Crisis meeting - Hun reports

[Thewlis Dish]

I have my own opinions on this ('this' being the drive which some people have to focus on their own angle with regards to the progressive/conservative dialectic) but I don't want to take this thread any further off-topic than it already is.

Thanks for your response.

That's fine, it's a circular argument anyway. I'm not going to provide "proof" that The Huddle doesn't negatively impact on field performance, the same way Tef isn't going to provide "proof" that it does.

My own personal view is that sporting clubs represent every single person that supports them - if being pro-active in supporting social causes makes supporters feel included, that's great and worthwhile. The Huddle does a truckload of excellent work with demographics that need this support - you can argue that shouldn't be a footy club's responsibility to provide, but really, if it is positively impacting their lives and not negatively impacting mine, why would I have a problem with it?

I hear what you are saying but I’m not one for removing a head coach after round 5 of a season.

That's one way of looking at it.

The other is sacking him after Round 225 of season 10.

The interview for those who missed it

 

[Orange Peanut]

So what did he say?

This probavly sums it up best:

 

[Kanga1996]

Interesting read for anyone interested.. has a completed break down of our expenditure from 2018.

Okay.

That photo too....

Buckley isn't even looking at Scotts. That look ... if I was in the mafia and someone looked near me like that I'd be worried.


We'd want to get some good wins between now and the Tiges game and maybe work out how to play properly as well.

We might even be done with him if we lose the next two.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Bet you don't have an issue with the Anzac day game though, right?

It is farcical. And I don't mean how the same two teams play every year. I mean the very concept of it.

Commercialised faux-mourning for people who have been dead for over 100 years.

It is a fricken football game. Football ffs.

Have we actually inked a stadium deal with the AFL?

Who do you suggest we replace him with?

103 years this July in one case.

Top quality reference.

Nothing and a lot.

I reckon twice Whateley asked him about BS's future in a way that a definitive answer was possible, and both times Buckley ummed and aahed and made motherhood type statements.

He was complimentary of Brad but certainly not unqualified or voracious in his support.

I thought that too. Seemed to me he was happy to give him this year but would not categorically say he would be there next year which is interesting.
GW also asked him if he was aware of the groundswell of discontent among the members and he stated that he reads the media and social media. Obviously didn't say what but I am tipping that if he is not reading it all himself he has someone else doing it for him.

 

[Mav]

Think you're mixing him up with Kochie. Eddie hasn't been living in Sydney for a while

But pretty sure when he was he was still pres

 

[Grogg]

Who do you suggest we replace him with?

Ratten would be my first choice.

Tudor or Crocker can caretake in the interim.

 

[Kanga1996]

Not that i can find

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Who do you suggest we replace him with?

Whoever comes through a stringent application process. Unless you're suggesting we can only get rid of the current coach if we've already chosen the next coach?

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Interview was a bit nothing. Some questions Ben handled pretty well. I really didn't need to hear that Brad's shown he's the man for a rebuild, though. Not again. I know his first one was in the shadow of the expansion clubs hogging the draft, but even so, if you make all the calls on the list and the matchday strategy, you don't get to keep putting your hand up to restart.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Both you and Teffy called the meme 'ironic'.

(Which is an incorrect use of the word).

Wrong.

Since you came into the thread, Snake's account has gone quiet...

Funnily enough, Snake once accused me of being a troll account.

Talk about irony.

Actually, don't do that.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Do you consider anybody who does not believe in or support 'progressive' politics to be 'extreme right wing'?

I have been a member of the club for 15 years. I want to see the club focus on football and not on 'inclusivity' or 'migrant integration' or any of this stuff.

Does that make me 'extreme right wing'?

Welcome to the 2010's. Generic labeling has replaced thinking.

 

[Snake_Baker]

That's fine, it's a circular argument anyway. I'm not going to provide "proof" that The Huddle doesn't negatively impact on field performance, the same way Tef isn't going to provide "proof" that it does.

Yes, but I can provide proof that it utilises resources in the absence of your and my evidence.

 

[Lemma]

But pretty sure when he was he was still pres

Right I thought you meant now
Yes, he was living in Sydney in around 2005-06 when he was CEO of Nine, just after he left the Footy Show

Snake has a long history of using alt-accounts...

LOL. You are being a touch presumptuous there old Chadwhako. :stern look

Anyways does your mate Heath reckon that Scotts should keep his job? :stern look

Yes that is me be presumptuous. :stern look

 

[The acurate one]

I think we should have a world wide search for a coach, a non english speaking coach could do wonders for the Huddle program, maybe one of those Somalian Lords am sure they could fill the other positions with their local gentry. TBH it would be nice having royalty on board.

Or just run a world wide raffle- 100 bucks a ticket, you get the gig for the remainder of Brad's contract and 400K, the plan would be to sell 1 mil tickets and just like that we've a war chest which the Somalians would put to great use.

And that's how you ****en innovate peeps!!

Can you see how it is just automatically assumed that you are of a particular narrow mindset if you challenge these peoples beliefs? This is par for the course.
