it also means if the number is 10 or fewer, then we're potentially only 8wks away from change

And then Nathan van Berlo is made head coach with a contract for 5 years

From the Thumb to the Numb

I reckon all going well, 6 wins would be the best we could expect

Then will theymake any calls on senior players futures

 

[George Kramer]

It’s unlikely but I could see us eventually finding form (too late for a finals push of course). Home games against Essendon, Saints, Dogs, Hawks, Richmond, Eagles. Away against North, Hawks and snag a couple wins from pies, brisbane or port. Again I don’t reckon this happens but I think it’s a reasonable enough possibility. Would hate it if it came from a season of Laird, Crouch and Dawson in the middle though.

Essendon and Saints beat us here when we were playing well. Bulldogs are a lot better than us. Hawks at the G and North in Tassie will not be easy.

Imagine VB or Burns getting the gig, puke.

Not last year if that’s what you’re referring to?

 

[Danger in Texas]

I can't see that happening in any scenario

That said, it's hard to think we'll make a good appointment if the club respects the same values

 

[cleanhands]

Would rather they give it to Doc Clarke

Sorry you’re right, Saints was 2022 when we were shit, like we are now

 

[Crows I Am]

Cue load up on senior players

Irony being that the senior players are the ones that are underperforming and causing this form slump. If he bought some of the younger kids in from the SANFL in place of underperforming senior guys he might start winning games.

Burns wanted to rebuild back in 2011 when he interviewed for the job.

If he got it we might actually get a proper one.

To be fair at that time we did have Talia, Walker, Dangerfield, Sloane, Jacobs, Tippett, Vince, Smith, Brad Crouch coming in via trade as well as a smattering of good seniors.

Way more proven talent then we have now.

he can't coach though

Would be funny if we poached Carr from Port Adelaide with all those rumors of a succession plan

Roo employing Carr? Roo would go Hinkley and reckon he’s done well

At least selection would be interesting

Would be a case of neither party wanting a bar of the other.

I'd buy a GWS membership instead if that happened. Go Orange team!

VB would be a worse coach than he was a footballer!

Then again, we did make him captain.

He may be better but I get the vibe he is of the same mold as previous coaches and Adelaide FC people

Exactly...should have a clause that stipulates that the more consecutive games he gives to players under 25 he triggers a bonus

It's not a rumour. It's already happening.
Watch their games. Ken is doing nothing but providing little back slaps. He's just a spectator.
Carr is the coach. He's making the calls on gameday.

That's what Power supporters were saying last year, unless they lost games, then it was Ken who was coaching

 

[maxlilly]

An actual rumour: Nicks has a performance (specific number of wins in 2024) clause in his latest contract, if not met, the club can part ways with him.

So if there is a specific number of wins required by Nicks to secure his extension, how many games do you think the club put in his contract that he needed to win this year ?
My guess is 12 wins ?

van Berlo as senior coach would probably get better results than Nicks as someone other than van Berlo would be coaching the midfield group*
