The Suns have set on Dew

[flamethrower]

Ah, it all makes sense now why I saw Bevo out polishing his surfboard this morning.

The Suns sure picked a bad time to play Collingwood and Port Adelaide in consecutive weeks - but it wasn't like they lost by 20 goals to the 17th placed team and 28 goals to the 15th placed team. That is when you question whether you have the right guy coaching your team. Beat St Kilda this week and the Suns are still an outside chance to make the finals.

When you hear the President/Chairman/CEO of (insert club name) say that the coach has 'the complete and total support of the board', in reality, you know that the coach concerned doesn't (in political terminology) have the numbers for the job and is now a dead man walking. Chalk another victory up for Caroline Wilson.

 

[beema limapep]

Hardwick will go there.

Dusty may follow (with my blessing if that's what he wants).

And Carlton will miss out on a decent coach again

 

[JackFlash]

How is Caroline Wilson at fault in this?

She has been gunning for Dew all year and stirring the pot with people who are in positions of power at the Suns who are highly dubious individuals.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

A little surprised. It has been a long time without really achieving anything but to be fair, I don’t think they’ve ever had the list to achieve anything. They’ve always sort of finished in the range I’ve expected them to. Maybe even above what I’ve expected the last two seasons.

Thought he would’ve seen out the year at least but they must be confident that they’ve got a big name lined up and wanted to get in early. Think they’ve been building well the last couple of seasons and I think with Anderson and Rowell entering their fifth year and a bunch of other young players getting to similar stages that it looks like a good job to have and they should be finals contenders for the foreseeable future.

6 years and no finals = Sacked

Dew has done well to last beyond 4 years with that performance
Dimma will have them playing finals 2025 and beyond at the latest

 

[M Malice]

Chris Scott really?

Wonder what they would trade us for our coach

Knowing how the Suns do business probably their 3 top 15 rated academy kids this year..... + pick 7.

Scott took over a basket case in Essendon and will probably make finals. If Hardwick takes I can see him being successful very quickly I can see them just making the 8 next year.

Straight Swap

We'll take Dew as an Assistant to Josh Carr

They can have Ken Hinkley.

A pretty astounding take on a coach who's got 13 on the bounce. At least wait until this season ends in a Prelim or less before dumping him!

I thought the usual people would be in here baying for the GC to be wound up and moved...

Was not disappointed.

It's very tiresome.

Name names then.

Correct weight.

How come Caroline Wilson knows about Dew getting sacked before Dew does? Would it be a Victorian cabal that runs the club now?

Let me guess now they aren't interested in taking Hinkley off our hands because no Victorian club would touch "Supercoach Hinkley".

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Just changing the coach won't fix Gold Coast imo. Need to do what Essendon did last year.

So your coach has won 13 straight and sitting equal top of the ladder and you want him gone some people are hard to please

I just realised why Port supporters are so interested in getting rid of Hinkley, he's a Victorian.

Can we get suspended if we call her the third letter of the alphabet?

 

[PowerLil]

Of course it's because he's Victorian. The fact he holds the record as the longest serving coach at one club never to make a grand final has absolutely nothing to do with it. ( soon he will break the all time record )

Currently on the longest winning streak for Port Power of ALL TIME.

Kenny Hinkley IS Port Power.

 

[The 747]

They don't really want him gone, they want to be able to blame everything that goes wrong on the Victorian.

And they want to live in the dream that Port would dominate the competition if not for that the evil Victorian holding them down.

Maybe she took her teef out and got under Evans desk. How dare anyone call her out

An astute take on a coach that hasn't made the grand final in 10 attempts despite being given every opportunity.

was so fat. The stress must have got to the poor bloke. Hope he gets another gig

Nope its because he's a loser.

Poor Hinkley - "They kicked me out of the box" The very week we started on a 13 in a row winning streak after 10 years of mediocre. Why would we want him gone? A man who hates the club supporters calling them white noise. But I'm hard to please we should be happy with mediocre.
