'Yeah, that's us': Ken hopes Port getting on a roll

Buoyed by a sharper energy at training, Port Adelaide feel like they are ready to launch.
The Power (6-7) have a massive home game against Sydney this Saturday as their AFL season continues to sit on a knife's edge.
They have won their last two games, but are two games outside eighth spot and a woeful percentage means that gap is effectively three matches.
Over the last few years, when Port have made finals it has come on the back of late-season runs.
In 2024, they won eight of their last nine in the regular season before reaching a preliminary final.
Coach Ken Hinkley is seeing signs that something good is brewing again at Alberton.
"You get some certain things in your game that you go 'yeah, that's us'. Then we play like that, we're a really hard team to beat," he said on Wednesday.
"Our players have a little bit of that in them at the moment.
"We have to make everything happen in the right way, as we possibly can, from here on in. But we have a bit more confidence.
"When you have confidence in your group, you can actually be hard to stop. We have had a history of being able to get on a few runs and we desperately need to get on one."
Out of their mid-season bye, Port have beaten GWS and Melbourne. Hinkley said the break had been a circuit breaker and paid credit to their senior players for never giving up belief.
Crucially, Hinkley has noticed a better energy at training.
"At that point of the year (the bye), things can drop pretty quickly or they can bounce for us," he said.
"Luckily enough, our group have decided, you know what? We're still in this and we want to have a real crack at it."
Hinkley expects star onballer Jason Horne-Francis to play against the Swans after he hurt his shoulder in the Melbourne win.
"He's a really competitive player, clearly, and he probably needs his arms and shoulders to be working pretty well," Hinkley said.
"So we're hopeful he'll play this week."
But Sydney are set to regain Errol Gulden and Tom Papley from injury and Hinkley said they would "significantly" change the Swans.
"We saw last week when Jase came back into our side, you get your top end ... injuries are really, really important to team success," Hinkley said.
At the end of his weekly media conference, Hinkley was asked about Power board member Warren Tredrea and his statements in a document submitted to the Federal Court.
The ex-Power captain claimed only gold or silver coins could pay his debt to former employer the Nine Network.
"Clearly my job is to coach. It's a personal matter and it's not one I want to buy into, in any way, shape or form," Hinkley said.

Waverley Park: AFL likely to snap up historic Hawks' home

Waverley Park in Mulgrave. Melbourne's historic Waverley Park may not be lost to football, with the AFL firmly in the race to purchase the venue from Hawthorn. It would be the league's second major piece of infrastructure, following their purchase of Marvel Stadium in Docklands for more than $30m in 2016. Expressions of interest for the property closed on April 3, and a deal is expected to be finalised within a matter of days. RELATED: Ex-Tiger star Kayne Pettifer and mate set to farewell Bungalow Beer Garden Actor Shane Jacobson reveals plans after buying country Vic pub Fairfield: Developer splashes $50m on Heidelberg Rd site Industry sources have indicated the property had attracted significant interest, but the AFL was the frontrunner. They also confirmed the sales price would likely fall in the $10m to $20m range. Hawthorn purchased the ground for just $1 in 2006, with the club set to cash in big-time on any sale. Commercial real estate agency Colliers' director Ben Baines, Victorian chief executive Rob Joyes and executive Lucas Soccio, who have the listing, declined to comment. The Goodlife Gym at Waverley Park generates $600,000 in annual rental income. The offering includes the Hawks' soon-to-be former training and administrative headquarters set within the within the Sir Kenneth Luke Stand, with the club set to move to a purpose-built new Dingley Village site this year. Features of Waverley Park include a full-size MCG-specification oval on the title, a gym, 25m-long heated indoor pool, running track, medical treatment rooms and 48 basement car spaces. But the listing does not include the famous oval that hosted more than 730 AFL and VFL games, including the 1991 AFL grand final. Jack Ginnivan kicks during a Hawks training session at Waverley Park on March 18, 2025. Picture:. While the venue once had a capacity of 72,000 people, much of the stadium has since been demolished and is now surrounded by a housing estate. The AFL said only on Friday night that it was always looking for more facilities to accommodate the growth of the game. 'The AFL has targeted having 10 million attendees at AFL/AFLW games, events or festivals, two million AFL club members and one million participants and in order to achieve the target for participation we need two ovals a week every week for the next five years,' AFL spokesman Jay Allen said. 'We are always looking for ovals, either already in the system that we can continue to use for football, or new greenfield developments so we can continue to expand the space we need to accommodate the strong national growth in people playing our game.'

