First coach to get the sack??

[fugitive]

Who'll be the first coach to get the sack next season? I think it'll be an experienced coach may be Peter Schwab if Hawthorn really struggles next year

 

[Portia]

Schwab is top of my list at the moment.

He seems the most likely to be under pressure

Schwab, to be replaced by Plough

 

[JUBJUB]

Schwab,just ahead of Frawley.

 

[knuckles]

Schwab and Spud are jostling for position to be the first...."nah/yeah...yeah/nah....terrific"I could never understand why Schwab got a gig in the first place.

Oh, and if Port start off slowly....Williams.

Spud and Schwab are the two in the firing line. I'd say Frawley would be marginally ahead due to Richmond's history with these kind of things. A lot will depend on how they start the 2003 season.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Neale Daniher if Melbourne have a bad season.

Grant Thomas if the Saints are struggling again.

Danny Frawley because it's the Richmond way.

it may have taken us 20 years to work it out that its not the coach,s head that should be on the chopping block but better late than never.

for me
schwab would have to be under great pressure considering wallace is waiting in the wings.

cheers!

Just signed a new 3 year contract, I can't see Melbourne sacking him.

Not while I'm alive, we don't want him back after his 1987 AGM "speech" and alot of senior Hawthorn people still remember and feel the same.

I agree!! If Schwab is the first to go he only has himself to blame ie he wants to prove himself. If we don't make the finals...he may be history

So how would that be different to any other year? Not Grant Thomas, Butterss will never sack one of his cronies.

 

[bb_gun]

Grant Thomas? The post clearly states "coach". Thomas is hardly a coach.

Looks like 2003 will be another year of the Saints capitulating and Butter-Ass asking for handouts.

The clock is ticking.

But Wallace won't be the answer

 

[DaveW]

Frawley the most likely for mine. Ayres has been favourite at the start of the last two years, hasn't he?

Yes, mini bus would be a more apt description.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Makes a change not being Ayres.

Schwab would want to be on track for the top-8 or he could be in strife (perhaps replaced by Wallace).

Thomas should be replaced if the Saints continue to finish near the bottom, but Butterss would need to go 1st, as I can't see him booting his mate with all those kids to feed.

Can't see any of the others under too much pressure, except perhaps Frawley if the Tigers struggle again. However, IMO they will be one of the improving teams of 2003, so he should be safe.

Swear all you like. Thomas is a joke of a coach. And Buttress will go down in flames sooner rather than later.

Sure will tell. If Thomas can't get the Saints mid-table with the talent you have, then they should both leave. If the Saints do well, good luck to them, but I don't think I'm alone in saying that Thomas hasn't done anything so far to convince the football public that he is a good coach.

Going through the list, l think next season will see a season of no sackings.

The safest:

Matthews, Sheedy, Pagan, Williams, Laidley, Roos, Thompson, Malthouse, Connolly.

Unlikely to be sacked:

Daniher, Ayres, Worsfold, Rhode.

Potential Risk:

Thomas, Scwabb, Frawley.

Although l have 3 in the potential risk zone, unless either of those teams has a Cartlon type year, l think they can consider themselves safe.

If l had to pick one, Frawley would be my man.

If someone would give me 20-1 or better on Sheeds I'd take a piece of it ....

I'd say Ayres is no more likely than any to be sacked mid-contract. Why is Laidley in the top group and Rohde in the second?
