Taken average sides to two GF's within a couple of years, I've seen a lot worse.

Because they will then go and win a game that they shouldn't get near.

For mine he needs to work out whether they attack or defend, he has too many different game plans going on.

I'll give you Freo, but I wouldn't classify that St. Kilda team as average.

I don't think he's significantly underachieved anywhere. I just struggle to understand how he's gotten this many contracts given the cut-throat nature of coaching in the AFL. Much like our old friend Kenny, he's a survivor without the runs on the board that you would expect for someone who's held head coaching positions for so long.

Beaten twice at the Saints, once by the luckiest toe poke in GF history (2009) then the following year beaten by the unluckiest bounce in GF history. And when he took the Dockers to the GF, if they’d kicked straight they would’ve beaten Hawthorn in 2013.

Yeah, I'll accept your judgement, they probably just under-achieved in 07 when they missed the finals.They rapidly declined once he left, perhaps that's why he got a second chance there.

At the end of the day there is only 1 successful coach each year and 17 unsuccessful ones.

Agree with all of this and it's why I don't think Hinkley will get another Senior Coaches role but will certainly be involved over seeing a program in the future.
