Hinkley - Coach of the Year

[Wes Mantooth]

Thank goodness for that. For him to not be recognised this year would have been a crime.
Just a shame that the rest of the coaching staff could be recognised in the same way because he didn't do it all by himself.

Having said that, pretty proud of our head coach.

The man is genius, turned you guys around big time. What a year Hinkley! What a year Port! :)

He got it did he? usually it goes to the premiership coach, announced before the final? ???

Deserved if it is true! Wowee what a turn around, paying attention Melbourne?

He did a fantastic job with the club, really turned it around. Well done Ken and well done Port!

[Ringo]

Hinkley deserved it and would have been a shame to miss out. Port picked up a great coach and imo Hinklet is one of the main reasons why the coast youngsters are so advanced compared to GWS.
