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

Put a fork in them.

Carr will take over by round 10

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

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….

Mmmm, buttered lamb.  I'd like some of that, please.

Here you go, then.

Was the meal buttered lamb?  It was buttered lamb, wasn't it!

we really should. not only that, we should let the media know we are doing it - its what everyone else does


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?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
