We really should do a run of a hundred or so Start The Carr banners.
They couldn't complain because technically we are just supporting a club employee.
But it would ramp up pressure on Ken.

It's not that complicated.
We want ruthless winners.
Cahill was willing to step over Ebert to get the top job back.
Choco was willing to step over Cahill to take the top job.
From the outside it appears that Carr is showing that ruthless desire to be the top guy, which you need to be a great senior coach.

sucking a lemon
he kicked Hinkley out of the box, that's not sitting there like a good little boy waiting your turn, that's taking action before he even has the pay cheque

Hinkleys teams are normally out of the contest from about the 5 min mark of the 1st quarter.
The amount of finals that are over 5 mins in is unbelievable.
And yet here we are in 2025 and he’s still coaching.. disgusting

If all you care about is continuing your employment in the role, and starting your holidays as soon as possible in September...then yes,you will have a team that isn't managed/coached well and will freeze in any significant games, including finals.
In his early years he probably saw every year in the role as a bonus, and saw winning finals as a way of prolonging his career ($$'s). Then he becomes philosophical about after some sad personal news and figures that sport and success dont matter (but money still does).

There's been 1 time that is true.
In 2013, we lead by 4 goals at half time and down by just 7 points at 3/4 time. So nope.
In 2014, we were on top early in the Prelim and the game went down to the wire.
In 2017, the game went to extra time.
In 2020, Prelim Final against Richmond was close the whole way through.
2021: that statement is true for the Bulldogs, if a bit hyperbolic since the scored their second goal just after 5 minutes.
2023: Lions were up by just 11 points at quarter time and we actually took the lead in the second quarter. It was after this that we Brisbane turned it on, kicking the next 3 for a solid gap at half time. And we got blown away in the second half.
GWS we led for most of the first quarter. It wasn't until the second quarter after we kicked a goal to take back the lead that they went on their big run.
2024: Geelong, they got a small gap with an early jump, we pegged them back and took the lead in the second quarter. Then they went on a run.
Sydney we led for the first 10 minutes. Before we moronically gifted them three goals with stupid unforced errors. We were the better team for the first quarter of the game.
If only Josh was coaching this year.....
