Caro says Carr was very much in support of Ken’s new contract



I read that as Blucher (or someone else from Hinkley's team) seeding the ground for the post 2025 contract by undermining his main competitor.

It seems reasonably clear that Wilson has been a direct conduit for Hinkley's team's propaganda from the start.

Yeah but only because we keep signing him… she’s like that with most stories.
 
Dunno about the first sentence.
The second sentence is definitely true.

Thus current team is actually quite young. With a few pieces in place (a lockdown defender and a dominant ruck) Josh might think he'll inherit this team at the right time. It's a gamble to stay or leave

I have thought the same thing. There seems to be a bit of a ‘changing of the guard' going on. Jonas, except when injury strikes, seems to be out of the 22, Boak isn’t an automatic selection these days, Lycett on his last legs, and a lot of younger players are getting some games. It looks as if there is an element of trying to get a look at players to decide the makeup of the team going forward.

In terms of family stability, career progression and future negotiations Josh Carr is a tactical genius. It was only a year ago that JC returned with a wife who was very happy to be back in Adelaide and four kids - so packing up a house and moving again wouldn't have been the most attractive choice. JC has very cleverly agreed to commit to Port (with a midfield that is every midfield coaches wet dream) and a public acknowledgment from the current coach, Head of Footy and President that he will be a head coach in the future. Whatever happens at Port he'll be in plain sight as a first choice for another club. He's on a promise that he's gauranteed two more years as midfield coach and then he gets his opportunity at Port - noone has that sort of assurity in the AFL system unless its a publicly stated handover. If it's true that Chris Davies has convinced him to stay he's now in a world where he knows his kids can stay at the same school, he has job security and the progression he was hoping for. He orchestrted it all in his first year back at the club. Well played.

The big question is Josh Carr going to maintain integrity, tactics, skills and nous or join the daisy chain.

Yup - Stability

Very logical, sensible, responsible and practical.



Perhaps now we can be lethal, unpredictable, disrespectful, successful.

Or is that not allowed at Port Power?

Settle petal. I said family stability.

I also said career progression.

Josh has played this well.
