Coach Coach for 2025

[Byron_Clanger]

What evidence do we have that Stephen King would be any good as the head coach of an AFL team?

We don't. If we go for Hinkley how do we know he wouldn't turn out like Denis Pagan or Malthouse at Carlton? If we go with a young coach how do we know whether or not he'll be Brendon Bolton or Mark Neeld? Won't know until we get someone.

We need home and away wins.

Have you seen his record against top 8 sides? He's had a decent list to work with the whole time he's been at PA too.

No idea why anyone would want him coaching our side.

maybe not

Ken can build a list and develop a team, just can't win finals.

I'd back him in if it were a Paul Roos/John Longmire type situation where Shuey is ready to take over once the team is finals bound.

He took over a team that had finished 14th and 16th the two years prior, and had no fans showing up to games.

Well Hinkley could be okay for WC but really could just need a place to hide away from Port fans .

MCG on grand final day should work

Ken would be a safe set of hands for a young formative team like WC currently. I also see Ken as someone with a skin thick enough to deal with the Fwits in the West Australian Media.

i'd back in hinkley because it would let me bring back my 'have we tried sacking the coach' gag

but seriously, can port supporters stop creating fake accounts to push this narrative?

Towards the end of this clip ol Sausage Gossage saying he's spoken to some senior people at West Coast and they tell him they want someone with some 'shit' in them, an aggressor because that's what the team needs, not an arm around them nice guy.

I can understand that. Our players took Simmo's nice guyness for a ride these last few years and the work rate has tanked because of it.

yeah, it wasn't a coincidence that Sam Mitchell was an assistant in 2018 and we won

If a near 100-point flogging in Geelong was enough to put a line through Schofield, a near 100-point flogging in Adelaide should put a line through Ken.

From what I understand Simmo was basically like Charlie in Me, Myself and Irene; parking cars for players and letting them shit on his lawn.

Stephen King was a pretty scary player.

We wouldn’t want anybody pissing Harley off though.

for all the pun opportunities.

The Outsider could be a Firestarter to get us out of this Misery. We've been in The Dead Zone for too long waiting for a Revival, someone needs to bring the Shining aspect back to this team, rather than just Carrie on about synergy and credits. There's a lot of Roadwork to do, but hopefully he can put the work in, and be a Dreamcatcher by bringing us back to Joyland.

We need a gunslinger to make a Stand and help us catch our dreams. Not going to work without a good running man though. I know one thing, it sure would be a Fairy Tale

Gossage so I'm sure it's all true and all...

But if so (big IF) sounds like how people have described Montgomery

Also not a coincidence that Simmo was coach in 2018 and we won. Just facts, the both of them.

With all the ankle injuries we’ve had I think Cindy Moses has spent enough time at our club

The flip side is we get to continue with the Simpsons references if Monty Burns gets the gig

Hope is a dangerous thing.

Mark Readings constantly refers to his inside mail from bulldogs that Montgomery left on bad terms. Don't want a control micro managing ****wit in charge. Never ends well for team dynamic.

Clearly Port fans reckon Ken for another 10 will lead them to victory.

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

I know right, it's pretty f**ken clear that the reason we suck now is because of the shitty, shitty Birds of Tokyo song

I reckon its because of this
