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

    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.

    Confirmed lame duck. Port to fall in 2025

    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.

    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 

     

    things are a bit slower in Enfield….

    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?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
