Ken Hinkley

So there's no need to hasten a decision if...

the group responds like that, if he still has the group and he's still able to prompt something, then there's no need to rush.

There's this desperation to get to the end, which was starting to look inevitable.

So can that be consistent?

I know that he's insulated himself from the outside conversation.

So he's largely oblivious to the idea that it's when, not if.

And he has had a really stoic mindset around, I'm not coaching for my job.

And he was asked that question again at the end last night.

He's been firm on that from before the season started.

through to now is he has identified the clear purpose of what he's coaching for and the second half was proof of that he demanded probably as forcefully as he ever has a response at half time and for whatever reason it got through and he got it

So you can't do anything, Kane, unless your best players perform.

You just can't.

So how do you rationalise Harry Mackay's second half against what he's been doing?

The coach always knows his team better than we do from the outside.

So I preface this remark.

Kenny, I've never understood the reticence to put him in the ruck as the second ruckman under the Joe Danaher rule.

And it just looked like it unlocked him again last night.

Get him up, getting him into it.

And then when he goes back to the forward line, he's ready to compete.

He's ready to take those marks.
