58% win percentage. 7th best of current day coaches. 3 finals series in 5 years, perhaps 4 in 6 this year.

Who do you suggest replaces him?


You can have a 99% win percentage but if you can’t win finals it’s pointless making them.


Who told you about finals?


Adam Simpson did after his team knocked you out of the finals last year.

Useless stat, but;

Obviously a 99% win rate is impossible, but since the competition went national - 5 sides have managed a minor round win rate of 90% or above. Only 2 have managed to win the premiership.

Agreed silly stat.
Winning finals, not the gf, was the comment I referred to.

That's the one that's been rammed down the crowies throats for the past 20 years!

Seems only fair to apply the same assessment to Ken's tenure ;)

Stats are easy to roll out, but look at the talent he has had at his disposal and yet to deliver. Similar to Mark Williams, he got one flag but should have delivered at least 2.

Hinkleys Port isn't in the same ballpark as Choco's Port. I think mid table semi regular finalists is about right. Expecting them to win flags on the back of a prelim years ago is the stuff of wishful thinking. Choco should have gotten one more flag but there was this team called the Lions on the scene who if you recall were a bit good. The Power should have made maybe one more granny for sure though.

Not making the Grand Final in 2003 is inexcusable. Still irks me to this day.

Thank god its not Hinkley out and Ratten in. ;)
I cant imagine Hinkley going for this, not the smartest move putting someone in as your assistant who is more than capable of taking your reigns. But that would imply Hinkley is smart, there is a body of work over the last 4 or 5 years that is contrary to this

Trengove and Thomas in same situation, but they at least played last week, would have thought that Gray plays somewhere this weekend otherwise thats 2 weeks without footy. So unless there is a real doubt on someone Id say Gray plays SANFL and one of the others is the AFL emergency.

Gray will be at the back in Park 10 practicing kicking goals from 10m out.

Just saw part of the Hinkley press conference, does he realise there was over 2 minutes remaining after ’postgate’? Wasn’t the last kick of the day
