Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[footy4ever]

They probably sack him the week before we play them and they get the 'new coach' bounce

The %age of pessimist in me just surged, and I was thinking this before you posted it hahaha.

 

[Geoffa32]

Sorry, that’s not an argument. It’s fantasy

And as for that article, were you hoping no one read it? Has nothing to do with the Suns or the Suns appointing Dew. Why did you post it?

The point is Dew was the AFLs favoured son to coach at GC.

He was cheap and deemed to be one of the best assistants, passing their academic courses.

Ken was never in the picture. He stooged Kochie and KT into thinking he was in demand.

Ouch... Didn't want to say that out loud.

But was thinking the same...

Roos are so bad and Noble so toxic that the AFL should give them the $ to pay him out and employ Clarko to steady the ship over the last half a season. Forget pointy end priority picks, actually help the club and the players that are already there.

I may just need a good hard slap,
But Ive actually found a few of Kane's recent takes to be on the money.
Also thought it was good of him to poke fun at himself by dying his hair. I had the same sentiments towards Ginnivan initially after seeing the GoPro stuff, but I also now agree that it's good to have a pest/personality like his in the game.

Media vs Norf - well I'm not a huge fan of Footy classified style reporting, but norf are butchering it ATM.

Is it Ken or Port getting their media plebs to create fake demand for the GWS job?

Similar to the fake demand for the GC job Ken (and his manager) created to get a new contract a few years back.


No doubt Ken is angling for an extension. And seeing they won't may not make the Eight, is he using GWS as leverage of the business mastermind Kochie.


Or are Port creating this fake demand to show their Lemmings their coach is wanted and they better keep him.


Just seems odd that the Crocmedia Crew of Caro, Kano and Rowey are driving a Ken to GWS narrative, after praising his work at Port for so long.

It must be for leverage only, surely GWS can’t be genuinely interested in him

The one thing Ken fails at consistently is getting a team through a PF and into a GF

Not exactly the skill set that GWS needs right now

 

[Bay62]

Another whack for Caro.

Going well

Lately Caro has been striking me as a modern day seance medium

“I think Ken might be going to GWS..or possibly North..I’m hearing that Noble..or is it Rutten..anyway someone is talking to me..because I think they’re not happy..or is it sad..or maybe joyful..anyway there’s a lot of emotion there..and I think that someone is going to do something somewhere..sometime…”

She’s hearing things and seeing things and just talking waffle to fill the air

It all generates content and discussion.

No doubt all made up. People lap it up though.

Two questions:

Did Lloyd switch sides on that panel? I’m sure he’s usually at the other end.

Do you, like me, check to see if the video is on 0.5 speed when Ross Lyon talks?

Haha, that big inside midfielder we need to bulldoze the opposition...

That in a nutshell is literally how she talks on Footy Classified.

That’s neither true or relevant. And that lousy article does not nothing to support it either

He was cheap and deemed to be one of the best assistants, passing their academic courses.

You know if you make something up, literally pluck it out your arse, it doesn’t become true just by repeating it

 

[Bay62]

From the Port board, a rewrite of the NM club song. (Done on the assumption that Ken is going there to coach, but applicable right now I think)

They will win a flag before both our clubs.

There will be a V(A)FL assisted clean out and they will be contending around 2029.

Wonderful to see Matty Roberts selected for his 1st game by the Swans. People might recall I didn’t mind him and thought he wasn’t too bad a player ha ha

Full Forward for a big Victorian Club.

Oh wow

If only this had happened at the crows.

 

[LeftyLuke]

Ouch. That pick is going swimmingly. Not picking McDonald and then losing Horne after two years. Awkward.

A lot of people believe that Caro used to get most of her leaks and info directly from Vlad, but once Gill took over it all dried up.

That's why they reckon she now comes across as being clueless and almost always seems to miss the mark.
