Because he was like 32 and playing mostly forward? That's like blaming Hinkley for Robbie Gray's form deteriorating.
Then he goes to St. Kilda and aside from injuries pretty much regained form overnight in ruck including schooling our blokes.
That's irrelevant to my point which is they all go shite under Hinkley, there's a pattern.
Maybe the train harder for longer approach doesn’t always work?
Concerning is putting it mildly. Add insult to injury, he's also our Head of Development. "FULLY FUNDED FOOTBALL DEPARTMENT"
Leave them alone. It was hot in the changerooms apparently.
Yeah but cant i live in a world where port actually have a good ruckman? Why are the options Ladhams or Lycett
I think Hinkley turns a blind eye to many deficiencies personally, and backs in things he sees work once or twice for too long.

You could easily slot Charlie Dixon into this category, but the most important man on Port Adelaide's list is Aliir Aliir. Key defence has been the question mark over Ken Hinkley's team in recent years, and with Tom Clurey off to a slow start in 2023 and Tom Jonas and Trent McKenzie both into their 30s, the importance of Aliir is magnified. He is Port's best intercept marker, and along with Ryan Burton and Dan Houston is capable of launching attacks from the defensive 50. After injuring his ankle in the opening round last year, Aliir missed three games – all losses. Although his absence was clearly not the only reason Port Adelaide lost, it did highlight his structural importance and influence on the team. - Michael Whiting
