Hence we needed an outsider with a top reputation as head coach. Carr as a player had all the attributes I love. Carr as a coach will need all these plus more.

The Cats cult of Hinkley. Someone needs to suggest to Jimmy on live TV that we swap coaches. His reaction would be priceless.

Port Adelaide coach-in-waiting Josh Carr is steadfast his role under Ken Hinkley remains clear despite the club copping a hammering for their round-one capitulation.
Carr will take over from Hinkley as the Power’s head coach at the end of a season that started with a horror 91-point loss to Collingwood.
The largest defeat in Hinkley’s 13 seasons in charge prompted some critics to question Port’s coaching succession plan announced last month.
But long-time assistant coach Carr points out: imagine the commentary if the plan hadn’t been detailed.
“You can look at all aspects of that and think about if it’s not announced, what that looks like, and what it has been in previous years,” Carr told reporters on Friday.
“I have probably been asked a lot more questions in previous years than what I have been asked this year so there’s always a distraction, no matter what.

Mind you, any media person who says/writes anything negative about our beloved coach, that person will more than likely receive a nasty phone call.

I really don’t think we’ll lose to Richmond, but on the off chance we do, I think Ken stays. It’d mean Richmond would be 2-0 and the narrative would shift to “maybe Richmond are good, and we’ve got a long way to go to be like them”, and even if they went on to finish the year 2-21 we still wouldn’t take action so long as we finish above 15th.

He does, absolutely.
He is a Cockroach, see the Alien from the first Men in Black movie!
lol - so it's OK defacing club property with a sticker now as long as it's spruiking new gaming machines.
Boak has been good for port grant him that, but this clubs vision and management is pathetic, he should be phased out to allow young talent to develop. This club is all about self indulgence not about success.

Just another dynastic team that rebuilt while Hinkley is sitting on the beach earning 20%.
Really speaks volumes about Hinkley.
Cornes has been one of his biggest and most local supports across the years.
The second that changes Hinkley labels Cornes as unqualified to have an opinion.
Think of the worst trade in all of sports history then x it by 2

I heard supervised visits only for Hinkley.
Boak may break the games played record but Russell had more football ability in his big toe than Boak has in his whole body.
I really hope they don't start making comparisons in their footy skills because Boak would not get a game in a real Port Adelaide side the way he fumbled the ball his whole career.

Stuff him - as soon as he leaves, I'd be changing the locks so he can't come back.
“Dare to the Different," aims for the club to win seven AFL premierships between 2018 and 2050, with a goal of two premierships by the end of 2022,
Port Adelaide, as part of their "Chasing Greatness" vision, set a goal of winning three AFL premierships between 2021 and 2025
Ken has been a big part of not achieving these “goals”.

To be fair, we have definitely dared to be different:
- Making finals is good enough
- We strive to be everyone's friend
- No other coach has been at the same club without reaching a grand final

At the AGM Richardson basically said these were aspirational goals "what would a really successful 5 years look like" that they sold rather than actual goals that they will judge themselves on (not) achieving.
Chasing Greatness was a sham.

He’s never understood what makes the club tick.
I still can’t believe he was given any job with the Power after his visionless self-sabotage while CEO of the PAMFC.
Shouldn’t be allowed within 500 yards of Alberton Oval, let alone collecting a wage for 15+ years in various roles since.

No other coach in V/AFL history has coached as many games in their career without making a Grand Final let alone remained at the same club. Bill Stephen who previously held the record coached at two clubs, Fitzroy (3 separate stints) and Essendon. The magnitude of Kenny Hinkley's record shouldn't be downplayed.
The Ken Curse is that he's been good enough without being great. He's had us beat up on lower ranked teams, but we've also shat the bed many times in big games. If our finishes were worse we'd have picked up a better draft haul and he probably would have been sacked, and if we were better we would have made a GF and maybe snagged a premiership. It's meh as far as how history judges success, but pretty great if you look at the club as a business. We are kind of respected but not feared.
At the end of the day, any blame for this can only be laid at the club's feet. We don't expect players to walk away from a contract, and we certainly wouldn't blame them for accepting an offer. The same standard should apply to the coach.
