Can we afford to sack Laidley?

[PortPhillip]

I don't think he is going to walk, so we are going to have to show him the door, can we afford to pay him out? I really hope we can, I am dreading another year under Laidley, it will be a nightmare.

We don't need to sack him - just bring someone else in and keep him on as a skills coach!

I don't think he'd walk either as he lacks the pragmatism that is needed to honestly sum up the situation.

Remember, this is a bloke that has a build that never should have played a single game of AFL footy, let alone played 151 games, played in arguably the greatest half back line of all time for a period of time (along with McKenna and Jacovich) and contributed to an AFL premiership.

Absolute willpower, the thing that made him a very good footballer, is the very same thing that limits his vision as a coach.

So very similiar to Schimma.

gee, never thought about it like that, but your spot on with Laidley's similiarities with Schimma, well we are going to need to find the money to sack him.

We simply can't afford to sack Dean because then other clubs will poach him.

 

[F/D]

How about each member chips in some cash?

Yep, & with the left-overs, we can buy Greg Stafford.

Yeah that's why we were in a rush to sign him up at the start of last year.

Did you see him play on the weekend? Absolute monster. No one could stop him in Coburg's forward line.
I think the idea has merit - North Ballarat could win their first premiership.

 

[Mr Reliable]

If things are as bad as they seem then can we afford not to sack him? It's false economy to say the "captain" is going to inadvertently crash the ship or aircraft but we can't afford to pay him out and hire another "captain".

He was injured for most of the time he was with the Eagles.

And the HB line that is revered by Eagles fans is Worsfold, Jakovich, and McKenna, and that line was well established by the time Laidley left the Eagles.

Didnt someone on here float $50 per person

 

[hotham]

If we couldn't afford not to get him then we cannot afford to sack him.

 

[numchuks]

I think we can.

Bring on the Sack Laidleys.

I doubt he would play Longmire on a wing...

Numnuts... you have way too much time on your hands... well I think it's time???
