of not winning the final game of the year, what makes him a bad coach?
We are gonna terrorise Lachie Neale I reckon. Why would a head coach say something so stupid before a big game.I mean, my entire point was that he was accountable but not culpable. Given I haven't received a single response as to why he is a bad coach I'll stick with my assumption.
Another question. At the beginning of 2021, or even now, does anyone actually think that another coach available in the market would have a better chance of achieving a premiership than Ken?
Well because he... ahhh... errr... hmmm. I mean you've got to see it in... in... you know agh... in............... nup ya got meWe are gonna terrorise Lachie Neale I reckon. Why would a head coach say something so stupid before a big game.
Did he ever really have an offer from the Gold Coast though?I think we live in the age where stability is looked at as a positive over an extended time from a club point of view and from an AFL point of view.
It’s not like Ken hasn’t tried but he hasn’t got it done.
Won’t surprise me if somehow Geelong chase him.
If he gets an offer in front of him like he did with Gold Coast watch him go.

I believe Hinkley threatening to break his contract and go to the Gold Coast for more money and less pressure was just a ruse concocted by his manager to bluff Koch into giving Hinkley a premature and thoroughly undeserved and unnecessary contract extension.
The fact that Hinkley threatened that was grounds alone not to extend his contract. If Koch didn't value stability so much more than success he would have released Hinkley from his contract and told him to go to the Gold Coast and not to let the door hit him on the way out.
Koch seems to have this misconception that if you have stability for an extended period of time success will naturally come.
Every coach tries something different if its not working. Change doesnt equal winning though. Sometimes you just come up against a team more determined and better than yours.
As i aaid in the game thread, this was more of an execution issue than something more ingrained. More inside 50s, 5.14.
By the by, Rucci did the same thing.
Launching a broadside at ignorant, ungrateful fans who were agitating for change after the disastrous end to the 2019 season… before predicting we’d finish 10th in 2020.
The most annoying thing is we seemed to be finally doing it early in the season after all these years.Even as mere arm chair experts we could pick up that our forward 50 entries were too high and long and that we needed to lower our eyes. Why couldn’t the head coach identify this and convey to the players to make the change?
I mean, the players themselves should pick up on this but I guess your average footballer isn’t all that bright

Have we ever had a known player on here?Was I the only one who thought the Paul Geister avatar was Zak Butters?
We should have let Hinkley go when he leveraged Gold Coast against us.I think we live in the age where stability is looked at as a positive over an extended time from a club point of view and from an AFL point of view.

Koch really shits me with this. On the one hand he's smart enough to call out McGuire / Gil and the Heritage round as like Insider Trading, yet repeatedly fails to avoid the sunk cost fallacy with Hinkley.I think we live in the age where stability is looked at as a positive over an extended time from a club point of view and from an AFL point of view.

He's an AFL man thru' n thru'. The PAFC is just his current vehicle on the journey. It's why he never ruffles the feathers of Head Office.Hard not to think that 2020 is as good as it'll ever get under Hinkley. He gives every indication of lacking football smarts and being clueless on how to get the team to the next level. For all his lip service to Port's supporters and history, his attitude and coaching doesn't adhere to the Port Adelaide ethos and never will.

Hinkley > Pep Guardiolayeah sTaBiLiTy BrEeDs SuCcEsS! what was that line where Koch was like "big clubs like Arsenal and Barca keep their coach for ages, so that's what we'll do, hopefully it works"
