[Ford Fairlane]

 

[PJ Power]

Changes coming thick and fast now.

Thanks for your service Mark. Made a fall-guy in 2023. Took one for the club.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Big broom, only needs to catch one or two more.

 

[Del165198]

Lol good, hopefully we can get someone competent now who actually cares about player welfare.

Lol you know this is the good ol illusion of change where they tinker with literally everything else but leave king stinkers there

 

[TazD]

Will move into public malpractice.

 

[Malibu#27]

Looks like hes staying on and handing over the baton to the next generation and taking a step back into the second seat. I've previously had consultations with the new guy, whos been working there for some time.

 

[Willsy10]

I've dealt with him on a personal level and I really liked him. I think he was unfairly made the scapegoat. And a lot of things that he has come under huge scrutiny for had happened at other clubs and it's been "nothing to see here". Remember when Jeremy Cameron

was concussed and didn't go off because the game was close? The hypocrisy has been astonishing.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Oh we're finally sacking Mark Fisher? Good. ****ing quack.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

From what I have heard this is definitely for the best.

He wasn't 'made a fall guy'. He ****ed up, badly. This sacking is a year too late.

You’ve got the inside knowledge that he wasn’t over-ruled? Wouldn’t put anything past Hinkley and Davies when it comes to influencing player management decisions.

My sentiments are exactly the same. He was made the fall guy. Medical circles are very small in Adelaide.

They sure are. I’ve observed with interest but not surprise the vitriol he copped, including from posters on this board. Very quick to slander reputations without verifying facts or understanding context. Medicos generally have become an easy target for criticism. Certainly not beyond making mistakes, or copping reproach or criticism, but there are often two or more versions of the same story.

Usual Port Tax shit that our club enables

 

[Del165198]

The idea that Kerny is overruling the chief medical officer and sending aliir back out and playing injured players is wild.

Either he's spineless to let this happen, or it was his call and he stuffed up repeatedly, and hasn't been taking appropriate precautions re brain injury.

I couldn't agree more. Mark is a very competent and experienced MO who never deserved the crap that was thrown his way last year.

Let's say Hinkley wasn't responsible for that particular call that night.

He covered for ken, that was bad enough

 

[blackdiamond]

I guess we have Dr Hinkley.

Remember that 100k fine we copped, yet just this season Harry McKay stayed on instead of following concussion protocols and Carlton’s excuse was “erm well our doctors were busy”. As if Aliir hadn’t, you know, been injured in a collision with ANOTHER PORT PLAYER who was being tended to by the doctors. I hate this league.

 

[PAFC66]

The guys brain seemed cooked at the end.
He's been a terrific for the club but he made some terrible errors at the end there

The whole Allir thing , Rozees hamstring and hiding butters broken ribs . Poor.
