I think it would be reasonable to include the precursor "I've lost my faith" thread in your analysis. That would take this history back another few years.

He's contracted.
And the forward line problem was the same before Chad was there. If you're going to criticise him for the failures of the forward line you probably should also praise him for the development of Georgiades over the last 12 months.

Imagine the roars of the crowd if he stays on in 2025 and gets off to a bad season start…the pressure on the club would have to be unbearable

I guess some people are just private, but a 12 year AFL coach's wife having literally never been sighted at anything at the club ever is bizarre to me, especially when half the family is employed there.

Wait...has his wife never been at the club? Not even the b&f etc..?
If so that's fuking ridiculous.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Whatever way you want to slice it, Chad Cornes is a winner. One of our greatest ever AFL players and knows what it takes to deliver a premiership. For me I want more winners and less losers in our coaching roles.

2015.

The third thread is still open, but no one posts there since 2019.

Any truth to the rumour that Surjan is coming back to the club as an assistant when Carr is coach?

Have heard some horrible things about Surjan’s performance at North. Pass.

The club reaction to pressure is to extend his contract.

All that free food, too. Maybe Kenny and the kids stuff it in their Stubbies pockets and take it home.

If he quits then surely he forgoes his 2025 salary. If he is sacked he would be entitled to at least some of not all of his final year dosh.

He won't quit.

It will get presented as a lovey dovey mutual parting of ways for him to save face.

I don't care if they lay out the red carpet for him as he departs for the last time - just as long as he doesn't come back!!!

It depends if he quits or he "quits".

No. I do when I switch to English.

No momento em Uruguaiana, 20°C, chuva.

Currently in Uruguayana, 70°F, raining.

In English, I use inches, feet, yards, and miles; Fahrenheit; am/pm; ounces and pounds; etc.

And that won't change until Ken wins a preliminary final?

Maybe she has been and just hasn't been photographed? But I don't remember ever seeing or hearing from her and google turns up nothing.

Again, people have a right to be private, but it's just odd.

 

[rogerjames]

Hasn't it got to the point for you that it's all hilarious? It has for me.

Unfortunately no. It hurts way too much.

This is literally a recreation of a conversation I had on We are Port Adelaide FB Page. Some scenes and replies were changed for dramatic effect.

After the straight sets exit last year, I had a woman ask me “who ya gonna get” — but in a manner that inferred nobody wanted to come here regardless.

“Okay couch coach. Who would you replace him with?”

— “The best possible candidate. There are a stack of quality young assistants who would leap at the chance. We can’t keep wasting seasons and players’ careers assuming Ken will magically deliver if we’re just patient enough”

“You’re deflecting. Name them. Who are all these coaches lining up to coach Port Adelaide?”

Rucci’s non-stop dragging of the club and harking back to 2012 in service of lionising Hinkley has permanently mindf#%ked these types into believing we’re Shakhtar Baghdadelaide, and Ken is a sweet old gent sacrificing himself to stick around on everyone’s behalf.

 

[philreich]

Things can change quickly but it highlights how stupid that decision was. Most of us on here knew it & that's what's so infuriating.

We'll never know for sure, but maybe that decision ultimately cost us a grand final berth. At the very least, we'd know by now if Carr can coach.

 

[rogerjames]

Agree, i'd be happy with that. He hates losing, and we need to stop treating our reserves like reserves and start treating them like a side that should win.

So much this except the Cornes bit. Don't want a Cornes near PA. Always ends badly.

Also the "Ken has never had a great list" brigade are chiming in thick and fast.

Umm.....ok.

You gotta laugh or you'll cry

 

[PremiershipNugget]

Not at all mate.
Should read, if Carr is coach in 2025 then Goldsack will 100% be there under him.

Thanks Damo

 

[MrPlow]

If Ken is demanding full payment of his 2025 salary to depart, then I’d be coming back with the question of whether he wants to be seen by the public as being sacked vs walking off on his own accord.

If the latter, then it will cost the forfeiture of half his salary.

I like your thinking, but I'm happy to pay it out if he just ****s off

I don't want to waste another season on this pleb and if it costs us his full salary then sobeit
