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.

    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?

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
