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?

Yeah pretty much all my Demonland imported quotes and articles are blank for me but I blame my phone.  Works fine on laptop

    I've now read the article on the Port website. Why do people churlishly assume from what's been made public that Hinkley is being moved on by Port? That analysis doesn't make sense to me. Surely, if Port wanted Hinkley gone, they would have done that before the end of 2024. I think it far more likely to be exactly what Port says it is: a well organised succession plan. I hope it works. The AFL world would be a much better place if most clubs organised succession plans the way Port seems to have done in this instance. It's much better than radical overhauls where a new coach comes in and dumps the former assistants.

    I liked Hinkers, good everyman kind of coach.

    I don't think they will be winning it this year, finals maybe.

    I agree. I think his list has some serious holes which he tried to plug but overall made the best of it. And he was not anodyne like some. Very much heart on his sleeve which I like.

    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

    Neale Daniher made a GF ... 2000.

    Port need to stand by Ken for the full season regardless of results. I think it’s smart play. They move Ken on who’s clearly had his opportunity and they get to quell the noise if Port struggle this year. 

    “We have a succession plan in place and we’re standing by Ken until his contract is up”

    More trouble for Port with the collapse of their major sponsor GFG:

    https://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au/affiliates/kayo/millionaire-sanjeev-gupta-pulls-rug-out-under-david-koch-as-port-order-new-guernseys-to-ditch-gfg-logo/news-story/1f0b3e956f759de1c9c7b19e037bc990

     

    The newspaper headline says: 

    "Millionaire Sanjeev Gupta pulls rug out from under David Koch over Port order new guernseys to ditch GFG logo". Err, what?

    Hope they have a succession plan for their major sponsors.

    It's a Twitter/X issue. Happens every now and then.

    Also can occur if you use Ad Blockers on this website which you should definitely not do.

    Hopefully Port are able to find a new major sponsor soon enough. 
     

    Not so long ago it was us that had to deal with the EnergyWatch debacle.

    No point getting new ones when they already have several for each player, they will just heat press over it with a new sponsor or plain black and white

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
