Actually he does have a point.
The club and the media always push that the players love Ken.
Yet these same players don't say a lick about him when they leave the club.
The 2021 prelim final was the worst finals disaster in club history. Worse than 2007. No luck involved there.
How you lose a game in the first quarter, to a team that finished like 8th, that had travelled all over the country due to covid protocols, at home, with a weeks rest, with large...
With the players playing for Ken and his job, it would not surprise me if we did well in the regular season.
It absolutely terrifies me that he gets extended again before the finals though
Look I know I'm a dick but those saying it's not Atkins' fault he got dragged into the deal, well no.
He could have said no the deal to veto the trade and save us from doing one of the worst deals ever
The players have a senior coach that is legitimately scared of supporters and he also hides from most public events. They also get constantly told just making the finals is an incredible achievement and that our win/loss record since 2013 is fantastic. In addition, they are also told finals...
Didn't one time the club postponed Ken's extension announcement until after a win?
How the **** do you expect someone that needs that to be able to coach a team to perform in the finals?
There was actually a pre game conference from Chad last year where he said the coaches believed McEntee, Rioli and SPP could be the top defensive pressure groups in the AFL
The thing about Koch and certain board members is that the club runs too much like a business and not enough like a professional sporting club.
They look at trends and math out that the more time they spend in the top 8, the more likely a premiership is (and all's well if profits are made year...
How could you genuinely be annoyed when a member responds with 'yeah but no premiership'.
Like there has got to be some prideful, passionate or competitive bone in you that wants that.
The moments where our forward line doesn't look cluttered with 30 players is when Houston is delivering the ball.
We don't have a Houston replacement.
Hartlett and Krakouer were better kicks than all our current half backs.
There is a very big difference between trading Houston for the No 1 pick vs trading him for No 13 pick and filler picks.
Berry and Whitlock could turn out to be the number one and two greatest AFL players ever but that makes the draft great not the trade.
Berry and Whitlock turning out to be the next Robbie Gray and Ben King would just mean we lucked out and the drafting team saved Cripps' ass.
It's still a terrible trade on an objective value.
He's not even good at SANFL level.
The guy never played forward it anywhere close to the role he was at AFL when dropped and padded his stats in the midfield and his numbers at that level was still mid.
Doesn't matter because he still got selected for finals though.
Our forward line has speed and it has excellent playmakers.
I just want to see a forward line with lots of movement unlike the one that relied on the corpse of Charlie Dixon
