That article by Tom Morris saying that this is the case is one of the worst articles I’ve read this week in AFL media, and that’s saying something.

It’s a typical Morris article, he states it as fact then mentions it’s because Wayne Campbell ‘could’ be interviewing people for roles in the GWS footy department but he might not be as he is not certain to be at GWS in 2020 either :rolleyes:


That headline is a joke too - just a list of search-engine-friendly phrases. I guess that’s where online news is at.

Tom also understands Nicks has been ‘beating off candidates from around the country‘ which is disturbing.
 
Dillon says coaching announcement Monday or Tuesday, then a few days later the review.

Which is a stupid way to go about it.

Get the review out of the way, clear air and then coach announcement signals moving forward, but this is the Crows.

He’s also hinted Burton is gone which is harsh as no hanging offence, what a fu**head.

Hinted Campo also gone

Yeah but it's Kym Dillon so what do you expect.

He thought it was harsh when the Crows sacked Neil Craig.

I think Dillon has that old school boy's club/SANFL mindset where you stay loyal and back in the boy's club and think that people sitting in the same chair for thirty years is a good thing.

I think we have to refrain from using the great man Phil Walsh as a measuring stick to head coaches. He was going to be an out and out star coach. He had something special about him. We aren’t going to find a coach that inspires the supporter base like he did. But we can trust the process and understand that Nicks has his own traits that make him a worthy AFC head coach. The club would have gathered mountains of data, which would have included many player testimonials. And we need a bloke that can galvanise the wounded blokes on our list. Add some new assistants to the mix and it’s happy days.
Honestly, can we stop it with references to Phil Walsh as a "great man" and a "star coach".

I say this with the greatest respect, but he was only with us for short period of time, way to short to be making any informed judgements on how good he was or could have been.

I think we all loved the direction he was taking the club, but we never got to see whether that actually translated to success or not.

FWIW, in Neil Craig's early days he developed us into an almost unbeatable team (Mark Thompson's words, not mine). How is Neil Craig remembered by this board now?

The media and wider public had no idea who our coach would be in 2011 or 2014, it's just that social media wasn't as rabid then so it didn't feel as pronounced. Once again they don't know this time, and they're going absolutely batshit crazy.

You were silly enough to believe them initially. Don't be silly enough to lose your cool now that someone else without a clue has said otherwise.

No one knows which coach is actually good or not, and no one knows who is going to get the job. Wait until the announcement and then keep an open mind.

Port have done absolutely nothing since 2014 so why would you want an ex assistant from that club? Then again malcom blight did say right now, we're a mediocre football club. I would have to agree with him. I mean, they need an external review to even know if they need to sack burton. Clearly no idea.

Why would you not want yze? He's the current match day strategy assistant and every time we play hawthorn they kick our ass.
