Fans React to Ken Hinkley's Announcement | DEVILS DEN

👹The wilderness years are officially over. The Tasmania Football Club has its inaugural head coach, and the green, gold, and red has landed an absolute giant of the game in Ken Hinkley! In this special emergency edition of The Devil's Den, JD and Freddy break down the massive breaking news. Freddy was live on the ground at the official press conference by the lily pond, rubbing shoulders with the powerhouse Melbourne media and catching the vibe as "Kenny" walked down the hill wearing the Devils kit. Is a 5-year deal the right fit? Can a guy who hasn't won a flag build a culture that can run through brick walls? We dive deep into his credentials—from his time navigating the inaugural Gold Coast Suns setup to pulling Port Adelaide out of the doldrums and into preliminary finals. Plus, we talk about his hilarious press conference jabs at GWS and why his deep roots in community football make him the ultimate savior for Tassie footy. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS & TALKING POINTS00:26 - Emergency Stations: Tassie officially has a coach!01:45 - Freddy Live at the Lily Pond: Rubbing shoulders with John Ralph and the media buzz.03:40 - The Million-Dollar Grin: Ken walks down the hill in the official Devils kit.05:03 - The Credentials: Gold Coast mistakes, Port Adelaide doldrums, and proving the doubters wrong.06:51 - The 5-Year Contract: Breaking down the timeline and when he officially starts the work.08:36 - Turning Weaknesses Into Strengths: Ken's brilliant response to GWS and embracing the Southern Outlet.11:26 - Running Through Brick Walls: Building a team of elite character, families, and culture.13:08 - Building the Panel: Who joins the coaching staff?13:42 - Freddy's Wishlist: The Travis Boak angle and high-performance targets.15:42 - JD's Tassie Flavor: Rewarding Jeremy Weberley and bringing home Zane Littlejohn & Justin Platt. 💬 HAVE YOUR SAY, DEVILS FANS!This is a historic moment for our state, and we want to hear from the community.Do you reckon Ken Hinckley is the perfect choice to build our club from scratch?
