"No decision has been made" but Koch nailed his colours to the mast again last night, lest there was any doubt Hinkley will coach in 2025.
The B&F was either a showing of hubris or (more likely) confirmed that the people in charge of the club are comfortable with the status quo.
It's over, move on.

A coach isn't getting sacked after the trade period, it's done. Chewy's sources who I'm sure believed they were going to meet to discuss the coaching situation have been hoodwinked into playing the waiting game but the other side of the debate who never intended to even entertain any discussion on the coach.
At best we'd see a succession plan but Ken has made it abundantly clear he won't agree to that, so that's not happening either.
And, if we win a few games in a row, the likes of Cornes and Caro will push for an extension. The only way we fight that is by making games as toxic as.possible. Sack Hinkley banners everywhere.

Me either. I was confident that he was gone this time. I now won’t believe it until it actually happens. Spineless pricks.

I've been here before. Don't stick your neck out with inside info for internet clout because as soon as its bad news its all your fault and they want to cut your balls off.
People want the inside info but as soon as something doesnt go to plan you get hung for it. Fwiw, what Chewy has been saying has been right. Ken staying doesn't change that. Koch is balls deep with Ken as is Davies, as is Bitchardson. Note Ken specifically mentioned them as backing him. He didn't mention anyone on the board. It's not as clear cut at that level and that is where his source(s) are.
I would hazard his sources are one or both of Snowden and Tredrea. These guys are 100% not on board with Ken.
In any case, we didn't get the result we wanted. Yet. Either way, don't shoot the messenger. It's a complex situation that unfortunately looks like it will run its full course before we get a chance for change we so richly need. I felt physically sick after the B&F. Truly. It was the most unprofessional event i'd ever seen from the club. It addressed none of the failures and took no responsibility for our short comings. All a big mass own fart huffing cringe fest.
It might be gut wrenchingly awful now, but trust me when they all get the ass which is inevitable - we can bathe in their blood and their legacy will be nothing but a meme. The wheel turns, but for us it has turned very, very slowly.

Loving that
Davies staying was a big poo in the kettle.
Do you mean he will be gone by Wednesday?

Which is exactly why I think the best way for Koch to go about it is to tell Ken that 2025 is his last year no matter what the circumstance, then Josh Carr gets his job.
Hinkley will more than likely spit the dummy and walk out, that way everybody wins.

Don't be so sure about that. This is a unique situation in that the future head coach is already at the club. There's no especially good reason why they couldn't make a move on him between now and when pre season training begins.

The nost plausible outcome, as is afl convention, is that in the final year of a contract the moment the wheels fall off, or look like falling off, the coach gets the arse. 6 games down at round 10? Arse. Public pressure helps too. Haven't seen that in the afl for any coach tbh.
One flag in five GFs and Sydney are under the pump…are the players not tough enough, is the highly respected coach good but not good enough, is the culture not capable of winning when the pressure on.
Port - nought from twelve, no GFs, consistently fragile in finals and Koch says “nearly there…”
And here we go again. Raising hope. With all due respect that sounds ridiculous. Don't you think it would be better to post when it's fact & not speculation given what's gone down in this thread. The last thing we need is to be fighting among ourselves. Or is that part of the plan. As I said the only person I trust is Tredders.
That's rubbish.
If we have a new coach there is a load of work to be done on our game plan BEFORE pre season training begins so that it can be drilled from day 1.

Yes there is. It’s called Koch. Are you seriously suggesting there’s a chance that he and the board are somehow going to about face after what he described last night as a “highly successful season”?
Your unique situation would have to involve some almighty board revolution and that won’t happen.

No way this mob would suck Hinkley's dick one night and then sack him days later.
