News Chris Davies departs for Carlton

[longdonkey]

Nah.

You're still wrong.

Don't even have to read it to know its wrong

 

[Jojay]

Ever since CD made that stupid "professional jealousy" comment re the crows, we've been on a downhill trajectory ever since. He can piss off with Koch, Ken an Co.

Downhill started long before that

 

[El_Scorcho]

Might be highly regarded, might do a lot of things well, but is a co-conspirator at this point given the insane coaching situation we've found ourselves in.

He's not highly regarded by me, that's for sure. Hinkley, Koch, Davies, Richardson, in that order of sh*tness.

 

[Sleezy]

I'd love to know whether the cheap as chips coaching panel is his doing, or a result of budget limitations coming from above.

Is he hamstrung by the bean-counters above, or does he really think this is the best coaching panel we could have?

 

[ibd77]

I'm not sure about the setiments against CD and what his actual role is at the club but from my perspective he is good recruiter and trader. I don't think its his problem to develop the players to suit a game style. That's Hinkleys job aint it?

 

[Windy Cindy]

he does love the club passionately and despises the crows

i think hes conflicted when it comes to hinkley

 

[PowerLil]

He's actively complicit in this sh*tshow. Hinkley sits under Davies. All four must go, Koch, Hinkley, Davies, Richardson.

This. I'm not against him staying.

People here jump to so many conclusions and blame everyone else for anything.

You can't go against the club and coach, use common sense people.

Got a whiff of Greg Miller about him, who lived off acquiring Carey, Longmire and Buckley with brown paper bags for literally decades.

I would bet my life its due to budget constraints and a very highly paid head coach.

GETTABLE: Young guns out of contract, why Tigers should chase Giant

Cal Twomey and Riley Beveridge are joined in Adelaide by Power GM of Football Chris Davies and SA draft prospect Ashton Moir

www.afl.com.au

Says we are missing key defenders in the mid 20s. Jonas and McKenzie 30+, Pasini, K.Marshall, McCallum yet to play. Ratugolea, McKay and Pickett mentioned. Wants less restrictions on trading picks.

SANFL side will struggle because it's a young side. Wants Josh Sinn to stay on the park. Talked up Visentini.

Wants to tie Georgiades down to a contract at some point during the season, but he needs to focus on getting back in the AFL side. Club still has massive faith in him. Says he'll be speaking with Bergmans management at some point to get him re-signed. Talks up that we historically don't lose too many players.

Rozee out of contract at the end of 2024. Davies says he's a long term leader and hopes Rozee sees his long term future here.

I'd love to know that as well because I don't see a long term future for me as a port fan atm

 

[davo999]

He didn’t give much away . I don’t mind him , although I think he may be better in a more administrative role rather than head of football

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Interesting that Visentini was mentioned. Sinn yes high end draft pick, Dante much lesser known. These interviews aren't entirely spontaneous, so good to hear Dante get raised. A few of us here have been excited by his potential from the outset.

If I remember correctly Davies talked up Sam Hayes a lot once upon a time. Unfortunately that didn’t translate to faith by the coaching staff.

If only you’d had 9 offseasons to plan for and remedy this situation, Toph.

I don't remember that, but I don't remember a lot of stuff these days.

I think they like Visentini, he was given a run in one of the trial games and didn't look out of place.

His ruck technique is very good, he may be a fraction short by modern ruck standards but his aggression makes up for that. And he can get around the ground.

He's been immediately very competitive against senior rucks in the sanfl, moreso than any ruck recruit I've seen at Port.

Blind Freddys grandma's canary could see we have been well short of at least one quality key defender since Daryl Wakelin retired 15 odd years ago, and when we had someone who could have filled that role (ie Dougal Howard) he was traded away for some magic beans.

The 3 K's had run their race at least 5 years ago but only one was prepared to accept his time was up, in my opinion Davies is now right up the clacker of the remaining pair, and to utilise a racing term is closing fast!

Mentioned a couple of times on The Age's podcast that Davies may be out the door at the end of the year, with multiple teams chasing him as head of football, as well as the AFL itself for the vacant position as footy ops boss (Brad Scott's old role).

Wot..no more Seinfeld.

 

[MrMeaner]

Our recent recruitment suggests Alfie is about to get the call up from boot duty.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

We've heard it all before worh Davies though and thus far he has stayed each time.

Given the way Geelong have been looked after with insiders at AFL house I wouldn't mind Davies getting a role there.