Former footballer John Rombotis debuted at Waverley Park for Fitzroy in 1995, and had one of his best games in the AFL with Port Adelaide at the ground in 1997. Rombotis, now a real estate agent, said it was good to see the AFL taking an interest in the old ground – and noted that a purchase price under $20m would be just a fraction of what they were making at Marvel Stadium each year. Waverley Park also hosted the 2000 VFA/VFL premiership match, the last official game played there, and a KISS concert in the 1980s. – additional reporting by Chris Cavanagh and David Bonaddio Sign up to the Herald Sun Weekly Real Estate Update.

Watch every match from Emerging Matildas and Emerging Socceroos Championships

Don't miss out on the headlines from Football Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. The nation's footballing talents of the future will return to KommunityTV screens in July, but with a new name and new purpose. It is the second-straight year KommunityTV and News Corp Australia has partnered with Football Australia to bring the nation's flagship underage national championships to life on the small screen. Those tournaments have been given a new lease on life in 2025 with the creation of the Emerging Matildas Championships and Emerging Socceroos Championships. The Emerging Socceroos Championships will take place at the Home of the Matildas in Melbourne from July 6-11, while the Emerging Matildas Championships take over Sydney's Valentines Sports Park from July 15-20. Action from last year's National Youth Championships. Picture: Mark Avellino Photography It's not just a name change according to former Matilda and Football Australia interim CEO Heather Gariock. 'This is about more than a name, it's about delivering a high-performance environment that identifies, nurtures, and prepares the next generation of elite Australian footballers, coaches, and match officials,' she said. What hasn't changed is our level of coverage. KommunityTV will exclusively live stream every match from both tournaments, with more than 170 games of football played across the two weeks of action. 'We're very pleased to continue our partnership with KommunityTV in 2025, providing live streaming of every match to ensure families, friends, and fans across the country can follow the action and support their local talent,' Garriock said.

The tournaments have been a proven breeding ground of Australia's top football talents, and provide the perfect springboard for the next generation to hit the global stage. This has only been strengthened by the introduction of a more cohesive national pathway to the Socceroos and Matildas teams. The tournament has also adopted a number of technical advancements in the past year with data-driven performance analysis, expanded competition formats, a national talent identification strategy and the inclusion of more target awards including a tournament Golden Boot, player of the final and fair play award. 'The transformation of the CommBank Emerging Matildas and CommBank Emerging Socceroos Championships reflects Football Australia's commitment to building world-class development pathways that align directly with our senior national teams,' Garriock said. Capital Football's Jessica Pearson in action at the National Youth Championships. Picture: Mark Avellino Photography The pressure will be on NSW Metro's stellar girls football program after the sky blues took out both the Under-15 and Under-16 age group titles at the National Youth Championships last year. One side who will be determined to press their case for a national title is the Northern NSW girls who managed to hold their gloves up against their high-powered rivals in last year's decider. In the boys NSW Metro and Victoria shared the national honours last year after the sky blues came from behind to topple rivals Queensland in the decider. The Victorian boys were completely unstoppable in the Under-15s tournament, going through undefeated and will hope most players back up for a run at the Under-16 title in 2025. Live stream schedules for the girls tournament will be announced in late June, while the boys tournament will be released in early July.

Don't pin hopes on comeback Swans, cautions coach

Sydney coach Dean Cox doesn't expect miracles from his returning big guns. And he also doesn't want his Swans to pin hopes of a late-season revival on the comebacks of some top talent for Saturday's away clash against Port Adelaide. Dual All Australian Errol Gulden (ankle) will play his first game since last year's grand final, while Tom Papley, absent since round three, Joel Amartey and Matt Roberts also return. "One thing you don't want to rely on is getting certain players back to turn your season around," Cox told reporters in Adelaide. "They are important players for our football club. "But we have got to make sure that we're building a system and a way we play so when they do come back, they just add. "Time will tell how quickly they dive back into it, but they have worked extremely hard through their rehab process." But the inclusions have Port Adelaide wary ahead of the Adelaide Oval fixture. "On paper they look really good," Power assistant coach Tyson Goldsack told reporters. "We don't know at what level they can perform with their first game back, say Gulden and Papley in particular, Amartey has missed a chunk of footy. "They're really good players, and if they all have a day they're going to be hard to stop. "But at the same time we're in pretty good form, so we will take on all comers." The Power (11th, six wins, seven losses) are two wins outside the top eight ahead of hosting 13th-placed Sydney. "Us and Sydney, we have got a mountain of work to do in the back half of the year," Goldsack said. "But our players are up for the fight." Port lost Brownlow Medallist Ollie Wines and key defender Aliir Aliir to knee injuries, with Lachie Jones among those recalled. Midfielder Jason Horne-Francis was selected despite being on light duties after copping a knock to his right shoulder in last week's win against Melbourne. "He has had a lean week. He got some treatment that should see him play OK with it," Goldsack said. "I don't think it is a big risk, it's just pain management."
