Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley says speculation linking him to the vacant GWS coaching job is unfounded.

Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley would like to turn the tables on AFL commentators linking him with the vacant GWS head coaching job.

"I dismiss it," Hinkley told reporters on Wednesday of the speculation.

"I don't take any notice of it because I'm committed to Port Adelaide and I have got a job to do at Port Adelaide.

"This happens all the time, speculation just comes from nowhere and a lot of it, unfounded speculation.

"I should be able to have a reverse press conference sometimes and question some of the people who put some of those things out."

The Giants are searching for a new head coach after the resignation of Leon Cameron in mid-May.

Hinkley, in his 10th season at Port, said it won't be him.

"Even talking about it, I am wasting my time," he said.

"I am not interested in it.

"It's not something we have talked about in any way, shape or form.

"I am coaching Port Adelaide and that is my biggest challenge today, to make sure we're ready for tomorrow night's game."

The Power meet Richmond at the MCG on Thursday night.
