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.

    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 

     

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
