Adam Simpson would be a far better option. 

Agree, I'd take Simmo anyway over Ken.

The first bit is definitely spot on.

But his midfield has had Wines and Drew for a while. Neither fit the skills over toughness review 

And Butterrs is as tough as you get.

I'd put him in the skills over toughness category personally.

Of course he’s not picking purely runners in the midfield.

Its the game style. Over reliance on uncontested possession from half back and flicking it around in the middle. And then they bomb inside 50 anyway.

Chris Scott broke it down.

At the moment Luke Beveridge is on the fast track to being our new midfield coach, too.

We'll see if he can recover in the fourth.

Is this the Ken Hinkley that was booed off by Port fans this season? Just asking.

And the witches hats last night, wow what a great culture.

QD wasn't suggesting that he be the coach.

I had assumed this thread was satire after the original post but now I'm not sure...

Is it better or worse than the Stringer thread?

If only we had a satire icon.

I'll put it this way, the appalled responses in the Stringer thread restored my faith in the club's culture!

Fantastic idea. Incredible record at Port Adelaide Power as head coach, maybe he could be president? 

I think Emperor has a nicer ring to it

Ah yes of course, I missed the first thread response giveaway!!

Ken is too nice. I think that’s the problem with Richo too. We need a hard liner in the role to balance out Goodwin IMO.

Or maybe just get a new coach

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
