It's the supporters fault. Nothing is acceptable except happy clapping mindless drones. You'll sit there and watch our gormless mediocre brand of football and goalless quarters and you'll do it with a smile on your face.

We had an average home crowd of over 43k in 2014 and didn't make money. It's the supporters fault for thinking going to the games, paying their membership fees and giving the club money is enough to not go into record debt. It's unrealistic for us to expect our administration to manage our finances correctly.

Graham is just saying what all Crows fans are saying - Ken must stay. Because if (heaven forbid) we replace him with someone competent, we might actually improve.

 

[allrighty]

Would you like to swap coaches?

Ha- pass! I have had my issues with Scott. Both stubborn as, maybe turned the corner this year, who knows?

You're welcome to post here I was just confused by your choice of thread to ask a question about Ollie's injury.

Sorry big day yesterday, travelled 4,600kms. A bit weary last night. Cheers

I like to think we are all quite friendly... Unless people come here being a w***er... (Which U haven't done)

Just chuck a sack Hinkley every now and then and you will be well liked..

Come over our way with a sack Scott and the same will happen.

Ok so no deal on Chris Scott then... do you have anybody else you could trade for him? A runner or water boy perhaps?

How about a physio? Our players keep getting injured. Just leave Gary Rohan behind please.

'Instant success'

It's been ten years you total and utter campaigner

 

[EskimoPAFC]

From listening to Kane this morning I don't think Ken is getting sacked this year.

I think:
1. The finals trigger in his contract is true
2. The club don't want Monty as senior coach so there isn't much point trying him as interim
3. There isn't an easy way to fill the coaches box again once he goes

So they figure its easier to just sacrifice this year, get Lemmey, clear out at end of year and start again fresh next year with a new coach's box.

So we've reached the point where we're being gaslit by Graham Cornes - Graham freaking Cornes - into thinking that expecting to be higher than 18th on the ladder is too much and that a team that has made two successive preliminary finals does not have the talent to be higher than 18th on the ladder or kick a goal in the first 82 minutes of a game.

F*** all of these people but more to the point f*** the people who run our club for happily turning us into the St Kilda/Fremantle of South Australia.

In other words, you can lock in a Port wooden spoon, and crowds of less than 10,000 by the end of the year.

New coach in 2023 or 2024? 2024 is inconceivable.

Probably.

I really want to see us get 17th. Need to everything possible to avoid the spoon.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

2023.

The finals trigger would mean we could get rid of him in the off-season and not pay a cent.

We will lose way more money than sacking him with this plan. Why not move him now and get a replacement early, clarko or whoever and let them direct and get to work in the background and plan the draft and trading etc.

Maybe round 23 against the Scum will be the wooden spoon play off.

We have to consider that we may already be doing some of this in the background.

Finals clause would be negligent. GF or **** off.

Has any club gone from finishing second to the spoon next year?

I seriously don't get people that believe it is the players that are the issue and not Hinkley.

2 people yesterday made and stood by the “Ken can’t kick the goals” comment to me. Mind blowing

 

[StrappingTape]

Yeah which is the right thing to do. I'd believe it if there where rumours in AFL media popping up and it makes no sense to not have Montgomery coach and get some senior experience as the interim whilst we bleed hundreds of thousands each match day.

 

[Schulzenfest]

100%. Crowds have already dropped off 7k from Round 1, and the longer Ken stays the worse it will get. We can't afford not to sack him.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

At this point finals clause is simply irrelevant beyond the fact that it means we can get rid of him at no cost. We aren't finishing above 14th this season.
