Well true, but Voss took the reigns from memory with no real experience at all, merely got the job because like Hird and Buckley he was a club legend. And you are right. I forgot about those examples. Ratten was a good coach at the blues and coached finals. He was sacked unfairly imo. Boys club scape goat was likely. Pyke is a successful coach and we wanted him to stay.

But I admit I did forget Voss and Ratten.

Ratten's situation was also a perfect storm for him. He went from being a solid coach, to universally regarded as being anywhere from 'unlucky' to 'hard done by' to 'completely screwed over' by Carlton, to Hawthorn ?senior assistant 3-peat coach.
If he didn't land at Hawthorn and have that success, he probably doesn't get another crack.

 

[tinman]

Not everyone hates adelaide.

He has a pretty good excuse if his wife is from there

 

[El Doederino]

Not necessarily... Some blokes are just good assistants compared to head coaches. Look at Leppa.. bloke was a dud coach but a great assistant with a "just a bit" of success.

When Nicks is sacked, if Leppa wants to apply, I’d be open to him getting the gig too. As would other clubs

 

[SLOWNE]

Not a groundbreaking rumour as it’s already been pretty much assumed but heard today that McHenry is now strongly pursuing more media opportunities in SA for next year onwards, he’s expecting his delisting to be formal soon, no other AFL interest, wants to stay in SA but not interested in playing SANFL. Another former Crow in the media with connections is pushing his case in the local media landscape apparently.

As a footballer, Ned makes a fantastic fishing show host.

Wish the lad all the best, seems like a ripping young man.

 

[El Doederino]

I hope he does. He’s a ripping guy and great with people.

I’m torn

Ned the footballer is just not up to it

But on radio, despite the voice that sounds like an over exuberant school boy, he is entertaining.

 

[jenny61_99]

When Nicks is sacked, if Leppa wants to apply, I’d be open to him getting the gig too. As would other clubs

Absolutely not!

 

[crow2crow]

C2C, this is really difficult to say. We've really appreciated your work here, we just think it's time to make a change and bring in some fresh ideas.

I really didn't want to you to find out like this. We wish you the best, please leave your pass at reception on the way out.

Dont worry I will be gone once the trade period is over.... Your work isn't exactly breathtaking

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

When Nicks is sacked, if Leppa wants to apply, I’d be open to him getting the gig too. As would other clubs

Not a fan personally.

Not convinced he is senior coach material, rather a handy assistant.

I still can’t believe we wasted a good pick on him

 

[Billy Cart]

And my article when he said the players were out of form? You asked for proof and was given it twice and your defence is they wouldn’t have been hurt by being blamed. Talk about changing the goalposts when your bullshit comment has been exposed.

Fess up and admit you ****ed up

Do you take your anry pills at night or for breakfast?

 

[Trigger13]

Like I said yesterday, Dew (and possibly Francou) very much on Port’s radar to become assistants as part of the handover to Carr. Carr driving a lot of what’s going on down there.

you seem to know a lot about what's happening at port.

 

[Trigger13]

Yup. Got a very good source/connection at the club.

How many times will we have to put up with hearing the term "The Port Adelaide way" if those guys return to the club?

 

[Billy Cart]

Nah, get him the good stuff... Hill of Grace.

Without derailing this thread, a mate and I used to drink that in the late 70s when it was around $17 a bottle. Went to buy one when I got hitched in 2005 and he was my best man and I knew I was in trouble when the guy went to the Grange area. Then it was $680. Bought a cheaper one at $150.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Yup. Got a very good source/connection at the club.

I believe ya.

 

[Billy Cart]

FFS... anyone who is a half decent judge of football knows we clearly changed the game plan.

Don't treat us like fools.

Flind Freddy could see we changed the game plan even Rowe could.

Don't treat us like fools.

Maybe Rahilly held the keys to the cupboard and the others didn't know or understand the forward transition game so they made up something else... idk all I know is it was shit

 

[BunjiMac]

He's already back in Adelaide. His partner is from SA I think.

This makes me feel even worse about Lyons. He clearly desperately wanted to stay in Adelaide and this was going to be his long term home, yet we treated like garbage that we couldn't wait to throw out.

 

[George Kramer]

Do you take your anry pills at night or for breakfast?

And another one. I’m told to shove it. I’m told to eat a dick and I am not sexy and yet I am the angry one, I’m the victim!

I haven't bothered to watch his fishing show. Is he any good? Charismatic etc?

It would be nice if he can do a Tony Armstrong and turn a mediocre AFL career into a TV career.

 

[AFC979810]

Ummm I was talking about Wanganeen-Milera.... We were discussing who else people would have taken at pick 6 in the Rachele draft??

Wasnt meant to quote you mate! It was the old fella and his dismissal of Peatling.

 

[lincsPJ]

I still can’t believe we wasted a good pick on him

Quite the contrary. I can believe it.

I remember hearing him say something about crying, either on debut or at his first training session. It was the realisation he’d achieved his dream.

Seems like a genuinely nice bloke and I’m disappointed for him and the club that he’s not going to make it.

Going to pursue a professional fishing show for tv is my guess.
