Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley says latest finals failure is not just on him

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.

Hinkley now has won just six finals from 15 attempts.

Rubbing more salt into the wound, Hinkley holds the unwanted record as the VFL/AFL coach with most games coached without reaching a grand final.
