When the football manager takes the year off what example does that set?

A deplorable one.

Not the only 1 that has looked like they had the Season Off

Terrible Example

 

[Mostfamousclub_Pies]

Bring back Gubby Allan.

What's worse, winning a flag then have a shit year the year after, or not winning a flag?

Imo it was the decisions after winning it that was the issue

 

[regpies]

You can’t say recruiting Schultz was needs based. It feels like every draft all we recruit are small forwards.

Did we take him just because he was best available who would come?

Very interesting off season for which direction we go. Are the older guys told it’s time so the youth get games and we move forward. Or try again and say this was a bad year with injuries and form, which can lead you towards being the next West Coast.

We still rely on our oldest players (the ones who will possibly retire) to play well in order for us to win. We have the quality to be top 8, but I don’t think it’s good enough to challenge for a flag going forward.

 

[Mollythedolly]

But specifically, what moves did he make that you feel ruined us? Genuine question.

I think he got the the decision wrong around Shultz v Ginnivan, and we should seriously never ever trade away a future first pick again since the first time (in fact, I think we need to never trade away any first rounder for a good amount of time). Like never ever. I'm so p!ssed at this one.

We are in a lot of trouble with a very old list, limited young talent coming through, and Tassie and Gold Coast looking like they'll hoover up all the young talent for a while. Big risk we waste the next 5+ years of Nick the way we did with Bucks.

It was never Schultz v Ginnivan so not sure how he got that wrong.

 

[Mollythedolly]

That we have faith in the remainder of his team to fill the void?

Graham Wright did a magnificent job that culminated in a flag.

Hopefully wrighty comes back refreshed and wanting to stay and engineer more success for pies
He and Geoff Browne turned our club around magnificently from the mess of 2021

That “mess of 2021” moved on most of our previous coaching panel and appointed our current coaching panel, who then went on to win us a Premiership.

It can’t have been that much of a mess?

Was a huge mess
Finished 17 th
Clown president
Hopeless coach sacked

Wright tapped bucks on the shoulder


Browne and wright steadied the ship

If Browne appointed McRae, why wasn’t Browne at McRae’a unveiling?

And why was Korda there?

I honesty think Ross Lyon would’ve been our coach if Eddie stayed. Thank f that didn’t happen .

 

[cfc19902010]

Yeah ok
Korda was interim after McGuire
But Browne at that stage was very heavily involved in all plans before he was appointed towards the end of 21


The point I’m making is 2021 was a mess and wright and Browne subsequently pulled us out

you can tell me everything was great in 2021 till the cows come home and I’m not buying it

The clubs fortunes turned around on a new head of football new coach and new president

Nobody is suggesting 2021 was a great year.

But any suggestion that Jeff Browne is our Lord and Saviour is BS revisionist history.

Much better than predecessor
No more unwanted headlines and foot n mouth gaffes also a bonus

What “foot-n-mouth gaffes” did Korda make?

Lol

No he wasn't.

 

[cfc19902010]

No he wasn't.

Yes he was

 

[sr36]

Yes he was

When we hired McRae, Browne was taking potshops at Korda - he wasn't even on the board.

 

[Harry O]

It was never Schultz v Ginnivan so not sure how he got that wrong.

That was a Macrae decision. Shultz fitted his game plan better

 

[Go Woods]

Gut feel is GW won't be coming back to the Pies.
