I think Hinkley coached sides have always stacked up well in finals. He's either won or fallen agonisingly short in every final he's coached at Port. The only final where general game style could be said to have contributed to the loss was against Geelong in 2013, where lack of outside run and polish saw a 23 point half time lead blown away by a vastly more experienced team in the second half. Even then a spirited last gasp comeback kept it interesting. This was more a list problem that Hinkley quickly sought to rectify.
Sure, there may have been some poor coaching moves in other finals, but usually we have given a fairly good account of ourselves and losses have come down to small moments of player fallibility i.e. terrible inaccuracy in 2014 and 2017, or a Lycett meltdown and a Hartlett brainfade last year.
The frustrating and worrying aspects of the Hinkley reign have more been the inability to even qualify for finals despite clearly having a list that could challenge the best sides. We've either incomprehensibly blown it to miss out completely (2015,2018,2019) or qualified below where we should have (2014,2017). Now he's got us consistently in the top 2, let's hope the pressure increase he seems to instil in finals continues.

If Silvers was any good he'd be going after Kenny Hinkley.Lol Rowey. “What a great leader Silvers is, going after big names to bolster our footy club..Balme, Burgess, Burgoyne”
Seriously mate that’s what ALL footy clubs do.

What is the PAFC's longest premiership drought?This fairy tale they are trying to make is concerning

Eddie and his sons being denied entry to WA is the best finals entertainment in AFL history!
The "he has to stay in Melbourne" bit really made me giggle, makes him sound like he's a school kid or something. This is amazing.
What a great year it's been for our man. Loses the presidency, Collingwood finish 17th, denied entry to the grand final for the first time in decades. A Port premiership and then approval to wear the PBs would really cap things off nicely.
If we win the flag we need to chuck the PBs on in the rooms before the song
His ego will now demand he find away around it, no matter the cost.
What is the PAFC's longest premiership drought?
We are on our longest AFL one now.
How about over 150 years? Is this also our longest?

I hear he actually said “ I’d work at Richmond for free rather than going to that sh*tc#nt of a franchise “That's what they want you to think.
More likely he stayed at Richmond for less than the Crows offered.
