How many teams in the 4 team league make the finals? We have to remember that making the finals IS success

Yep, when the stated goal is to win a premiership close enough isn't good enough. The mentality on show from CD and Richardson is very much near enough is good enough. You either win the flag or you've failed. If you've failed you can still have had a good year, but you can't say it has been...

Chris Davies is devastated that this article wasn't available to be included in his AGM address to underscore his argument that we're really successful

They did say they were disappointed, but those words were sandwiched between about a thousand 'yeah but we're doing a lot right' excuses or outright garbage. It's just them paying lip service to the idea of being disappointed by not achieving a goal they set for themselves.

It's because they have no idea what to do to achieve that goal, it's the football equivalent of copying Brendan Gale's homework but not copying the workings.

Being timid in front of the AGM and media I think is probably a fear of public speaking, particularly in the context of the AGM rather than anxiety around the questions he would get asked. Because he's not standing up at the ending taking questions without notice from members, he's standing...

Based on the post-AGM revelation that the players need to be coddled and told they've been successful after perpetually failing in finals, the club really should look to engage a younger coach who may be able to give some home truths in a way that won't dent the fragile psyches of a group of...

First time I've ever had a timeout in my many years of buying tickets for my group. Wasn't allowing me to have Cat 1, went in again, found the seats I wanted, then it booted me out on the payment page. Back of the line. What a garbage system.

This is surprisingly slow going, did they release all the tickets to all the games all at once this year? I can't remember the wait in previous years being this slow

Yep, pulled him aside afterwards and spoke to him privately. The argument that the club appeared to be making was that we’d misunderstood what the Crows constitution change means and the change doesn’t actually give their members total control (I think because of some legalese notion of what a...

CD’s closing line, after telling us having the 2nd or 3rd most H&A wins was success, was essentially “I’ll keep doing this job for as long as the club wants me”. Given who is running the club we won’t be rid of him any time soon. Ken’s position feels more precarious but only based on the...

Went and was suitably underwhelmed. Credit to them for the financial results and the developments, but they completely don’t get the football side of the business - which is the most important part of the business. CD and Richardson repeatedly commented that we’ve been successful in the...

Given how prone to emotional outbursts/throwing others under the bus when he's under the slightest whiff of pressure, I'd have thought Ken would've let this sort of clandestine arrangement slip by now.

Chinese made EVs are just lucky he liked them enough not to call them bastards

Double ups against Adelaide, Sydney, Hawthorn, Geelong, Fremantle and Carlton

Are the Sunday night fixtures about stopping the overlapping Sunday games or is it purely the broadcasters looking at the American market and deciding that SNF should be a thing here as well?

He just has to win the Electoral College of Cardinals

Seriously, the club is rotten from top to bottom.

Even knowing the likely outcome was that the club was too gutless to sack him, tonight still feels like being kicked in the guts. It’s the hope that kills you

Coming from the same man who, a few years ago, said the club didn’t want the sugar hit of playing finals after missing the 8. Constantly moving the goalposts, he’s a fckn cancer

He was never leaving with a young family settled in SE Queensland. Heard from a friend of the family that he got an offer from Sydney as soon as he was removed from the GC job last year and chose to stay in SE Qld instead of returning to the Swans. He wasn't coming back here regardless of what...

Some people really do have short and selective memories... Wasn't it like a week ago where you left us alone because you realised basically everyone in this thread wasn't buying what you were selling. Perhaps you can selectively remember that comparing a premiership coach with a guy who has...

If Ken is still there by the time the AGM rolls around the Q&A at the end will be worth sitting through an hour of them patting themselves on the back - I don’t think people will pull their punches anymore. I’m trying to write a list of potential questions and this thread has been a great...

Yep, Dew was offered a contract at the Swans basically as soon as he was sacked by GC17, they knew how good he is as an assistant coach and how good he was for them. From what I've heard, despite Sydney's offer to bring him back, he didn't want to up and move from SE Queensland at a whim...

Yeah, to me it reeked of copying Brendan Gale's Richmond homework without understanding how they got to their answer. I brought the 3 in 5 thing up after the AGM last year with one of the Port staff who was speaking to me, the jist of the response was that they wish that 3 in 5 hadn't been made...

If Brisbane get up tomorrow you can see the Ken apologists and pearl clutchers shifting to hammering our fanbase for booing the guy in a loss to the eventual premiers, ignoring the context of them being 13th and friendless at the time.

I can handle a step backwards to go forwards rather the insanity of going back to the well with the proven loser that is Ken Hinkley. And really, Ken's record (the one that counts, you know, premierships) isn't one that anyone can really defend at that point anyway, the new coach will have...

I read it in a similar way to that, based on the way he dodged the question about Collingwood's interest in him and about Ken's future.

They've gone from knockoff Baltimore Ravens to knockoff Atlanta Falcons
