News Matt Hass gone

[Ian_Perries_Glove]

He should have been sacked when Burton was turfed out. Why is the club always dragging its feet to make obvious decisions?

Although I 100% agree with the sentiment, fans forget it’s pretty hard to just let people go and find an adequate replacement. As wonderful as Adelaide is, it can also be very difficult to entice interstaters to move to SA. In fairness to the club in the last 12-18 months, although it has taken a million years to get to this point, they’ve made a lot of coaching and admin changes for the better. Some of these have left “voluntarily” but the list is pleasant reading: Burton, Hart, Campo, demoted Godden, Chapman, Smart and Hazel (at board level), Fagan. We should give the club credit where it’s due. Next up, Roo and Reid!

 

[hey shorty]

We didn't even fire him, he quit.

Will be interesting to see who we appoint as a replacement. Old Crows would appoint Jarryd Wallace permanently at the end of the year.

If you believe the rumours, the replacement has already been selected and will arrive at seasons end.

I did a hamstring rushing to read this thread

Thanks Matt

I know but Burton and Hass both should have been gone at the end of the 2018 season.

They probably wanted to give him time to establish himself after Burton which is fair.

I reckon we've had our eyes on Burgess for a while.

Burton probably gave his mate another contract just prior to being sacked himself.

 

[Betts are off]

He should have been sacked when Burton was turfed out. Why is the club always dragging its feet to make obvious decisions?

They probably had a limit as too how many people they were willing to pay to not be a part of the club in a single year. And I suspect with Campo, Burton, Pyke, Betts and Jenkins all on that list, Haas got the loophole stay of execution!

Will be interesting to see who we appoint as a replacement. Old Crows would appoint Jarryd Wallace permanently at the end of the year.

It'll be the usual process. We'll vow to search the entire sporting world to find the best candidate, and somehow that person will just happen to already be at the club. Amazing how that works out.

 

[Thetrader15]

If we wanted to get rid of him why didn't he go in that same wave?

Maybe they had their eyes on the best in the business, and knew it was going to take 2 years to get him.

Good. That means we don't have to pay him out doesn't it? Would you have preferred we sacked him and then came to a fiscal settlement?

He knew his time was done and found another job.

The 'ol "You can't fire me cause I quit".

Burgess still wants back to Adelaide, his family is here, so he'd be the obvious replacement.

 

[1970crow]

Cops a lot of hate on here that belongs to Brett Burton imo.

There's no doubt that Burton is totally incapable of handing a set of keys over. He ran the fitness dept the entire time he was with us, nothing is more certain.

No way, Burto was on his way to being remembered as an elite football manager end of 2018. There was so much more we needed him to do.

 

[moogerfooger]

Club must be confident of a victory on the weekend otherwise they would have saved this good news for the usual post defeat distraction next Monday.

I Lol every time I see that gif

the look on Steve Carells face is just perfect !
Its an OMG and Dare to Dream rolled into one

 

[baldandbroke]

I think he was gone end of year so has been released with our best wishes early to this opportunity.

Bit disappointed that he couldn't finish out the year - how will the players cope with the change to such a major role? This could really influence our performances at the pointy end of the season :-(

Don't think so.

I'll concede that we were pushing Hass out if we get Burgess next year. Happy to eat humble pie and admit being wrong if that happens. Will be a good result.

But everyone was convinced we were getting him 12 months ago and it didn't happen.

I think we can all agree that if Burgess doesn't come in for next season that this wasn't a planned thing by the Crows to get rid of Hass?

 

[Mutineer]

Haven't we already got the guy that has worked closely with Burgess for a fair stretch in Europe?

Ordinarily clubs let employees out of contracts, Melbourne were reported to have denied his request. Whether it was to us is a guess, but there was definitely word around him trying to get out and it not being agreed by Melbourne.

They then let out that weird little press release about a month ago.

There's very little doubt he wanted back to Adelaide and is being held to his contract. Toss of the coin has us 50% the destination. His underling being here already pushes the odds towards us a fair bit you’d say.

I missed that one, what was it about?

We didn't get him cause he's contracted and Melbourne wouldn't let him out of his deal. They've now said that if he wants to leave at the end of the year that's up to him now. They'll have plenty of time to find a replacement and I don't think we would tell Hass he can't leave if another opportunity arises for him if we didn't have Burgess ready to go.

We also got Tim Parham last year and he has been with Burgess nearly everywhere he's gone since they were at Port
