The difference is that Ken is out of contract at the end of this season. In previous years they have had to weigh up the pros and cons of getting rid of Ken and hammering their soft cap expenditure or keep Ken and be thereabouts without truly contending.

They also haven't had an obvious replacement lined up as a successor.

The Club are going to have to ask themselves a lot of questions surrounding Ken's future and what that looks like with this playing group. It's not a straight forward clear cut process. If they think Carr is senior coach material they have some difficult decisions to be made.

If I were in a position of power I would be pushing for Ken to leave but I also understand that a succession plan might be the best option. For instance, if Richmond come hard after Carr, the Club could lose him before Port even play finals. But if you think he's senior coach material you're then faced with potentially getting rid of Ken prior to finals which would also never happen. Announcing a succession plan which guarantees you keep Carr as assistant the next 2 years before taking over in 2026 with Ken leading in the mean time could be a happy medium whereby all parties are satisfied not to mention it is a decision that could be made without finals being a determinant on the decision making process - which is a very soft landing for the Board.

Remember when Jack Cahill of all people was moved on for Chocolates. This is that moment but I reckon Kock will **** it up.
