I'm talking about the report on AFL.COM that states that Ken Judge was 'furious' when Chick told him he would stay at Hawthorn. (good Job you can't throw chairs from Perth to Melbourne)
Now I am taking all these 'stories' on face value but if they are true then some aspects of his departure are abit alarming.
Obviously Ken sees himself as a 'Career' Coach without any preference/affiliation to a particular club (Unlike say, Tony Shaw) but should he be so active in encouraging footballers to move around with him ?
The story with chick is obvious - saying theres a place for him there at any time (Why didn't WCE put up an equivalent trade to help this along ?) And to be furious when your little 'scheme' got caught out by an equally determined Hawthorn administration.
It's no secret they are also targetting Johnny Hay also.
Ken should remember that Hawthorn could have demanded that he honour his contract rather than releasing him from it.
Perhaps Kevin Sheedy was right after all
Still, at least I'm not a WCE fan - they should be in for a frustrating year.
