The last time I heard Darren interviewed he just sounded like another Teal Koolaid drinker.

I've just sacked him, he agreed to stand down without pay because I convinced him it would be greedy to take more money

We should all make "Sack Hinkley" signs and hold them up during NTUA against Richmond.

Could also do it in the Showdown, but I don't really want to give the Crers the satisfaction.

Wow someone at the club he doesn't have his little finger wrapped around. Good to hear there are a few there that dislike him

 

[chiwigi]

It's a funny one. I've watched football (soccer before someone corrects me) my entire life as well as the AFL and I've seen protests, banners, near enough riots to get owners & managers out in football, but one sticker triggers some AFL fans.

It's a sheltered sport here in comparison the reaction to the sticker has amused me all morning

I’ve been IN pitch invasions and riots to get owners out and managers sacked .

Has anyone ever asked anyone senior from the club if they're worried about our record Vs top 8 ides since 2016

I've noticed the 8-3 rhetoric has died down now that we're 8-5 since our start.

Wait till next week and it'll be 8-6 and the concept that the first 5 rounds was just bad luck might start to disappear.

If any journalists worth their salt were out there, they'd question the 1-8, but also question the leads we've given up.

Melb - 31 R18 & 53 R4
Cats - 34 R19 & 35 R10
Carlton - 50
Freo - 40
Rich - 26
Hawks - 64

Ken will still be our coach in 2023.

 

[Janus]

Koch on 5AA in short:

• still confident in the list, we have depth and it keeps evolving;
• the footy programme will be assessed at year end, just like every year;
• still need to improve although we've had a lot of injuries;
• frustrated at the Saturday game and "a lot of decisions didn't go our way";
• we have a talented list, a strong program, and the list and footy dept are sticking together. You would worry if you had a team that didn't play for each other, that fell apart, that had no confidence in their coaches, and if there is disconnect in aforementioned. Saturday's game showed no disconnect, the players played for each other and the coach(es);
• asked whether where we are at is a due to bad luck or bad management, he replied "a little bit of both";
• we haven't taken our chances and have showed no consistency. We've gone from best intercept side last year to one of the worst this year.
• we've missed Lycett, but Finlayson has surprised with his development. Charlie Dixon's passion had been missed in the early part of the season and has shown to be the key to the side.
• ultimately, we are good football side who must play more consistently for longer at our best.

Might have missed something but that's the gist of it. No question on the future of the coach and more tellingly there was no mention of "Kenny" but the more neutral coach or coaches.

This is the key for me.

Dixon and Lycett missing for half the year was a perfect storm which meant that Finlayson, who would be an epic forward/second ruck, had to take more of a primary role in the side. When Dixon came back in, Finlayson was able to swap with Charlie up forward and give us better looks, but our system would be far better if Dixon was able to stay forward and it was Lycett who Finlayson was swapping with.

You put Lycett and Dixon in the side, and suddenly Finlayson is in the role that Ladhams was playing in 2021 but far more dangerous, which would have taken the pressure off of Georgiades to kick goals and use this year to consolidate his around the ground work. But there's a silver lining to everything - we probably wouldn't have seen Marshall develop the way he did without Dixon missing.

Koch is also right about the fact that the players and coaches have stuck together. The last time a coach that had reached consecutive prelim finals the two years before was sacked was Rodney Eade, and it was obvious that he had reached the end of the road with the playing list when they lost multiple games in a row by big margins.
