Following the AFL's most prestigious award and well-known event in the Brownlow Medal ceremony last night, it was the coaches turn's to vote it out against or for each other to find out who was the best of the crop. John Longmire, coach of the Sydney Swans, took away this years award to make it 2 AFLCA coach of the year awards in 3 years, but reportedly only beat Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson by a single vote. Ken Hinkley was last years winner after being voted by the other coaches for his outstanding revival of the Port Adelaide Football Club. This year, he is reported to have finished 3rd, as the poll on the Official AFL website allows the fans to vote between Clarkson, Longmire and Hinkley for whom they thought should have won the award. At the time of posting this, Hinkley sits on 52% of the votes from the fans whilst Clarko and Longmire are sitting on 22% and 26% respectively.
I would just like to give another round of applause to the man who changed our football club, Ken Hinkley. His 'Yes We Ken' mantra has just transformed this club and I don't think that many coaches can say that they took a club from 14th place in 2012 to a 5th placed finish after finals in 2013 and a 3rd placed finish after finals in 2014. Brilliant coach, brilliant attitude - can he get any better?
Glad the media and the fans are recognising him for everything that he has done. Just shows that the coaches know best, after Robbie took out the AFLCA players award! You'll get em' next year Ken, carn the pear!
