Is Dew about to get the lemon and sarse?

 

[ghostdog]

I feel as though we should help Ben King get out of there. It would be the right and benevolent thing to do.

Should they go after someone high profile like Choco or Bucks, or try another untested assistant?

I don't know, but maybe, after all this time, the solution should be to get rid of Cochrane. He's toxic.

I get the sense there’s deeper cultural and funding issues that need to be addressed as a priority.

I don’t even know if Dew is the problem. I personally hate the ‘sack the coach’ solution and media pile on in the lead up.

its the easy option as you don't need to spend draft capital getting a new coach. whatever the issue is Dew doesn't seem to be able to get past it

That's why I'd pivot to look at Cochrane. He's presiding over that s***show.

 

[bomberman500]

They really need to allocate 4 or 5 list positions to vets who are close to cooked but can provide that leadership needed.

GWS did it with Power, MacDonald, Brogan and Chad Cornes.
I think that had a major difference on the differing fortunes of both teams.

 

[Andronicus]

There must be a glitch with the AFL site.

It's stuck showing Richmonds quarter time score after the game has finished against the saints full time score.

He plays favourites for some ****ed up reason

Get's on the piss and pisses in public

AFL should go Lyon here is a mil fix the joint

Garbage. Tony Cochrane is the best thing to happen to that club since its they signed Gary Ablett Jr.

Evidence that supports your claim?
I see that he has helped grow its grass roots... what else?

 

[VelvetSledge]

Big Bud!

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Feel awful for Samson Ryan.

That’s a shocker.

No wonder Dimma wanted to loan him out to other teams.

Dees so good in close, great to watch

Nope. Since he has been there he has got the coin out of the government to give them the facilities needed for an AFL club and they have actually cleaned up the party culture that was there. The problem with the GC was the AFL tried to do it on the cheap to start with and that was never going to work. They are in the third season of a new rebuild. Not sure what people expected given how heavily they have invested in the last couple of drafts. They will need to improve on the field that is for sure but TC has done a power of work to get them in a position of field so that the on field results can be possible. His interview the other day was great. Answered all the hard questions and did not shy away from the fact they are all under the pump because they need to turn around the on field results. Right now they do not look any worse than the Lions did 6 years ago.

I said he was toxic. He publicly lambasted the coach who brought them to their highest finish, nearly a finals appearance, well after he had already been sacked, to cast public vision away from their own continued failings. Sorry, that's a toxic person.

Then he publicly labelled the playing group as rubbish. That's toxic, too, and unbecoming of a club president in my opinion. That's the stuff you deal with behind closed doors.

I'm not suggesting he hasn't been good for business, but they are two different things.

Horks might actually do us a solid here

 

[Macca18]

Hawthorn's form has really turned around since the Sydney game, they are not playing like the second last team on the ladder... at all.

The win in Launceston last weekend was a good one.

One infection from Sydney and no crowd today for Eagles Dogs game. A bit silly really

 

[Seb78]

Maybe spoke too soon

The big winners out of that decision will be the Bulldogs.

You have to be damn good to beat Eagles in Perth in front of a full house.
