Sack him for God's sake. The man is a moron.
Coach Has Ken Hinkley Been Found Out?

To announce to Brisbane what you're going to do and have the opposition kick the first 7 goals had to be humiliating. It always astounds me when a veteran coach does this, going the man regularly backfires with good teams, and you've gotta have a pretty big ego to brag about your plans against a top 4 team.

See you on the 9th green at 9
Lol leaking what they were going to do to Neale on Thursday for intimidation simply allowed us to put structures in place to work through it. Well played Hink daddy.
And predictably the Port players overplayed their hand.
Embarrassing for Hinkley. Could be his Damien Martyn moment

It's truly one of the most bizarre things I've heard about in footy.
What was the point of leaking it? Did the Port power brokers think that the Lions would just say "Oh, they're going to target Lachie, ok then...." and accept it without a thought about countering it?
Will he walk or will he get sacked? That's the next big question.
strange tactics at Port
They seem like a great club for players to be at. But then they do some weird left field s**t like this.

Ken Hinkley has spent 7 years aggressively getting in his own way at every opportunity.
Selection night melts are a weekly Port Board tradition
Seems to be an issue with Hinkley that was talked about on 'On The Couch'.
He himself seems like an emotional guy, and it appears he is affecting the playing group.
A bit of emotion is OK, but seems like he always uses external factors to try to motivate his team rather than just focusing on his team and what he can control. That's what you need to do though to be a consistently good team.
I still remember his over-the-top celebration of a showdown win when he was roaring and holding up his hands in a '1' and '0' to show they had broken their losing streak to Adelaide...shows too much emotion.
Follly, it's evident that port's form has been erratic but their best is contending. No one can doubt that. Is Hinckley the issue? I don't think so, rather it's the development further down the line for mine.
Speculation of course but fair speculation none the less.
Speculation of course but fair speculation none the less.
Who ultimately is responsible for development? He's had 7 years. It's his list, his development. Time after time we've seen young players come in and star, then either stagnate or go backwards (Wingard, wines, SPP, Marshall, etc)
Most of the assistants have turned over in that time.
It's usually coke zero.. gotta watch the figure.
When he gets stuck into the full strength we know we're in trouble

Yes, fully aware now however there does seem to be a subtle difference in their constitutions for the two clubs.
Of course he is ultimately responsible, but he isn't the only developer.
From the outside looking in he seems like a pretty emotional guy...arguably too emotional. The whole 'terrorise Lachy' thing points to that.
Seems to rely on rev ups and external efforts like giving more effort because it's the Showdown, rather than just focusing on what Port can control and just playing their game every week.

“DON’T CARE” - Ken Hinkley
What weirds me out is how often they get mentioned as flag favourites. I thought that was fair enough in 2015 coming off the back of a season where they made a prelim and were arguably the fittest team in the comp. Ever since then though they've been overrated by a many of the media pundits.
Port do tend to play on emotion. Sometimes it works (e.g. recent showdown), sometimes they look like fools (e.g. Brisbane).

When will one of your supporters dump a truckload of Coke Zero cans at Alberton Oval to send a message?
