Damian Barrett has put forward a second time coach who “would be an option” to replace Ken Hinkley if he moves on from Port Adelaide.
“I’m not death riding Ken Hinkley… but the moment will come at some stage,” Damo said on the Midweek Rub.
Hinkley is under pressure after a string of recent poor results, including most recently a 79 point home thrashing at the hands of Brisbane in the club’s 20th anniversary of the 2004 flag win.
MORE FROM THE MIDWEEK RUB:
Daisy Thomas agreed with Damo’s assessment, underling that returning coaches have proven to be more well-rounded.
“I think we’ve seen that coaches the second time around… you learn,” he said.
“You learn a lot from what you did right, but probably more so what you’ve done wrong through the past.
“Port Adelaide’s got a very nice list as well… it’s not as if you’re picking up and starting from fresh.“
