Port Adelaide ’s finals-contending status is in jeopardy as Ken Hinkley ’s Alberton future “hangs by a thread” with a critical month of fixtures upcoming.
“They were the biggest disappointment of the weekend, and it’s fair, what’s going to come their way,” Fox Footy analyst Leigh Montagna began on Fox Footy’s“When you go chips-in with recruits, and you say you want to improve, and you think you can go to the next level when you’ve got to the point where you’ve given up your first-round draft pick coming into the draft at the end of the year, you can understand why the fans are getting disgruntled.
“I’ve said this a few times, we’re not one of the best teams in the competition, we sit below that — everyone agrees,” Hinkley said after the Power’s demoralising loss. “He thinks he’s got a terrific list that should have improved on where they were last year, so that leaves the big question: if it’s not the list, what is it?“It can only be two things — if it’s not your playing list, it’s either your system and your gameplan, or you’re not maximising the talent that you have on the list. And that, unfortunately, lies fairly and squarely on the coach.
“ no doubt that this next four-week period is the most important of his coaching career,” he declared. Port Adelaide’s next month comprises match-ups against St Kilda , the Western Bulldogs , Gold Coast and Richmond .
