What’s the story about not allowing members go to the Best and Fairest night?

They are scared they will boo the shit out of Ken

very lucky for them Boak is retiring

[MW]

Yeah too risky with fans/members fed up with Hinkley, Davies, Koch, Tredrea, etc

Someone somewhere will be offended no doubt!

Hearing since, a group of supporters made an absolute disgrace of themselves last year.

Been happening since 1870

Port really cocked up this succession plan thing, hey?

Yeah, they couldn't have f*cked it up any more!

Wanna bet?

Outgoing Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley will receive a cash bonus somewhere near the $400,000 mark as he ends his 13-year stay at the club.

7NEWS chief AFL reporter Mitch Cleary has exclusive details of the backdated payout, which is from money owed to Hinkley dating back to the COVID period of 2020 and 2021.

Cleary also said on Seven’s The Agenda Setters that the $400K will come out of the club’s soft cap (the amount of money an AFL club can spend on its football department) next year.

What a complete shit show.

They’re really are going to have to “compare the market” to find assistants for Carr next year….

[dedja]

Every current SANFL League coach will be an assistant to Carr next year … allegedly

[saintal]

The glazing of Ken Hinkley by the media needs to be studied.

The lack of scrutiny since 2015 has been staggering at times. Whately still has a 'Kenny' poster in his bedroom from the Geelong days.

How long will it take for the stench of Kenny to dissipate from Alberton?

What is Kenny’s legacy from his tenure?

If there's a stench it's in the board room that kept appointing him not in the coaches office. He kept doing his job and when he needed to show he was the man for it he kept getting the job done and getting his side into finals.

His legacy? The club is in a much better place than it was when he arrived.

They were in some pretty dire times before he came

Yep!

If he retired last year you 400% say 'he left the place in better shape than when he got there'. Obviously, this year has put a bit of a dampener on that but still think he can hold his head high and say it.

Not many coaches can say that about their jobs.

When GFG went tits up earlier this year we had Santos and KFC step up to cover the shortfall.

In 2013 when he took over if the same thing had happened to VIP Services we would have shut the doors.

The Adelaide Oval stuff was already locked in prior to Kenny taking over. They were much more competitive in 2013 and 2014, but how much of that was Kenny versus natural improvement (and younger blokes having been given experience under Primus, starting to come good)?

Given his good but not great tenure (7 finals series out of 13 seasons but not GFs, poor record in big games etc.) I suspect he just took over the club when the playing list was 'on the up'. 12 wins in 2013 v 5 in 2012 is not insignificant, but then again they reverted to the mean pretty quick.

[Brodlach]

Would Mark Williams go back to Port after not being offered a new contract at Melbourne?

[DOC]

I think that is unlikely . They are actively seeking out two current SANFL head coaches who are much younger.

Not sure if they want both or either.

KEN HINKLEY, who is "staggered" he lasted so long as Port Adelaide coach, knows what his legacy is.

"Didn't make a Grand Final, didn't win one," Hinkley told reporters on Wednesday.
