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.

Oh god from one pack of booers to another. 
Bring your earplugs Ken.

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

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
