Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[ftmch]

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

Nothing surer

 

[DJ75]

The Sack Hinkley thread is not happy GWS pulled the plug first

Hinkley is going nowhere. They will sneak in the 8, Port will declare it an incredible achievement and Hinkley will be safe as houses.

 

[MRB37]

GWS have super talent, but a horrible culture (very front running and selfish).
As we saw in the 'Making their mark' doco, Cameron is a terrible coach.

Funnily enough, I suspect that Nicks would be the perfect coach for GWS. He's excellent at getting the players on board, building culture and having them give 100%. The talent level would probably make up for his lack of tactical nous.

Could we give them Nicks now, leave Burns to coach the rest of the year and then add Clarkson as coach?


Leave me alone. I can dream.

May have been why they hired him in the first place. From what Nicks described, he was very much a "filter" for Cameron.

Kochie was already on 7 news last night (his weekly 'inner sanctum' segment) praising the team for their resilience this year.

Leon Cameron stepping down

https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/shock-as-gws-giants-coach-leon-cameron-quits-midway-through-the-season/news-story/8cd5f94a2128459744f32b8d229cbd62

Respect to Leon for that. OK, we can say he should have gone years ago, and that he's jumping before he's pushed, but he's done the right thing by his club and that's an honourable thing to do.

Now - to the Sack Hinkley thread!

Have to be pretty resilient to beat West Coast, St Kilda in Cairns and Footscray B grade.

a three year deal that will be activated shortly

Clubs on pre-agent watch, former No.3 pick a trade target

He shouldn't be there at all in a developing side

He was supposed to add to this "star laden" midfield they've got.

They've fired less shots than ours, and ours isn't very good.

Greenwood, Atkins, Hartigan...there's some ex-Crow list cloggers getting about.

Harto retired didn't he ??

It was baffling the positive media response when they picked up Greenwood, ripping on GC. At least it would be baffling if they weren't so blatantly Vic biased.

Having said that the experience/age mix at North is up the creek.

 

[jackster83]

Harto retired didn't he ??

Don't think so. He's still playing VFL and is on the Hawks list.

Do we have to? He is the joke that keeps on giving!

I feel like “pre agency” is a thing made up by the media. Can’t think of any deals done where pre agency was a factor.

 

[ams4crows]

How may of us would take Hartigan right now over Frampton?

 

[jenny61_99]

How are they different?

 

[hey shorty]

How may of us would take Hartigan right now over Frampton?

Not many.

They're both no good.

 

[ams4crows]

Not many.

They're both no good.

Hartigan was a good defender, Frampton doesn't know how to defend at all

 

[hey shorty]

Hartigan was a good defender, Frampton doesn't know how to defend at all

He was sometimes.

Just like Frampton is sometimes a very good kick of the footy

 

[skam85]

Hartigan was a good defender, but couldn't kick.
Frampton is a good kick but can't defend.

 

[GreyCrow]

Congrats to Cameron for going out on his terms.

Not many coaches get to do that

He's always struggled to impact a game outside a contest, but he's taken it to a new level at the Roos now. I imagine if Cunnington was with the team still he wouldn't have gotten the deal, but they wanted a bigger body to support the youngsters, so signed him up.

Was he pushed or did he jump?

 

[arrowman]

Was he pushed or did he jump?

Probably he saw the writing on the wall, at the very least. But he's done the right thing by the club, by not hanging on to the bitter end, and giving them a head start in the search for a new coach.
