Port Adelaide 2017

[carey]

FOX Sports just reported a 3 year extension for Hinkley.

Spooked into it.
Massive call...

Hinkley v Dew or Francou? Come on.

Hinkley everyday of the week.

Hinkley has played us like a fiddle.

Nope, you can probably thank the media more than Hinkley.. they drove this..

Morell and his Ken-foil hat will not be pleased.

[morell]

His manager, Blucher is it? has then.

Very well done. Hes gone from a sketchy next 12 months to a locked in 3 year extension till 2021.

Agreed. Would have been preferable for maybe 2 year extension on lesser money? Now, no doubt would have got a decent pay rise, with an extra year, all cause Kochie opened up his mouth and Kens team took full advantage. And rightly so.

Francou is going nowhere near an AFL senior coaching role

Dew on the other hand...would have been handy. Like his attitude.

[Booney]

Can come on at 4:30 with a new gold watch and tell the media scum to get some facts straight before they go off half cocked.

What? I can cope with your snide attempts at humour but do try and convey my posts accurately.

I said all along that this was more than likely a value proposition and negotiation with a tactic by Hinkley to get a bit more $$$ or an extra year.

[Brodlach]

Not just the media who went off half cocked

[Dutchy]

4 more years, nice get by Ken. Putting a heap of faith in him.

In what regard? Finished 5th, blooded a heaps of youth and before the beat a top 8 side bullshit rolls out in long term benefits Ken has done some great work for Port Adelaide in season 2017. Yes has flaws, who doesn't. Look at Longmire on the weekend.

I'd much rather follow Port Adelaide with our future looking a lot better than at least a dozen other clubs!

As stated Hinkley v's the names mentioned = Hinkley everyday of the week.

Port v Gold Coast Jesus may as well of been Port v Nth Pines. Hinkley certainly comes out the winner of the Gold Coast interest in a monitory value.

Attempts?

Anyway, stop updating your resume.

In regards that he had a lot riding on this year - if they missed finals he was gone.. 3yrs is a long time on top of his current 12 months still left to serve, what happens if it all goes pear shaped over the next 24 months? Suddenly he's sacked, you're paying him out and then forking out money for a new coach as well.

I think 3ys is too long, leaves too much room for comfort and complacency. 2yrs would've been ample.

ffs I get in the car at 430 to drive home...don't want to have to listen to catchphrases for the entire trip. Might flip the station.

[Brodlach]

Especially when all the talk at the beginning of the season was miss the finals and he is gone.

It's a massive gamble.

end of 2014 he was a Ruck away from winning the flag.
end of 2015 he was a key forward away from winning the flag.
end of 2016 when they get Ryder and Monfries back, winning the flag.
end of 2017, it's ok, he's blooding the kids. Give him a chance for the next 4 years!

C'mon mate he might even pull out a new catchphrase if you listen long enough!

[Jim05]

Win/win for Ken.
They keep improving and he is a genius or they don't win a final in the next two years and he gets the arse with a huge payout

So Kosh has cost his club a cupla hundred G's with his after game effort.

You know the Hinkley to GC rumours were around before that speech, right?

absolutely remarkable.

#fakenews

Of course, but the big panic pow wow on the weekend would have driven the price up from the offer that would have been on the table. One of Kens bargaining points would have been the disrespect from the boss if he was bargaining.

Utter nonsense.

The thing that drove up Ken's price was Gold Coast, not Koch.
