I defend Koch's off-field ventures regarding the Club.
correctimundo.Have heard that Longmire is not a great game day coach - and has a tendency to 'freeze' in the moment, and not make any moves when things go wrong (sound familiar?).
Horse is lucky that he has had a series of really strong assistants next to him on game day to run the show, Dew being one of them.
Don't worry there are a few thorough campaigners at the Crom. I can't imagine its a great club to be in.It must suck being a Crows fan but they do things so much better off field, compared to the amateurish ways of the new Port Adelaide.
Well done Koch and the rest of you idiots, you have turned the greatest sporting club in Australia to mediocre laughing stock. Other clubs supporters take the piss that we will be stuck with Hinkley again.
The club has alienated itself from the fans. We go again, with no explanation about another finals exit. What irritates me is the Happy Clappers don't give a shit, as long as they have something to fill in their social lifes.
Pathetic top to bottom. Richardson you would have to the worst, weakest CEO ever employed be the club.
Why do we keep flogging a dead horse when nobody else, past players, coaches seem to give a shit.
A weak club full of excuses for failure, enjoy being 2nd best to Crows, now I believe, that is Port Adelaides rightful place in SA footy, the poor cousin. Like Ken says, you get what you deserve.
Spot on - and the other coaches know it too. Chris Scott called us an emotional club after we beat them this season.His only motivation is emotion, usually the emotions surrounding his impending sacking, which is why we're so insanely bipolar in terms of when we turn up. He panics in big games and the team panics.
Emotion just doesn't work as a motivator. It's not sustainable. The players actually have to believe they can win.
Well known in Vic,if ken goes Butters goes,seeya ButtersRichardson told the AGM that they fear a player exodus in the event Ken leaves.
Koch believes if we ever have another truly bad year we’ll be transported back to windswept AAMI Stadium in Sunday twilight.
We’re beholden to preconceptions and feelings that tip the scales in favour of Hinkley’s ongoing presence by default.

We're not winning a premiership with a Hinkley / Butters combo so we might as well have neither.Well known in Vic,if ken goes Butters goes,seeya Butters

No end date,make Top 4 next year he's going nowhere,last 12 years proves thatThe club is weak if they don't sack him now he doesn't deserve to coach another year. But if the board is split a sacking is unlikely but also an extension beyond next year is also unlikely so there will be at least an end date for Ken.
Carr will coach in 2026
In the meantime all new appointments eg. Assistant coaches must have sole input from Carr and footy committee only no involvement from Ken I suspect this is already happening with the approach to Dew
Once 2026 comes the next steps are to get rid of the others who have held this club back we all know who they are. They can't be let off scott free even after Ken leaves.
Dew was pretty much running the Swans on game day while he was there. Have heard that Longmire is not a great game day coach - and has a tendency to 'freeze' in the moment, and not make any moves when things go wrong (sound familiar?).
Horse is lucky that he has had a series of really strong assistants next to him on game day to run the show, Dew being one of them.
Love butters... But if that's how it plays out... I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.Well known in Vic,if ken goes Butters goes,seeya Butters

I don't even think he's a good minor round coach. He is just given a group of players with the right draw allows them to make the finals.I think we've all worked out by now that Hinkley is a very good minor round coach but a hopeless finals coach.
Dew had much bigger issues at SUNS to deal with, seemed to have them tracking in a least the right direction, and the greatest coach of the modern era still wasn't able to do much better than Dew. I feel like Dew has laid a lot of ground work for Hardwick.
As an assistant Dew has been excellent and good results have followed him. He was very highly rated at Sydney, hence why he got the job at the SUNS.
Harwick did no better this yearI'm happy to be shot down in flames but Dew was a worse coach than Hinkley at the Suns.
Make that 6/7 Finals.....He embarrassed the fan base by getting absolutely flogged in 2/3 finals. Not by pretending to be an aeroplane.

I've never seen evidence that Koch's off field work with sponsors is nothing more to do with the overall growth of the game.That’s what I said. Peninsula Boy went beyond it. I disagree.
