Preview 2020 Fixture

[True__Believer]

I, for one, welcome round 1

 

[Dirty Bird]

In all honesty, I think there’s a reason for it.
I have this small feeling you’ll get a 5 day break into Thursday night football to play Carlton In rd 2

I know that’ll mean back to back away games for Carlton, but it just makes the most sense.
I don’t have the stats in front of me, but aren’t they the 2nd best drawing club for you guys?

Right now I feel rd 2 for you is
40% - tnf vs Carlton
30% - fnf vs Richmond
20% - fnf vs Collingwood
10% - other

I’m willing to be that you’re only away rd 1 because your rd 2 opponent is locked into something already in rd 1

 

[Papa G]

Holy ****. Imagine if Gold Coast pump us in Round 1! Genuinely excited by this.

 

[Iwish]

Holy fu**. Imagine if Gold Coast pump us in Round 1! Genuinely excited by this.

It will be potentially I extreme to the other.
We will either be sitting on top of the ladder after round 1 or the heat on Ken will be unlike any coach has faced after just 1 round.

I'm thinking could actually be essendon

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

a round one thrashing has never got a coach sacked

 

[PowerBaz]

Ken can check out his digs for the year after when he assists Dew.

 

[Forzaport]

a round one thrashing has never got a coach sacked

Dare I say it will be history in the making?

 

[Lockhart Road]

a round one thrashing has never got a coach sacked

Always a first time. We do indulge ourselves in history in the making.

 

[Lockhart Road]

Dare I say it will be history in the making?

SNAP!

 

[WillemDaDrew]

They saying we will play Gold Coast round 1 away.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Dare I say it will be history in the making?

For some perspective, a post- first round sacking is less likely than us finishing top four in 2020.

 

[ABSOLUTE MADMAN]

If Hinkley did not get sacked after that first quarter at home against Brisbane this year then he would likely survive a 187 point loss in round 1 against the Suns.

 

[blackdiamond]

A preseason game has though.

 

[GremioPower]

If Hinkley did not get sacked after that first quarter at home against Brisbane this year then he would likely survive a 187 point loss in round 1 against the Suns.

He has gotten his extension in 2017 after losing a Showdown by 80+ points, in which the Crows kicked 1,000 behinds or so.

He just needs to make Finals once between 2018 and 2020 to earn an extra year.

 

[Steve Dore]

Holy fu**. Imagine if Gold Coast pump us in Round 1! Genuinely excited by this.

We'll probably have another "best win ever" narrowly defeating Gold Coast and Koch will be telling us that Hinkley is a superhero at 1-0.

 

[TheFVK]

Why should any of us tune in for any of this when our club actively acknowledge (and even embrace) the fact we are literally zero chance for a flag.

 

[240volt]

My hope is for our first 7 games are: West Coast home, Brisbane Away, Collingwood home, Hawthorn in Tasmania, Geelong at Kardinia, Richmond home, GWS in Canberra....

The Magnificent 7.
I feel a song coming on with Hinkley riding a Donkey.

 

[RossFC]

a round one thrashing has never got a coach sacked

What has been the earliest round a coach has been sacked?

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

What has been the earliest round a coach has been sacked?

Wayne Schimmelbusch was appointed coach of the North Melbourne Football Club in 1990. The team did not perform well, and in the 1993 pre-season after a 147-point loss to Adelaide, Schimmelbusch was sacked and replaced by Denis Pagan, who had previously coached North Melbourne’s under-19 and Essendon Football Club’s reserves teams.

 

[portly]

So I don't get to see my team play till Round 2, not even in pre-season.

And what a master stroke that was, if only we could be so ballsy!

 

[Interstater]

I don't get it, I just don't get it.
However much I'm not a fan of the current coach I just can't wish us to lose round 1.
But I seem to be the exception.

I love the club more than I dislike the coach as I'm sure most of you do, hence this really fries my brain.

You weren't saying we should sack ken when we were 1-0 and in da top 4!!!

We are not acting anything like the Port Adelaide I've supported for 50 years, from the hierarchy, coaches to players. Until this toxic lot are gone I will hope for losses. Never been so p*ssed off.
