First coach to be sacked in 2017?

[SdKfz 181]

no doubt the atrocious goal kicking let hardwick off the hook last night.

he is safe either way, contracted until 2018, we won't sack a coach with a year to run.

Probably but that's the best time to sack them.

I think everyone at the pies is feeling the pressure of Buckleys predicament. better to cut them before it gets to this.

I 100% agree, although the problem now is RFC does not sack coaches when they should, a product of wanting to be seen as a stable club, and not to harp back to those days of the 80s and 90s.

Laughable people picking Buckley. Hes protected by Eddie. For him to sack him is tantamount to Maguire acknowledging he screwed up. Ain't happening.

Give us a spell, it's professional sport. If a coach isn't performing they go. Simple.

Coincidence Eade came from Pies to Suns?

I was genuinely surprised when Eade was appointed at the Suns, I think his time as a senior coach was done and dusted well before the Suns gave him the top job.

If Gold Coast lose their first 12 games (quite possible looking at their fixture) then Rocket will be in the gun

Eades odds for this market are shortening by the minute

 

[Red Bull]

Rocket , maybe at half time ...

 

[Grockadoc]

Gotta be Eade. We have heard that the Suns should be competitive but injuries have derailed them. Fielding almost their best 22 and are sub afl standard.

And here they are playing another expansion side with similar concessions given and the difference is enormous.

I don't think Eade will last past Easter.
hawthorn won't lose three in a row to start the season, so they will be 0-3.
If he does last until Easter and they lose to Carlton, he's gone.

 

[Professor Knowall]

From Wikipedia- Eade resigned twice mid-season; in 2002, Sydney were fourteenth when he resigned and in 2011, the Western Bulldogs were twelfth when he resigned.

First time viewing this thread. How is that Hardwick is winning this race? Buckley will be next. Cant see them winning until R7 against Carlton.

Skewed figures from pre-season.

John Woosha to get the boot once everyone realizes it's rebuild time without Natinui.

Lucky he doesn't have to worry about covering Naitanui considering Naitanui plays for West Coast...

 

[Jarrysofthead]

there coming for eade

 

[sonnywalters]

It should be Ross Lyon but he still has a lot of people fooled with his snake oil sales pitch.

Their list is pretty bad when you go through it.
Joyce, Schoenfeld, Lemmens etc really not AFL ready.
But they should be moe competitive.
Who are the coaches in waiting? Dew, Tudor?

Rightly or wrongly, there's a perception that Eade is out of touch - that may be unfairly based on his fire-and-brimstone reputation, coupled with our presuppositions of how that might go with Generation Y.

That said, there's a lot of talent that has wanted out or been cut from the GC over the last two years. Prestia, O'Meara, Dixon, Bennell... it looks every inch an unhappy place to be.

 

[NathanMX]

No coach sackings but Lyon and Buckley do a Walls-Northey and swap jobs

Not sure who would hate it more, Pie or Docker fans actually....

 

[jakefooty23]

Hopefully Ross Lyon

 

[Bazza97]

Probably Eade considering he is out of contract this year but even though Lyon is contracted until 2020, action will need to be taken if there is little to no improvement to the Dockers form soon. I don't think much will change with either team, both coaches should be gone before the end of the year.

 

[Ron The Bear]

It should be Ross Lyon but he still has a lot of people fooled with his snake oil sales pitch.

Freo supporters insisted all was well with the list two years ago. It behoves them to back Lyon in for the next 86+ matches.

 

[WestCoastin2Cup]

From Wikipedia- Eade resigned twice mid-season; in 2002, Sydney were fourteenth when he resigned and in 2011, the Western Bulldogs were twelfth when he resigned.

So what you mean, in coming years after resigning that team goes on to win a premiership. Not a bad omen I guess.

Agree with you here. Think there is more issue than just the coach with this club. Looking like they have to do another full re build.
