I'm not sure Hinkley will leave Port Adelaide, after all the Gold Coast are basket case but with this being said I understand the financial security of a 5 year deal on around $800k a year would certainty be hard to pass up when at Port Adelaide its a 2 year deal on about $400-450k
Certainty not a good look for an AFL funded club poaching a contracted coach and the AFL stamping it off

From a Port Adelaide supporters perspective my feelings if Hinkley left, hmm I'm unsure to be honest, A fresh voice, new game plan, new ideas could freshen the place up. I actually think we have a pretty good list, Yes maybe I'm looking through Port Adelaide coloured glasses but I believe we have the best Ruck in the comp, A super CHF (He cops plenty but I seriously rate Dixon), A very good defence with a solid midfield. I add to this some very good young talent coming through (also key position talent which is vital) I then ask myself why would you want to leave Port for the Gold Coast? Could simply only be for the money.
For what its worth I actually like Hinkley and prefer he stays but If Hinkley does leave be really interesting to see who we appoint.
Dew, Franco???
interesting times ahead.
you've gota keep on keep'n on .........
