I must admit it surprised me as he comes across as a placid type of bloke but gee he really fired em up...
Another reason hinkley could be a good fit is he bringing over to punt road geelongs intellectual property...
For me Hardwick or Hinkley are my 2 preferred then Richardson and jade well at 31 he's still a few years away....

A wise old motivational speaker once said "if you try to motivate an idiot, you do not make the person a success, what you have is a motivated idiot!"
We need to have some good skilled footballers first and then Ken would do well, our challenge is getting the good players.

Nah, he borrowed a lot of that from Danny Frawley: "We've done all we can to get you boys cherry ripe, but now you've got to give us the chocolates..."
Thanks for that Tuty - been lucky enough to have Allan Jeans address us like that for a Grand Final - yep stirring stuff.

These are the moments when Ken Hinkley's AFL coaching dream took flight.
In his last address as a local football senior coach, Hinkley's three-quarter time rev-up got Bell Park over the line against St Mary's in the 2003 Geelong Football League Grand Final replay, at Skilled Stadium.
To the Bell Park players, and the hundred or so fans who gathered around the huddle, this vision still stands hairs on the backs of their necks.
The Dragons led by 34 points at the last change and triumphed by 19 in the club's first premiership win in 12 years.
For Hinkley, the Grand Final victory stamped his card as a local football coaching mastermind.
It was his third country footy premiership in four years and enough for the Cats to make him their forward coach for the following season.
One of Hinkley’s tricks the week before was to get his troops to sing the club song minutes after the tied epic.
Now, after almost six years as an assistant coach at the Cattery, where he has played a crucial role in their recent success, the 42-year-old is down to the final four in the Richmond coaching race.
Hinkley, the dual All-Australian who played 132 AFL games as an attacking half-back, comes with the highest recommendation from Geelong officials.
In about a week or so, the Tigers will make one of the most important decision in the club's recent history when they decide between him, Damien Hardwick, Alan Richardson and Jade Rawlings.
This is only a brief snippet of what Hinkley may bring to the table.
I reckon its worth noting that his side went into the 3 quarter time break up by 34 and only won by 19 points.
They won the game but lost the quarter after the rev up....
I still think its a good speech though.
