Hinkley's last game against Carlton as a senior coach.
He can start work early on his new job. ;)

Yeah that's the rumour now that Lloyd's gone.
Wright is stepping things up.

Hinkley looks cooked, much like Brad Lloyd, they both look like they need a holiday.

He might do a Dimma in a year or two, but it could go the other way also.

Agree...Nice bloke is Ken but yesterday's news in terms of coaching and I think he is best suited to any other role other than senior coaching.

I think he would do ok as a Head of Football but would be better at another club rather than reconnecting with his old mate Voss.
Id prefer some fresh ideas from someone different rather than the "Port Adelaide model" being reheated..
Bartel would be better imo and the rumour is they offered the job and big money to Danny Daly from Brisbane but he wants to be a senior coach and thats probably unfair to Voss to have a coach in waiting at the club. From that point of view Id prefer Bartel and even Hinkley just to give Voss some breathing space...

I think Hinkley is probably about as good as we can get.

Has an existing relationship with Voss.
Has more experience than you will likely find.
Is not 'out of date' having been coaching currently.
Is not a yes man and will call a spade a spade......something we at Carlton don't like hearing, but NEED to hear more often.

Whats not to like?

Yes, Ken has an astute footy brain and has learnt not to take himself too seriously.

He has a good rapport with Vossy and would make an excellent sounding board.  Like LP, I do have reservations about his willingness to take on a draining, full-time role at this time.  Wright wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't ask.

Hinkley has a good relationship record with players and being able to retain them so I guess football managing should suit him.
I wouldnt want him in any coaching role though as his finals record isnt great and Port have been under achievers imo.

Master of ball movement apparently and given how we tend to struggle with it often, he'd be a welcomed addition if he could help out with that. Word is that is he wants to take time off with this family so it would seem that we wont be seeing Kenny in clubland  next year.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Hinkley should be good - Voss will always see Hinkley as a Boss which might help him.
