Former Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley says he is open to discussions about Carlton’s vacant senior coaching position. Multiple outlets report that Hinkley’s comments suggest he is willing to meet with the Blues, though the level of openness varies in how it is described across sources. All three articles focus on remarks made by Hinkley about Carlton’s vacancy, indicating he has not ruled out a future coaching role with the club.
The reports also note that Hinkley speaks more strongly about another potential candidate for Carlton’s job. While the outlets differ slightly in how they frame that second candidate, they agree that Hinkley’s most detailed comments are not only about his own potential interest. Overall, the coverage characterizes Hinkley as engaging with Carlton’s coaching search publicly, combining openness to meeting the club with additional observations about who else could be considered.
