You really do have to wonder if Koch has backed the club into a corner with his hands off Kern statement, where do we go if the rest of this season goes pear shaped?

I can see as many as 6-8,000 not renewing their membership if we don't win at least one final, and it's definitely possible it could be significantly higher if we get smashed in the first game and end up with an early exit.

Surely he can see that, and the boring as bat shit game plan which is also keeping people away.

Ok, was just looking up Tim Watson's coaching and came across this on the same page...

"** The Port Adelaide club are seeking to settle the dispute with John Cahill out of court. A proposal has been put before Cahill and his legal team to end the disagreement which had its roots at a June meeting when the Port club suggested the former coach and club legend had provided sensitive player information to rival clubs."

What is this?

Rings a bell, think it happened in 1999.

From Kevin Taylor's footy stats diary site where he has archived every season both his stats and newspaper articles back to 1992. He has backed off the last couple of years he is ill and about 85.

.........
PORT & CAHILL HEAD FOR COURT

JOHN CAHILL, one of Port Adelaide’s famous sons and the club seem headed for the Supreme Court over allegations Cahill leaked confidential player information to rival clubs.

Cahill after playing 267 matches with the Magpies coached Port for 18 seasons, including 10 SANFL premierships and was their inaugural AFL coach when they entered the national competition in 1997. He was replaced at the end of 1998 and presently works in the media with Adelaide radio station MMM.

The Age newspaper confirmed two clubs, Geelong and Fremantle had written to Port Adelaide in relation to John Cahill.

Cahill's lawyer Greg Griffin said he expected defamation proceedings would commence against Port on Thursday.

Who is the most respected and successful current AFL coach? Alistair Clarkson.
Prior to taking the reigns at Hawthorn Clarkson had coached senior premierships in the SANFL and had a very solid grounding as an assistant at AFL level.

Nathan Basset has coached senior premierships in his own right at Norwood and has had a solid grounding as an assistant at two AFL clubs. He's smart, calculated in his approach, and prepared to deliver home truths where needed.

Others may disagree but my feeling is Nathan Basset is the next great AFL coach in waiting. The fact he's been prepared to wait until he feels he's ready, bide his time, and not jump at the first opening that comes along like so many have before him just makes him more appealing to me. And we already have him in our ranks. He's ours to lose.

Bring in Bass.
Don't do that. I'm hoping we poach Bass when west coast poach Pyke at the end of next year

I really have a feeling Keith Thomas has Bass on some sort of secret promise to take over, whether Hinkley goes at the end of this year or next. I doubt Bass was brought back solely to be some line coach. There's gotta be something more on offer there.
