Opinion Non-Crows AFL 8 - Daddy Donuts Delivers Dream Drubbing

[whattagun07]

I always shake my head when media commentators use the reasoning "who else is out there that would do a better job?" when defending Kern.
Could have used the same rationale to keep Leon Cameron

Or a Bucks over McRae
How did the Swans justify an 'untried' Longmire?
Hawks trying an untried Al Clarkson?

Seriously. It's the laziest excuse, and i've heard it multiple times.

 

[Geoffa32]

Yze the new Tigers coach

Right decision, IMO

About time he got a head coach role.

I wanted him a few times for us.

Awesome. Loved Yze as a player. Always a fave oppo player of mine.

[conVINCEd]

I like Yze and it feels like a fresh start for Richmond is a better option than retaining McQualter.

Geez Yze is pretty uninspiring to listen to in the media though, can only assume he’s more fired up away from media street.

 

[Sanders]

I reckon that's a fairly cynical view. Do you know any of the board members from either club personally? Spoken with them? As much as you bag Chappy (and rightfully so at times), he loved our club, he cried for it. I reckon he would have bled for it too. His problem was he was here too long. I think Olsen shows (now, I realise he's a politician) a great attachment to the Club and is fighting hard for us. Unfortunately, BOTH Clubs are still within the AFL constraints for another few years until the licenses are handed back. That will be the telling time I think, where they return the Club to the fans (or if they find a way not to).

Wanting good and being good for the club are very different things

 

[Sanders]

Rucci made a comment the other day which revealed where they are at… basically they still remember how bad it was before Ken.

Their survival and business plan relies on them being in or around the top 8 and the danger of a bottom 4 finish leading to multiple bottom 4 finishes would be a disaster for them.

Obviously avoiding a deliberate and complete rebuild like ours isn’t a bad thing but I guess it means playing it safe makes sense for them.

They want to win trade weeks, the draft, the preseason and ultimately sell memberships. They cant afford risking top 8 to be top 1.

Our rebuild wasn’t deliberate, but other than that you’re spot on

They can’t afford to get someone worse than Hinkley.

The risk of getting an untried assistant is very high, and there’s no point going down that road unless you have to

The Hinkley era has been pretty good for them.

Before Hinkley there was Primus! Yuk

 

[Scorpus]

Kochie sounded frustrated that he had to answer yet more questions about Ken.

Like he's been asked them over and over and over again. Like he has fans screaming at him over it on a daily basis. Like he has seen someone put a Sack Hinkley sign on the club.

The bloke is that deluded and that insulated from any external criticism that when it starts seeping through he goes into a full blown defensive meltdown

 

[George Kramer]

David Koch actually reminds me of some posters on here who can’t handle club criticism. Get defensive, deflect, lie, compare to others, make excuses, try and shut down criticism and put posters on ignore.

It’s uncanny really.

May Kochie continue his long reign at Port with finals flopping Kenny.

Huge reach.

He sets narratives, whether you like him or not.

I like Rowie but what narratives does he set?

He's as influential as KG was

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I think one of Port's issues is managing expectations. They somehow got their supporters to believe they have this unbeatable list, so all of the criticism is directed at Ken and the admin for not removing Ken. The truth is you're unlikely to win a flag with a shitty backline and a cooked ruck. There are also question marks about their much vaunted midfield which got pansted when the pressure of finals was applied.

Honestly Dougal Howard would be a better & far cheaper (cap) buy.
