‘I did meet with them two weeks ago’: Hinkley ducks and weaves on coaching Tasmania question
Ken Hinkley says he’s “not committed to doing any coaching jobs” after the experienced AFL coach was named as the new favourite to take the reins at Tasmania – the league’s latest expansion club which is slated to play its first match in less than two years.
Long-time Port Adelaide coach Hinkley, who achieved close to a 60 per cent winning record across 13 AFL seasons, confirmed he’d recently met with Tasmania Devils chief executive Brendon Gale.
But 59-year-old Hinkley said his discussions with Tasmania were focused on providing advice to a start-up operation.
“I didn’t meet with Tassie last week. I did meet with them two weeks ago,” Hinkley said after he was named on Channel Seven’s Agenda Setters as the new favourite – ahead of Nathan Buckley – to be Tasmania’s inaugural senior coach.
