I dont mean to be ignorant but what does Dual Port Magpies coach mean??
If its to do with premierships then he has coached 3 premiership sides (96, 98, 99)

Yep, sorry my proof reading skills were not switched on that night. "Premiership" is the missing word. I'd also forgotten about the 96 flag, sorry Port fans!

He does not deserve it. He is a sook and cant handle losing.

That may well be the case, but it's worth analysing why he got the gig:
Mike Nunan turned down the job, wanting to concentrate on horse-training.
The SANFL, in it's infinite wisdom, decided not to appoint a coach who wasn't already coaching one of the SANFL clubs. This is a pity, I for one think Russell Ebert would have been the logical replacement - anyone know what he is up to these days, not coaching the Teal Cup team still?
Regardless, the SANFL once again turned to the existing league coaches. In previous years the job has first been offered to the coach of the reigining premiers. Obviously this could not be the case with Jonas leaving for St. Kilda. Nor could the runners-up coach be considered, since Hammo was also poached - by North Melbourne, IIRC.
Logically Phil Carman would have been the next choice - maybe he was offered it and refused; maybe the SANFL in it's infinite wisdom had other reasons for not considering him.
Thus it makes some sense to offer the job to Williams. The previous occupant of the position did not want it; and those who were better qualified for the job could not (or in Carman's case - would not) be considered.
Perhaps Williams doesn't deserve it - his appointment is as much due to circumstance as anything else. But if you didn't give it to Williams, who would you give it to?
For all I care - anything that takes Williams' mind of coaching the Magpies is A Good Thing ;-)

Oh of course. He is only one of the best coaches going around in the SANFL at the moment, he MUST be bad mustn't he!!
Blueboy I think you are the sook and can't handle losing. You should be improving in this area as you get a lot of practice - SANFL record for consecutive wooden spoons.
You are the loser pal !
Uncle Steve, you are spot on. Williams is the most qualified man for the gig.
I'm not sure exactly what happened, but there was a bit of a falling out between Ebert and the SANFL a couple of years ago. It was either something to do with an origin game or the structure of the Teal Cup team.

This coming from someone who supports Phil Carman, the biggest sook and loser in the history of the game. The man wh oblamed Ports abundance of AFL talent for losing the 98 Grand Final, instead of wondering why players such as Jarrod Twitt kicked 5 behinds and 2 on the full from a 35m radius thruout the day. The man who accused Port of playing the man to win the grand final.
The sooner Carman quits writing for the Advertiser the better!

even as a Centrals fan I think Williams is without a doubt the pick of the available SANFL coaches for the State Team. Wouldn't someone like Cornesy or Cahill also be suitable?

It's obivious you know nothing about Phil Carman's track record before he came to Sturt. Do you remember that incident Carman had with the umpire when he was playing in the reserves at Essendon. If you ask me Carman has the runs on the board as far being a sook and bad loser not Williams.

Carman is the messiah. Don't forget it. At least we dont have to worry about any Sturt players being injured in the State game, theres no chance any will be be picked with Williams as the coach, no matter how well they are playing. Actually if Williams was smart he'd play all Sturt players so Port would have a chance of beating them. Lucky Williams has the IQ of a pot plant.

It's a well known fact that all Port Adelaide people are bad at losing.
Sturt on the other hand are good losers. They'd have to be, they've had enough practice...

Was that the same game he cracked the supporter on the other side of the fence as well?? Yeah what a great role model to have as a coach. But then again Sturt were desperate...

How could I forget it? It's one of the funniest things I've read this week!
Carman the messiah? Is'nt this bloke on a one year contract? Didnt he have to fight and plead with the board to get his one year contract? Were'nt there very strong rumours all year last year that he was gonna get the flick and that the board had the shits with him? Didnt he also have a punch up with a Sturt supporter after a game last year?

Yep and william's excuses for last seasons departure centered around browns departure on a stretcher. Instead of crying about brown getting carried off due to an excellent bump, why didn't he question his team's discipline, commitment and courage when 2 so-called senior players ie .. chalmbers and carter threw punches at 2 of our blokes behind the play, these cowardly acts did nothing as when they occured the match was a forgone conclusion.
Is that whay you would call intimidation?

As a maggot supporter you are one to talk about incidents. How can you compare Phil Carman's record with people like granger, mahney and carter.

Exactly, we are the losers that knocked the maggots out of finals last year. So, in other words the maggots are the winners.

Phil Carmans team still finished above sookies team and it was Phil team that was responsible. Sooky would want to do something this year, because just ask egbert contracts were meant to be broken.

HAHAHA. Your comparing Mahney to Carman!!! Mahney would of been reported maybe 2 or 3 times in his career!!! my god..you really have no clue!!! Thank god for Sturt fans like Blues_Girl who actually know what they are talking about....unlike complete uneducated ********s like you.
Yes, you knocked us out the finals last year, good for you, are you gonna rely on that for the next 5 years are you? Tell me Blueboy...how many premiership have you won in the last 20 years?? Hey?? Zero was it!!! What a surprise. **** off from this board...you give good Sturt supporters Like Blues_Girl a bad name

What is an egbert?? Sooky? Why would he need to do anything?? He has won us 3 premierships from 4 grand finals, and a lowest spot of 4th in 5 years. What has Carman done compared to Williams?

What have those 3 got to do with topic?, shit for brains. I don't see any Port supporters suggesting any of those 3 should be state coach also those 3 might have a reputation for hitting other players, Manhey and Carter are nowhere near as bad as Granger though but pretty F A G boy Carman hit an umpire. If you ask me thats a soft target because no matter what the umpire was never going to hit him back. What a real man Carman is, but then again he did used to wear white boots.

You are correct in that you knocked us out of the finals last year.You played well but lasted only one more week. One finals victory in 24 years hardly affords you bragging rights, however a SANFL record of 7 consecutive Wooden spoons certainly qualifies you to speak of losing with authority.
Notwithstanding the crap we speak on these lines good luck for season 2001 and long live the SANFL.

I still maintain that Carman is the messiah. He took the team that no one wanted.. a team that finished bottom for 6 years and got them into the grand final in 3 years. Granted they fell over at the last hurdle, but you cant blame Phil for poor kicking, any more than you can blame Russell Ebert for all the kicks that hit the post in his last game as coach of Port.

Rather have a dope-grower as a role model than an umpire head-butter.
Carman only "took the team that nobody else wanted" cos he was desperate for a gig. That's how hard up he was to get back into footy, had to take on the biggest pile of shit that's ever existed in any of the Aussie football leagues. Gotta start somewhere I guess, and he couldn't go any lower than Sturt.
I guess that makes him the rock-spider of coaches then?? Maybe even the parasite living underneath the rock-spiders toes...

mahney is one of very few footballers to be reported - found guilty & suspended for KICKING. An extremely classy addition to anyone's playing resume. it is something that annoys him enormously!!
