Who is the best available senior coach?

[ledge]

To be fair if it happened Tom Morris would be first to report it with a smile.

[azabob]

Ah…. Tom Browne is not even in the media anymore.

A blow to all fans. There was nothing better than see him royally stuff up. I've missed it.

Buckley would certainly bring a different flavour to the table compared to what the boys are used to.

Yeah but that's like swapping in shit sandwiches for something that's a tiny bit more palatable than shit sandwiches.

System coach needed, someone who's done it for years. Dean Cox to the front of the list, love the way Sydney play, very exciting to watch.

If we could pry Josh Carr outta Port that would be hilarious.

I'd consider Hansen back considering his now down stints at a few different teams.

No one who's coached before, no to Bucks, Dew or any other old-head.

A premiership, grand final and regular finals contention.

Richmond losing their premiership coach hasn't resulted in improvement.

Hawthorn getting rid of their premiership coach didn't help them.

Nor did Collingwood going for Buckley and dumping theirs the year he got them to the grand final (Malthouse)

None of those listed look like a better option than what we have. Would not take any of them.

It amazes me that Bevo is the only coach under pressure when you look at Ken Hinkley?s record. Hinkley currently holds the VFL/AFL record for the most games coached at one club without making a grand final. He has been the coach for over 250 games (since 2013) and only made it as far as a prelim final. (Remembering Port went out in straight sets last year). Yet the pressure is solely on Bevo. Bevo?s win-loss stats are 144-106. Hinkley?s 152-102. Very similar. The main difference is Bevo has taken his team to 2 Grand Finals (as we know 1-1). Hinkley has got to a prelim. I get that we have a great list and are underperforming. But what have Port accomplished?

Why we even care about Port and Hinkley or past records.
The main difference Bevo’s record is going backwards whilst Hinkley has port 4-1 and 3rd.

Port have a lot of positive stories at the moment. Butters, Rozee and Horne-Francis look like like a formidable midfield and they addressed their defensive needs with trades in the last trade period. They're falling a bit short of expectations but they've proven to be competitive most years.

Yes. Agree. But Ken?s in his 12th season and they have never made a GF.

In 11 completed seasons they have missed the finals 5 times. Five finals won. Eight finals losses.

Has Kane ever gone after Hinkley?

[angelopetraglia]

In fact, in a few games time, Ken Hinkley will pass Bill Stephen for coaching the most ever AFL/VFL games without a GF appearance.

[angelopetraglia]

Terry Wallace is 3rd on the list and Brad Scott is 4th on the list. Most games coached without a GF appearance.

Even by random chance, you should make a GF every nine years. So to coach 10+ years without a GF appearance and keep your job means you are a good politician.

4-1 and third means nothing if you don’t make the grand final. The reason for the comparison is the fact that we have played in two grand finals in Bevo’s term at the club. Name another coach in your lifetime that has that record at the Western Bulldogs?

Again past records. ATM port look capable of playing in a gf and we don’t. I bet most port fans will settle for a prelim if they don’t make a gf. He’ll probably walk anyway.

Ken is probably on his last chance for failing in September.

Bevos time is up for me.
