The coaching equivalent of fingerpainting.

There's The Art of War

Then there's whatever this is of Ken's:

David King the only footy analyst able to see through the bullsh*t.

The influence he had over the football media is astonishing.

Grant Thomas was first

i put ryder as a flop given we immediately lost him for an entire season because of essendongs drug cheating, then in his last 2 years had trouble staying on the park. he had a good year in 2017 for sure. more to the point, he was meant to be the missing piece of the puzzle and his tenure coincided being at our absolute nadir of kernys tenure (2015-2019). we traded our first 2 picks to get him, going "all in" after the 2014 success and it backfired spectacularly. at 27 he should have been at his absolute prime and we only got 73 games out of him in 5 years. flop.

We certainly didn't get enough out of Ryder. Big talent though which made it more annoying. Think we gave up picks 17 & 37 for Ryder.

What is he even on about

Standard Hinkley speak

 

[rogerjames]

Ahhhh. Refreshing, honest Ken. Telling it like it is.

Glad you've seen the light finally

It's similar to "The Art of Regaining the Ashes" with Ben Stokes.

Which is precisely why I want us to do better than the so called experts think in 2026. It'll leave a helluva lot of people with egg on their face if we play finals, despite the absence of the "great" Ken Hinkley!!!!

We are no where near finals.

 

[#Port Patriot#]

We are no where near finals.

That's not true at all...

 

[philreich]

We are no where near finals.

We'll see about that - I don't reckon our last 7 quarters of football have been a fluke. Time will tell.

Nah they definitely haven't been they've been some of the best we've played but it's way too early.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

We tried really hard but someone has to lose

I guess having a father figure wasn't high on their list of priorities

The way our boys played against Geelong, I'd say that they played as if they were enjoying NOT having a father figure as a coach. The Hinkley-imposed shackles have been removed, and they appear to be enjoying their football.

I'm sure it's been mentioned multiple times on this forum, how close we were to getting Dunkley.

Would have been a great get for us. So would Dawson, but we weren't a snowballs chance of getting him.

 

[Rash]

Oh no, not the 36ers

 

[Portwrld]

Oh no, not the 36ers

This makes me think, so 6ers are owned by a certain franchise… imagine if he went there hahaha

 

[Steve Dore]

Oh no, not the 36ers

"High-performance expertise" and "Ken Hinkley" in the same sentence.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Don’t the 36ers use Port’s facilities?

Can’t even get rid of him physically

 

[crafty_bernardo]

 

[Visenfest]

Ken couldn't cope with the pressure of coaching West Coast.
