News Where is Chris Pelchen at?

Looks like he's been shown the door at St Kilda. Is it too harsh to blame him for our recruiting failures in the time he was at Hawthorn? (I'm thinking Thorpe, Dowler and Muston). We seem to have done a lot better with Graham Wright in charge.

Where will he go now? At the rate the Bulldogs are going, I wouldn't put it past them to add him to their staff!

Fairly certain that Carlton are in the hunt for a list manager, having thrown the big bucks at Wright, only for Hawthorn to foil that move.

Silvagni and Pelchen double-act?

 

[Flukey!]

Under Wright we have done far better.
Pelchen is a pretty average footy administrator in my eyes.

 

[Teamwork Talks]

Dermie wan't very complimentary about Pelchen on radio earlier this year.
Said he was overrated

 

[Arkadia]

The pelican believes in his own immortality..

 

[Messenger]

Caro thought SOS was unlikely to go "home" as his eldest is a likely father/son in '16.

 

[Slick]

Anywhere but here.

In all seriousness, he'll end up at somewhere like GWS.

 

[Adoyle]

Absolutely incompetent negotiator

Case in point the #1 draft pick

"It's on the table"

"But it would need to be a fantastic deal, we're waiting for clubs to bring us offers"

Hmmmm.....so is it on the table or not?? Are you interested in deal??

"Offered #4 and #7 by GWS"

Rejected, you must be kidding, if you weren't going to complete that trade just what were you expecting the other clubs to offer!

Imbecile

 

[JeddaB]

Anywhere but here.

In all seriousness, he'll end up at somewhere like GWS.

And trade out all their best players for first round picks.

 

[Frankston Rover]

I hope he stays involved at AFL level somewhere.

It means it's one less club we need to worry about.

 

[Pessimistic]

Please please let it be carlton, even though theyve denied it

 

[RustyHawk]

Anywhere but Hawthorn please

 

[moginie]

Just what you need coming up to draft day.

BTW the drafting of Muston was not a failure. Had he not done his knee in the NAB Cup game in Adelaide in 08 I think you would have seen a much better player than the one who finally made his debut a year later.

Figured there would be a thread for boof head Pelican.
Little embarrassing Hawks had him so long.

 

[TazHawk15]

Anywhere but Hawthorn please

He would be very very very lucky to get a gig at the Box Hill Hawks, let alone back to us.

I've never met him, but given the success he has experienced and yet he is so universally disliked, he must be one almighty d*ckh*ad

He has tunnel vision when it comes to draft picks, it is all he thinks about.

Very very hard to deal with in trades as well, the reason he was shown the door at the Hawks.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Anywhere but Hawthorn please

While Graeme Wright is at the club, I'm purely speculating, but there's no chance of Pelchen returning.

 

[WideOpenRoad]

Pelchen is to list management what Terry Wallace is to coaching.

 

[Thaihawk]

Dermie wan't very complimentary about Pelchen on radio earlier this year.
Said he was overrated

When he was in full swing with the Hawks, he was certainly overrated on here.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Please please let it be carlton, even though theyve denied it

Kreuze_missile would absolutely love that (for those of you who frequent the Bay)

 

[Boot Studder]

The ARU is looking for fresh coaches/administrators/scapegoats to sack in six month's time. The time could be ripe for a bit of code-hopping for the Pelican.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

I always felt with no insider knowledge that he was revolutionary around player payments and front and back-loading contracts, as well as all the stuff he did on the number of A, B and C grade players.

I also always felt that he got too cute at draft time and always wanted to go for the high risk high reward player, which usually back-fired.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Sorry, that title just needed to be amended. Carry on.

 

[Davo23]

Sorry, that title just needed to be amended. Carry on.

Ha ha, the thread title change means this thread will end in disaster!

Chris Pelchen to end up managing the New York Yankees on a $10 million contract ...
