Man, just shut the club down. Mob of losersHere are the main points made by David Koch:
- we've had bad luck, it was dark in the changerooms after the Prelim with all the players we didn’t have playing;
- it was an enormous effort to make finals, but we need a bit of luck;
- we’re younger than the baby Hawks, we have so much potential and we have so much to build on;
- Ken and team can hold their heads up high, we just need to take next step, we play consistent finals;
- comment by the hosts about the mood surrounding Hinkley, with hardcore fans putting up stickers but there's a rethinking of relationship between fans and Ken, where fans are begrudgingly showing respect for Ken for keeping on turning up;
- his performance is an incredibly successfully coach, hasn’t made a Grand Final, he deserves it, we deserve it;
- last year Koch got hammered at AGM by core fans, but next day it was family day, and was approached by 600 people to thank him for what a great job he’s doing at the club;
- we’re a good club, but not a great club, we have consistency, we just need to take the next step;
- we’ve got to be competitive, we play finals consistently and if luck goes our way we will get the ultimate prize;
- "Has Ken told you that he’s returning?"
- there's exit i.e. end of season interviews with players and then coaches by the end of the week, and next week they'll review the season of the club as a whole;
- "My answer is Ken has a contract for next year, as far as I am concerned that’s it. I deal in facts."
That's all I could manage to write down and I think encapsulates the gist of what he said. I am sure a full transcription will come out soon.
