Well, the AFL was established from the VFL and not the SANFL.

Port was established from a club in the SANFL, duh
Josh seems to have good footy knowledge
The only unanswered question which cannot be answered as no one knows the inner workings of port this year
Was, were the reins handed over to Josh this year and was he partly responsible for decisions this year which may not be a good answer for how good Josh will be as a coach as the decisions this year were not good at all
With port knowing early that Ken was gone it would have been logical to hand a fair bit of decision making to Josh whilst Ken was still there
But then again who uses logic

I'm not expecting a whole lot. There has been a s**t load of coaching changes and know one knows how the players will react.
Player wise, we should see an improvement in our depth as we effectively cut out the no hoppers and brought in role players.
The fixture next year should ease a bit, so we are a good chance to at least make the wild card rounds.

it’s clear as day that butters is leaving they should have just bit the bullet and traded him this year while he was contracted, there top 6 players are elite then they fall away massively very lopsided list they are probably good enough to stay mid table which is probably no a great thing with compromised drafts on the way
If only Port had some very highly rated father-son and NGA options coming through in the next couple of years...
He's just emphasising that we need to get the real Port Adelaide back after 13 years of the Handbag era loser stinking out the joint.
Yeah, because we can’t have history AND current success, right? It’s impossible.

Most likely they go backwards before they go forwards. Hope im wrong, I like Port, the supporters are crazier that we are, in a good way.
VICBias and BIGBias mean they may get shafted over f/s reforms, but Carlton have some f/s coming through and they do have clout, Port might sneak a few through under a blue wing.

We were supposedly doomed last decade when bottom of the heap and GWS/GC coming into the comp.
You just have to make do with what you get. The relative youth of the squad (Aliir, Wines and Byrne/Jones the only players over 27) and the F/S and NGA crop coming through during these next 2/3 drafts should hold us in good stead.
Cochrane being ruled eligible for an academy selection should help and he'll love playing under Carr. The list isn't as bad as people think and could surge up the ladder next year similar to Collingwood in McRae's first year.

Port Power as with all South Australian teams simply don't won premierships

No
Very odd thread and question to be putting out before he’s even coached a game. No one has any idea how he will perform and the team will perform under Carr. Exactly the same as any other new coach when they come on board. What we do know is that Hinkley couldn’t and change was desperately needed.
Why don’t we have this question asked of every new coach? Simple answer is that this thread has only been created to be intentionally antagonistic.

Probably because Ken was announced to be leaving prior to year end and Josh was there and undoubtedly taking a fair bit of control
It’s just common sense that he would have been slowly taking over the reins
No club would be stupid enough not to orchestrate that
Except for a club that was stupid enough to announce a succession plan before the season had even started.
Considering there was no changes to structure, game plan or positions, I’d say any control he was being handed over was extremely minimal outside of fronting a few press conferences.

Common sense wouldn’t
Given the amount of turnover of football staff and the pace it happened post season with some very good (on the surface appointments), the succession plan has allowed Carr to
- spend his 2025 season evaluating how he would coach strategy and tactic wise with the squad he has, and
- just as importantly to be able to approach people he wanted in support with the pull of a head coach position and with a whole year to work it out.

Port will win the world cup.
At least Port Adelaide are in the AFL things could be worse. Imagine being South Adelaide or Glenelg.
