carr formally being anoiinted as successor, beginning as senior coach in 2026

i think hinkley will be looked back on by pear supporters as neale daniher was for us - he's achieved everything except for making a grand final, and united the club

    Really happy to see Hinkley go. he was behind Poor Adelaide constantly attacking gawn for years.

    Glad he finishes so unsuccessfully.

    Not quite yet this season may be his time at last. You never know.

    A pre-emptive sacking so the year isn't filled with will they, won't they stories.

    Nothing wrong with this at all. You do what you can do get under the skin of the opposition's best player.

    Bernie Vince was our go to person for this and our very own supporters were absolutely fine with this.

    Works both ways.

    Ken did rate Gawn the most valuable player in the league.

    Time to target one of their stars

    I don't know about that.  Surely they'd be trying to impress the future coach this season.

    Added:  What would be their reason for leaving anyway?  Loyalty to Kenny?

    butters was very clear that one of the reasons he signed up long-term with the pear was because of loyalty towards ken

    go get him, tim lamb

    Incredible that even when Port's admin finally worked up the courage to give Hinkley the boot they still made a meal of it.

    It’s only taken them 3 years to announce this

    What are they thinking?

    You shouldn't do a last minute succession plan ever but certainly not when you are in contention. Port have won 17 and 16 games in the past 2 years. If Ken isn't the man to win you a flag then sack him

    Succession plans have only worked twice and both times involved Paul Roos.  

    This has disaster written all over it.

    Ken agreed to this about as much as Malthouse did I reckon. Either be sacked now or agree to the succession plan, what's your choice?

    Careful, Mr Stone; you're getting dangerously close to a NoT$NoB$ishness. And I know how you feel about that! 😄

    Or, don't bother actually doing it but tell the media we are.

    Would you prefer to cop it from Kenny’s Carr Or Horse’s Cox?

    Let’s see how these 2 handovers play out….

    Dangerous pun territory.

    As a matter of interest, Demonland's opening post is coming up blank on my screen. Is anyone else having the same problem?

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
