Leah if you’re reading this, you absolutely nailed it! Thank you and maybe you should replace Kane on SEN😁

Kane answer to everything is 'whats the point'. This guy is as thick as the eyebrows on his head. He's been saying the same thing all year because he has no other argument, he's betting everything on them to make the finals so he can say 'i told you so' and now that hasnt worked he's coming up with the narrative that port will blood young players so when they lost the last 3 he will say 'that was a period of experimentation and you cant judge ken on losing the last 6 games of the year. Kane is the personification of a media puppet and he cant help himself anymore, its just funny now

“Don Pyke? Seriously…..Don Pyke?”

Yes Kane, the guy who achieved more in 3 years as a senior coach, with less to work with, then Hinkley has in a decade

Remind me what simple Ken's record against don Pyke was?

God the caller after Leah... its not Hinkley's fault we just need to trade MG for Brodie Grundy...

The same Don Pyke who made a semi final and then a grand final with the Crows in his first two years before being the fall guy for a team destroying camp that wasn't even his idea? The same Don Pyke who has made a fortune in business and is regarded as one of the smartest men in the industry?

Yeah, he's got nothing on old mate the used car salesman from Camperdown who races/shoots greyhounds in his spare time.
 
In other words, last year’s result can be put down to a relatively easy draw. So Ken got lucky making a Prelim. So that then means what about his coaching ability and legacy?
It means that every teams finishing position in a given year is affected by the strength of their fixture.

Geelong, for example, had West Coast (2-0 - hasn’t been played yet but it’s at Kardinia), North Melbourne (2-0), the Western Bulldogs (2-0), St Kilda (2-0/1-1) and Port Adelaide (2-0) as their double ups this year.

Last year they had Brisbane (1-1), Melbourne (0-2), Richmond (2-0), GWS (1-1) and St Kilda (2-0).

That’s 9/10 wins in 2022 vs 6 wins in 2021. So are Geelong actually better or worse this year when you consider last year they won 16 games and this year they’ve won 15 with games against St Kilda, Gold Coast and West Coast to come?

Of course, fixture strength is not the only thing that matters, but not accepting it as a contributing factor to performance would be shallow analysis of team performance.

If Kane used his memory post the preliminary final loss last year Kane said "It's a Grand Final place or bust for Hinkley" he quickly changed his tune to his current love in of Ken after Ken contacted him saying the criticism of him was unfair and all of that.

That right there says exactly what Kane is. He's full of s**t and will change his tune as soon as there is confrontation or he's upset the man who handed him 300 games and let him go to be a fireman. I'd argue that's the point our culture changed to what we have with the players currently.

Kane and what he says cant be held in any regard. We desperately need Tredders in the media as he's the only one who would Ken to account and call it as it is.
 
Kane clutching at straws saying Pyke couldn’t handle the SA media scrutiny (suggesting Hinkley can)

Pyke was attacked relentlessly on all fronts and stood his ground for 2 years.

Ken has had one hard question put to him in 10 years and he was visibly rattled.

Ken is so good at handling media scrutiny that he literally did a Dustin Martin for 5 months after the most pathetic home prelim loss in history.

Bringing up 2013 after Leah couldn't respond...Cornes is smegma
2013 is a fallacy, without darren burgess making port an ultrafit running team as opposed to the rest of the comp is what made ken look good in 2013-14. Once the rest of the comp caught up we were exposed to Real Ken Coaching from 2015 onwards. The only credit Ken deserves is the appointment of burgess but as i remember that wasnt his appointment but a desire for Burgess to come back to australia and he had connections with port. And this Ken saved us rubbish is rewriting history at its best, the club was down because the footy department was gutted by the previous admin, any coach including jane doyle would have had an uptick after that time, the previous 10 years record of the club prior to Ken is a far better record than the current 10 year record of his coaching. Kane just a muppet and cant help himself

Kane builds are a million strawman here. Saying we only want Don Pyke or Alistair Clarkson. That is not it at all.

We want someone else. Go through a process and find the best candidate. Don't dismiss supporters by putting forward these notions that suggest we are being unreasonable.
 
It's great that the 9 shows are starting to talk about this. Still radio silence from Ken's boyfriend over on Fox but that's to be expected.

And the more you think about it, the more the silence from Koch is telling.

We're close.

It wasn't even a question. It was a sign.
 
To be honest I don't pay much attention to what Kane says. He's an unwavering Hinkley apologist. Ken looked after him and he's returning the favour big-time.

Port could lose the remaining games of the season and he'd still try to defend him using contrived arguments that would be easy to shoot down.
 
I know we don't place much value in the comments about players being upset if Ken gets the arse, but most of them are likely to be better off under a new regime. In that case, their hurt feelings won't last long.

Take Dixon, for example. At the moment, he is a Ken sycophant. But if he had a better structure and we did not rely on a clogged forward line, he, along with Marshall and Giorgiades are likely to thrive. That should be enough to get him invested.

Similarly, Boak would be better off with less chaotic support around him.
 
Kane again rolling with Ken singlehandedly saved Port in 2013. I think we all give him credit for being a big part of that but :

  • it wasn't just him
  • it was 10 years ago

How long has one man dined out on 2 good seasons a decade ago. Anyway, if not for Robbie's third quarter in the Freo semi then 2014 would have actually been a disaster. 2014 is a really a massive outlier.
