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:

    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

    Carr will take over by round 10

    It might be earlier than round 10 at this rate....

    • 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.
