Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 13 - Another Crack At This

[Enviable Tradition]

Cassisi is on Team Carr.

If all the people who were supposed to be on team Carr were on team Carr, we would have Carr.

Something doesn't add up.

Cassisi is flakey, but I don't know if he's had to truly pick a side either way at this point with respect to a firm decision.

A lot of them are flakey. Let's just see what happens in the coming period.

Yeah he'll be on the side of whoever wins.... (after the event).

All of a sudden I'm not so keen on Carr.

Cassisi and Carr were best mates in their playing days

Actually don't know if this is good or not

His eyes were wide open after that game in particular, though I'm not sure if he had turned already by then.



It's the only way at this point.



Let's see what happens.

People wanting to use their brain should be hypothetically asking the question, "why was Ken so headstrong and almost pleading when he asked for 'one last crack at it' on 5AA the day before the B&F?"

I would also suggest that the recent trade of Houston for draft picks to rejuvenate and rebuild the list on the fly is most definitely a move looking toward the future, which is completely incongruent with Ken's objective being in a contract year which is to win now and not have the club go backwards. There is a complete mismatch right now between the moves made by the list management team which are discussed ad nauseum by the footy committee - the very people who decide the senior coach's future, and the senior coach's objectives for 2025.

But these moves would make a lot more sense if you had a younger senior coach on a long term contract who is given enough rope such that the list management team build it in his image.

I won't be providing any further update until a decision is confirmed either way from my best source.

What decision? Ken coaching next year.

It was so the pivot year, we will likely regress next year and I’m thinking it gets ugly with fans wearing the brunt of it.

I’ll be posting my thoughts to al board members and management shortly - Richo can’t be bothered replying to my email so may as well go snail mail.

About all I can do but worth it.

Carr will have his work cut out - all the endless crap Ken got he won’t, feel sorry for him already - then if Butters wants out, i fear for the next few years.

After that unfolds all we will hear is Kane telling us how good we had it under Ken.

It’s almost like you see what’s going to happen already.

Cassisi just wants to back the future, Ken will only be here another 6 years.

The end of next year you mean?

Carr having Snowden at board level and possibly one day Cassisi + (others?), wouldn't want another Ken Hinkley situation where things go pear shaped and we are stuck with him for an eternity.

As long as Koch and co are in charge, does anyone truly believe we have a real shot at winning a flag no matter if it’s Carr or whoever as head coach?
