It has nothing to do with my lot. Yeah the Suns have shown natural improvement of there 4 years just by simply there players maturing and playing games. Have a look at there season this year, they got all hype about them in the first half of the year because they beat all the bottom sides and when the season started to hot up they couldn't even raise a yelp.

They haven't improved nearly as much as they should. They were a rabble in the last 6 weeks, losses at home, beaten by the Dogs away. That is without considering their 'roll over and take it' performances against the top sides. The coach at the very least should be getting the players to compete.
This is something that Collingwood should be doing, given their piss poor finish this season.
But congrats to Gold Coast in being proactive and getting one of the best coaches in the game.

Collingwood didn't get a better coach though. Bomber is a 2 time premiership coach. He knows how to win.
I always say this. People need to know the difference between a coach that can get you to the finals and one that can WIN a premiership. There is a massive difference.

Ah i see, so i guess if GWS dont make the eight by next year Leon Cameron should be sacked too? Put a line through him cause i dont see that happening.

Without getting into a bitter debate about it, would you have lets just say 'moved Buckley on' at the Pies? Who would you have replaced him with assuming Bomber was unavailable?
I agree about GC being proactive, no point being 'happy to finish 6th'

Never said I agreed with it. FWIW, I reckon Bomber has questionable character.So when Bomber's mate Sando is sacked by his club it's a travesty and disgraceful behaviour.
But when McKenna is sacked by his club paving the way for Bomber, he's okay with it? Right.

Cameron has another year than McKenna would have, GWS went down the 'youth only' route. In 2 years if GWS aren't in the 8, questions should be asked.
in today's climate I'd rather work in the media.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Hird will coach Gold Coast.
Essendon want to keep Thompson and Hird is the most successful coach available.
Watch this space.

Yep, and guess who the tail is? Or is it "Who is telling tales?"

He'll be fine. It takes 4 months though, not two.
you're kidding, Hird's brand is utterly destroyed, no other club would touch him for at least a couple of years

I'm torn. Feel for Bluey, he essentially built this side. I think he's been shafted. It'll be interesting to see how the young suns handle different ideologies and game plans from a different coach.
On the other hand, if Bomber is their man, it's hard not to do everything possible to get him.

This is the worst press conference for a sacked coach of all time. Chairman's a flog. Stop talking about how good a guy he is and answer the ****ing question. You sacked him!

Meh, press conferences for sacked coaches always suck!
