Coach Has Ken Hinkley Been Found Out?

[Stevi_Tigers]

As we all know Ken Hinkley had a great start to his coaching career getting port into the 8 in his first year. On the back of his coaching and head fitness guru Darren Burgess. They backed that up by making the prelim the next year.

Port were rated a genuine flag threat in 2015 but missed the 8 all together.

Have coaches caught on to Hinkley's game plan or does he simply not have a plan b at his disposal? They have recruited big name players thinking they are a chance can their current game plan get them there?

Port have been found out. 2013-14 they had an almost feared perception of superior fitness. That's been eroded now.

They're just not switched on today, oddly. Whereas Adelaide are and loving it.

Port going half assed about it mentally.

 

[Ian Dunross]

Fan of Hinkley, but on what we see, he appears to be a largely motivational coach, rather than a tactician, Walsh and Richardson appear to have been very important.

Voss perhaps not the best off sider

 

[SpeciousArgument]

Walsh and Richardson leaving has hurt Hinkley more than port fans want to admit

In on 1rd page in case Port mounts a comeback and wins.

I don't think there is any doubt about the importance of these guys

Gone early OP, Port have settled too lare

 

[sobrave]

yes

 

[BoxMatrix]

Yep. If he's as good of a coach as we've all been told, he'll be able to shake up the game plan and make Port contenders.

Yeah... Port will easily overcome the 51 point deficit.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Seriously, I saw Port reserves last week in the SANFL and there's not a lot there to call on. Even Butcher still gets a game.

How do u pronounce 1rd?

Nah Kern is a gun, would swap Richo for him in a heartbeat.

Port just not switched on today and the Crows are on fire.

 

[Tyrone Time]

Hinkley has a game plan?
I thought he was just the anti Ross Lyon.

Bit harsh on your coach who's not working with much.

Fird. Can mean anywhere from first to third.

You think so? Port didn't look good for most of last week, either. Only got over the line against a young, fatiguing Saints side that had missed a practice game.

Hinkley has not been found out, the players have stopped playing for him.

"I would run through a wall for him" my ass

[Ian Dunross]

Why have they stopped playing for him?

Was there a specific incident?

Is that ITK?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Was found out last year but teams always get the "one bad year" benefit of the doubt.

They haven't looked any good since Walsh left.

They desperately need a tactician and I doubt Voss is the man.

Kochie said it himself re the appointment of Hinkley - it was culture over strategy.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Well I'm glad I changed my tip at the last second.

 

[Ian Dunross]

Voss out one of the gun Hawks assistants in.

 

[Angus Young]

They're just not switched on today, oddly..

What do u mean oddly?????????????

They haven't been switched on since 2014.
