Under-pressure Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley has called on the narrative around his finals failures to “stop”, but understands why he cops the brunt of criticism. Hinkley, in his 12th season at the helm, has experienced another post-season flop after the Power fell to a six-goal loss in Friday night’s lopsided preliminary final. It’s the fourth time Port have tasted the bitter disappointment of preliminary final losses under Hinkley after defeats in 2014, 2020 and 2021.
After the demoralising loss to Geelong in the qualifying final, fans plastered “Hinkley OUT” signs all over Power headquarters. Hinkley has learnt to cope with it. “I’ve had great support from family particularly, but also from my footy club, and we stick at it,” he said. “We understand the storylines we go with my position, and it’s part of the job. I’m OK with that, I can deal with that.
