Ken Hinkley spotted in eye-opening move amid calls for Michael Voss' sacking
Despite all the pressure and focus being on Carlton coach Michael Voss on Thursday night, a very telling move from Port Adelaide counterpart Ken Hinkley didn't go unnoticed. Kane Cornes highlighted on Channel 7 that Hinkley appeared to have handed the reins to assistant coach Josh Carr, who was in charge for the game. Hinkley was seen sitting at the back of the coach's box, behind where he'd normally be sitting if he was pulling the strings. "It's unusual," Cornes said. "He's in the back row of the box and it looks like Josh Carr will be pulling the strings tonight. Just the way Carr is positioned in the box, it looks like Ken will have a more hands-off approach." Port had flagged in February that Carr would move into the head-coaching role at different times throughout the year, as part of his transition into the top role in 2026. Carr's official role is midfield coach this season, and there have been no official changes to match-day duties. But Port are easing his transition to head-coach by putting him in the hot seat periodically throughout 2025. The switch certainly didn't have any ill-effects, with the Power romping to a 16.14 (110) to 8.12 (60) victory that heaps even more pressure on Voss. Earlier this week, Buddy Franklin declared the Blues need to sack Voss immediately, and the calls have continued after Thursday night's 50-point hiding. "It looks like Josh Carr will be pulling the strings tonight."🗣️ Kane Cornes on Ken Hinkley sitting at the back of the Port Adelaide coaches' box | #AFLPowerBlues — 7AFL (@7AFL) June 26, 2025 The Blues slipped even further off the finals pace, managing just one goal in the first half. They hold 11th spot with six victories and nine losses, but by Sunday night they could be three wins outside the top eight. "Now, the answer starts to become about what we value," Voss said in his post-match press conference. "What you do find out a lot about is your character - your football team, football club, right now. And what connection is needed to be able to ensure that we do get that turnaround. "There is a way we need to be as a football club — and we're not that yet. There has been a lot of foundations laid on that, but clearly that hasn't fully turned to the standard that we want nor the results that we want." RELATED: West Coast make decision on controversial Nick Daicos move Ben Cousins goes public with powerful message after scare Fourth-year coach Voss is contracted until the end of next season, but his future remains clouded by the imminent arrival of new chief executive Graham Wright at season's end - a noted agent of change. Voss said there must be "collective accountability" for Carlton's failings. "There is no separating groups here," he said. "This is collective accountability. We'll look at it thoroughly and see where we need to correct. "The way through this - I said this last week - it's not to isolate, it's coming together. If there's one thing I know about working through really tough times, it's how we connect. What we won't do, what you will not see us do, is pass blame on anyone. "We'll sit here and we'll say, 'What's my role in this?' We'll get to work hard on that but we need everyone on board. What I feel right now as a leader is, I feel really disappointed for our people. We feel like we're creating a great environment but we're not getting the results we're after. We're enormously disappointed ... but it's time to come together, not isolate." with AAP

AFL 2025: Cyril Rioli absent from Hawthorn three-peat celebration, Buddy Franklin makes rare appearance
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Lance 'Buddy' Franklin made an appearance at Hawthorn's celebration of their 2013-2015 premiership three-peat on Friday night, but a fan favourite was absent from the anniversary function. Players from Hawthorn's most recent golden premiership era attended a commemorative function in Melbourne, with the club's premiership cups from 2013, 2014 and 2015 proudly on display. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo?

Franklin played in the 2008 and 2013 premierships with Hawthorn but missed out on the rest of the three-peat after he moved to the Sydney Swans, playing out the rest of his career there and losing three grand finals, including the 2014 decider to Hawthorn. The legendary goalkicker was in good spirits as he chatted to former Hawks spearhead Jarryd Roughead and the likes of Luke Hodge, Isaac Smith Sam Mitchell. Franklin, who is expecting his third child with wife Jesinta, didn't attend Hawthorn's 100-year club anniversary earlier this year. Jarryd Roughead, Buddy Franklin and Sam Mitchell. Photo: Instagram.

Franklin now co-hosts a podcast with Hawthorn champion and 2008 premiership teammate Shane Crawford. But not every player from Hawthorn's premiership three-peat could attend, and one notable absentee was legendary small forward Cyril Rioli. The 2015 Norm Smith Medallist was one of just six players to play in the three-peat and the 2008 flag, but his relationship with Hawthorn has soured over allegations of racism during his time at Hawthorn.

Rioli retired in 2018 after playing 189 games across a career that saw him win Goal of the Year in 2009 and named to the All Australian team on three occasions. Neither Rioli or former Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson, now the coach of North Melbourne, were at the three-peat function. One fan commented on social media: 'Someone missing', while a second said: 'Where's Cyril?' A third said: 'Cyril will never come back it's sad.' Another commented: 'I do miss Cyril hopefully under Mitchell he'll feel comfortable enough to come back.' Cyril Rioli won the Norm Smith Medal in 2015. (Photo by Michael Dodge/) In May, triple premiership captain Luke Hodge greeted Rioli at an AFL game in Darwin and stopped to chat to his old teammate in the crowd. 'I hadn't seen him since about 2018,' Hodge said. 'I saw Mark Evans (Gold Coast Suns CEO) talking to him so I just wanted to go over and say g'day. It was good. 'He's looking great and had a smile on his face. He said his cousin was flying out there running across the halfback line. It was great to see him and Shannyn over there.' Earlier this year, Hodge told Channel 7's Agenda Setters: 'We understand that Hawthorn and Cyril haven't come to the stage where Cyril feels comfortable back in the football club just yet. 'There's been a number of guys that have reached out to Cyril. And we left on really good terms. When he retired he sent me a message saying 'thanks for all the development and help'. I've had no issues with Cyril ever, but it's almost like he's parted ways with everyone there. Even a lot of the mentors in that forward line (at the time he played) haven't been able to connect with him either.' Hawthorn's four-time premiership players: (L-R) Cyril Rioli, Jordan Lewis, Sam Mitchell, Jarryd Roughead, Grant Birchall and Luke Hodge. Hawthorn have won premierships in every decade since the 1960s and now as the team's coach, Mitchell will he hoping that streak can continue in the 2020s. Jordan Lewis, who missed the event due to commentary duties with Fox Footy, said Hawthorn's dominant premiership teams were defined by their 'competitiveness'. 'You need the game plan, you need to be fit and healthy and everything to go right, but if you're not competitive, you can't sustain that long period of success,' Lewis told 'Players recognise that when they've been successful for one year and find it really hard to back it up. Then you really appreciate how good those teams that were able to stay at the top of their game and win multiple premierships in a row.' The Hawks are fifth on the ladder — they have the bye this weekend and take on North Melbourne in round 16. Originally published as Hawthorn icon absent from club's premiership three-peat celebration
