Every player is replaceable, culture is everything. Nick Stevens was our best midfielder in 2003.

Judging by their "discussion" on the boundary and subsequent benching for about 10 mninutes earlier in the season, it may be the other way around......Here's a scenario, hypothetically, if Butters would request a trade if Ken got sacked, would you rather we put up with Ken til he finishes his contract to keep Butters, or just cut Zak loose and move on?
Butters wouldn't need to request a trade to be coached by Ken. He'd just retire from the AFL and go and play Vic country football under his Daddy.Here's a scenario, hypothetically, if Butters would request a trade if Ken got sacked, would you rather we put up with Ken til he finishes his contract to keep Butters, or just cut Zak loose and move on

The problem is the club itself actually believes this. The players would move on fast if he left. It is all lip service whenever players state how much they love a coach. Of course they do. They want to get picked right? No player would come out and bag a coach while they are still at the clubButters wouldn't need to request a trade to be coached by Ken. He'd just retire from the AFL and go and play Vic country football under his Daddy.
The idea that any player is going to quit the club because Hinkley is no longer the coach is beyond laughable. Would people please stop giving it oxygen.
Certainly hypothetical, I don't think for one minute that Zak would leave just because of Ken anymore (if he ever would have).Here's a scenario, hypothetically, if Butters would request a trade if Ken got sacked, would you rather we put up with Ken til he finishes his contract to keep Butters, or just cut Zak loose and move on?
Which is why I'm not prepared to write off Todd Marshall just yet - as long as he gets a coach that allows him to play with confidence. But if Bottom Ten Ken keeps sprouting forth negativity throughout the club, Todd's career is in trouble.Yeah agreed, it seems any player showing ability has the confidence sucked out of them be Hinkley, this is why imo when things are not going our way, we don't have enough individuals that can turn things around and drag other players in, JHF and Butters tried but that fear stopped the rest.
WOOHOO
If you told me that we could be rid of Ken tomorrow, but we had to give up Rozee and Butters as well, I'd take the offer in a heartbeat (as long as he committed to taking Charlie and Chad with him!).Here's a scenario, hypothetically, if Butters would request a trade if Ken got sacked, would you rather we put up with Ken til he finishes his contract to keep Butters, or just cut Zak loose and move on?
Five minutes into pre-season with a fresh coach they'll be Kenny who? it's the biggest load of rubbish ever how attached they are to this bloke.
I mean a change from the loser culture of Ken is just too much to gain.Here's a scenario, hypothetically, if Butters would request a trade if Ken got sacked, would you rather we put up with Ken til he finishes his contract to keep Butters, or just cut Zak loose and move on?

So that's what I did wrong....not because I was shite.No player would come out and bag a coach while they are still at the club
I would pack Zaks bags myself and drive him to wherever he wanted to go.Here's a scenario, hypothetically, if Butters would request a trade if Ken got sacked, would you rather we put up with Ken til he finishes his contract to keep Butters, or just cut Zak loose and move on?
Yep - no player is bigger than the club. If it means the current Alberton administration disappears off the face of the earth, then I'd volunteer to help Zac pack his bags.As much as I like Zak, I would be shopping him around in an instant in that scenario. At the very least, it would give the new coach something to work with and it would mean not having someone committed to the club on the list.
Commitment to the club is an non-negotiable for me.
