It's unreal. Caro last night said Hinkley is under the most pressure but it should be Pyke. Hinkley at least has brought in some young talent. Wut?! Pyke made a grand final less than 2 years ago. Port haven't won a final in 5 years.

Absolutely, yes. Port have been huge on media inclusivity over the last few years, particularly with the AFL360 guys, with Caro, and with Michelangelo Rucci, so they'll all sing his praises for the sake of looking after their own interests. And Kane Cornes loves him because Hinkley rescued and extended Kane's career when he arrived in 2013 and then gave his brother Chad an assistant coaching gig at the club.
Warren Tredrea, on the other hand, doesn't get much of a run in the Vic media but is fairly prominent here in SA. As the only major Port presence in the media without any particular attachment to or agenda regarding Hinkley, he has been scathing.
This coming weekend, is a damned if you do, damned if you don’t weekend for Ken.
Do a hatchet job on Freo, and the media will say they beat a demoralised & undermanned Freo.
Lose to Freo, and the media will say that Freo played out of their skins due to changing coaches.
Take nothing out of this weeks game.

Could be worse - we've got Goody until end of 2022. It's all part of our 6 year plan of destruction.
Every chance Roo gets his best mate back to AFC before then, so there is hope yet.

Heard on the radio this morning he is in the running for Chapman’s job (I think that’s his name) as he will probably give it away in a year or so’s time. Wow! Could you imagine if it happened!

Say Port sack Hinkley after the weekend, and have to pay him out, wouldn't be just be repeating the Matthew Primus disaster, promoting an assistant on less money than most 0ther senior coaches in the league ?
Still think Ken survives going into 2020, despite the understandable growing supporter anger and unrest. It's sad to see this proud and historic football club (counting the SANFL Magpies obviously) in such a poor state financially..

Already feel like throwing up, just thinking about it.

$700k of that is the fee paid out of the $4m+ sponsorship raised by Port and AFL to buy the game off the Saints.

Port does (most likely) have the cattle, which is why the PAFC fans are up in arms over Kenny.
The AFL won't help them out if they need to ask for funding to pay KH out. Carlton had this problem years ago when we tried to sack Denis Pagan mid season..

We have the cattle to win 14 games a year with a reasonable run with injuries IMO. When Wingard and Polec were traded out and doom and gloom on the Port board and some said we are heading to bottom 4, I wrote we will win between 10-14 games given who is on our list and the territory game we place. We get the ball inside 50 enough, ranked #1 for almost all of the season, but we are poor at converting to goals in particular and scores in general.
The coach is the one that can squeeze out that extra 2 or 3 wins out of the group, to go to the next level or doesn't get them motivated enough so that we have yo-yo seasons, win we aren't favourites, lose when we are and the expectations are high for a win.
That's what Port fans are sick of under Hinkley - the yo-yoing and inconsistency. They say a team takes on the characteristics of the coach. Hinkley is flaky and after a good start and enthusiasm of the first 2 years, his flakiness in selections, strategy, tactics and gold passes has turned my team into a flaky one.
How are people feeling about his chances of survival now?
11-11, a 7-goal win in a dead-rubber to cap off the season. 27K in attendance. I reckon he might hold on purely because Essendon and Adelaide look set further crowd the coaching marketplace.

Let's hit the f*ken road!
It's got to be super frustrating following Port at the moment. Really nice list., but I almost feel that Hinkley is still the right man for the job.
Definitely the most intruiging side in the competition.

Well if we can't get a coaching change, I at least hope we can get a board change.

Hinkley probably will go but the list is awful apart from the kids drafted last year and odd player 2/3 of the list would struggle to get games at other clubs

These players at the minimum need to be let go or traded as they just not AFL standard and while Hinkley needs to share blame a lot goes to admin and recruiting staff, as you see thats alot to replace for the new coach...
