Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[1970crow]

I'm pretty sure it was reported somewhere, can't remember where I saw it though

It might have been in an article and then deleted now

Definitely reported that GWS put contract talks on hold.

 

[arrowman]

I still believe before the season started, that Port will need to beat us in the final round to make the 8.

If it comes to that, the denizens of the Sack Hinkley thread will be barracking for us!

I'm sure he saw the writing on the wall after 9 years. I mean, he's no Ken Hinkley.

Those 5 posters taking a shot at the goal umpire who paid touched in the 1st quarter of Friday Night, when it was a goal.

The one where it hit the players Butt? I originally thought it was goal because I was looking at the hands didn't realise it was the Port players booty it touched

Talent-wise, GWS are streets ahead of North or Port

Culture-wise, they need a serious smack in the chops.

Tailor-made for Clarko, you’d think

It’s a virtual sacking. If there was any appetite to renew they’d have talked him out of resigning 10 rounds into the season.

Talent wise, if they played to their potential under Clarko, they win a flag with him.

Getting in early for Clarko.

Clarko would be insane not to coach the GWS, best chance for a flag out of all the teams and will be paid a bucket load

I said that on here a few months back. GCS is the expansion team that he would be looking at

So the Dees announced 60k members today…I didnt think there would be quite so much space on the bandwagon, but there you go. Also look forward to 2050 or whenever we have a post premiership bandwagon

Some of the contenders for the role

Some who’ve been senior coaches
Clarko yes
Pyke a chance, can coach and doing well at Sydney
Ross Lyon a chance, has his faults but could put some steel in them
Buckley nope
Hird definitely nope

Others are assistants
Caracella - likely to get a gig somewhere
Burns
Giansiracusa
Harvey - too late
McVeigh
Yze
Kingsley

Some solid names in there but the hierarchy would be thinking “with this list and demographic we should be serious contenders” so they’ll throw the moon at Clarko with proven alternatives like Pyke and Lyon next you’d think. Too risky to go with just an assistant

Chicken dinner

 

[Sanders]

Was he pushed or did he jump?

He was told the jig is up at the end of the year, and decides to go now

Understandable given the demands on a coach day to day. You can’t easily do that knowing that people will stop listening to you

After Geelong game, honest feedback was given and here we are

 

[Sanders]

North will be on the phone to Clarko reminding him that he used to play there

North’s got an incompetent coach that never should have been hired, and a rival might be able to swoop on the best option out there…

I.e. Noble should be very nervous

A glass of port to celebrate..

2050 hey? I’ll be…hmm…88!

Will be 89 with an intravenous feed of red wine into the body!

 

[Bay62]

Will be 89 with an intravenous feed of red wine into the body!

So only your age will have changed by then??

 

[arrowman]

93 here. Will be drinking nothing but Italian by then, if all goes to plan.

When I was a young lad, I worked out how old I would be in the year 2000.

Wow, 43. So old...

I'll be 75, I'll still be able to enjoy it

In nobles defence.... even god cannot do a thing with north's list.... if they haven't already.... they need to get rid of their list manager

Bit of a shame, hasn’t put a foot wrong in the coaching box all season.
