News Chris Davies departs for Carlton

[Jojay]

Hahaha ... Seinfeld 'Penske file' episode is on...

 

[KenOath]

So the case for:

• Good chats
• Not Peter Rohde
• Doing well
• Good at recruiting free agents
• Resembles George Costanza

The case against:

• On field results
• List management
• Contract management
• Trade negotiations
• Playing group culture
• Resembles George Costanza

Hmmm, yeah...too close to call, really.

 

[Contested Marx]

Telly Savalas as Maggot in the Dirty Dozen is a more apt description

 

[Pedro59]

I like what we are doing. Thumbs up.

Why?

 

[PowerBaz]

Why?

Actively different from previous years.

i have 100% lost faith, not just CD, in the broader footy department. The Wingard situation at the moment is a dipping point, is i explained in the Wingard thread Chad being traded because of attitude and commitment issues that are years old is a unforgivable failure, He has been traded before ever being forced to play in the Magpies, before being made to fight for his spot to earn his spot back.

Which footballer will be the next to possibly suffer ? SPP, Frampton (was suggested on here there were issues there) or Rankine if we potentially draft him ?

Now i, like most people on here aren't close enough to know who it is most at fault within the footy department but someone or multiple people absolutely must be held accountable. CD may not necessarily need to be sacked but maybe demoted and replaced as head of the footy department, odds are though someone in the footy department needs to go.

As i said in the Wingard thread standards start at the top. In the off season we need to get the footy department right, Kochy said no one is off the table, that mentality needs to start within the footy department and set the tone leading into preseason and 2019.

So much for Kochie's big review. Players sacrificed and management saved. Yep. PAFC culture. The one that's given only one premiership across two leagues in 19 years.

Davies still did not explain why Wingard unusually said he could not accept the improvements Hinkley wanted. I would suspect he was not happy with his role anyway, or the game plan or both. No-one is explaining the reasons. Certainly Wingard will play his heart out for Hawthorn, as he sees them as a premiership capable team on track, and under great direction.

We all knew that was BS, not sure theres much substance there. And moving on I'm curious to know what Cardone has done to raise the clubs profile. Maybe plenty behind the scenes, but I never hear anything about him.

“The coaches are now dissecting every aspect of the program, from high performance to game style” that’s what we got told after missing finals

No coaching is the issue. Can’t recruit all this talent and go backwards. The club very good and pushing its narrative we got told Ryder Dixon Rockliff Motlop Watts would be the missing pieces. When that failed the club used the narrative blame players just to mask ken coaching failures

Port Adelaide H&A Ladder Finish 2013-17

2013: 8
2014: 5
2015: 9
2016: 10
2017: 5
2018: 10

Those who did the so called review are the problem each protecting their own meanwhile players are the scapegoat

 

[Spinifex]

Entering the 2018 season with 1 ruckman and 1 good key forward was never going to end well. A list manager that has never heard of depth.
We got rid of Lobbe in the off season and went in with 1 ruckman capable of playing AFL football.
I’m no list manager but this season said a lot for me. I’m not impressed.
Looking at top 4 possibly even top 2 with 6 weeks to go and miss the finals because of our list managers incompetence.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Josh Mahony comes across as a very impressive and astute dude. Melbourne have developed incredibly with him at the helm. He would complete the band.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

KT said that Hinkley and Davies came to him with the co-captains idea. When one gets the arse, so should the other one.

Truely amazing! All three should be shown the door I never ever thought I’d see the day PAFC would gut it’s tradition

I’d be happy for him to take KT’s job.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

I really like the way he speaks. He doesn't try to bullshit. It's simple but thoughtful and directed. I think his approach shows in Melbourne's game plan. I find the voices from Port try to be to tricky and end up confusing themselves. It's just footy.

Sorry for the intrusion but there was a thread about Chris Davies and Seinfeld and it was one of the funniest threads on BF. I know it was bad for you guys but give him some credit last year, he nailed it along with the recruiting/ drafting team.

Does anyone remember the thread title?

Thanks, didn’t realise how big it’s become

Probably not the thread but on SEN this morning an SMS was read out and it alluded to CD being poached......

Who was doing the poaching..

He seems pretty happy at Port though?

They didn't elaborate.
