If they make the finals then surely they keep him.
What other coaches have been sacked after losing a final?
Without checking I think Grant Thomas might have, but I can't think of any others who have.
Stan Alves too both after finishing 6th.

The guy is a massive flog who is obsessed with making veiled digs at us whenever he can.I'm starting to see what you blokes go on about.
Watching the Lions-Bulldogs game, and bloody Dwane Russell has spent the whole commentary going on about how bad the Crows are! Unbelievable.
He pretty much can't go a game without fapping on about how amazing Port are and/or having a dig at us about draft blunders, the camp etc
Best example was when it was looking as though the Crows were in the box seat to get Steven Motlop.
He publicly destroyed Motlop on trade radio saying he was lazy, selfish, only ran one way and how Geelong couldn't wait to get rid of him. His opinion was that the Crows were crazy to be offering him a deal like that.
Motlop goes on to sign with Port on more money and not a word is uttered from Dwayne about it. Fast forward to the next season and Motlop kicks a goal, "Stephen Motlop, you star"

As a commentator he was part of the new breed of "be deliberately controversial*
As a cricketer, he had no peer.

The "talking back to the umpire" crackdown is causing a bit of a furore.
I've got a theory that the AFL kicks off each season with one new rule everyone REALLY hates and it starts strong, fades, then disappears as the season wears on.
The purpose of this hated rule is to attract and centralise all the criticism, so that the rest of their tweaks and other B.S. changes pass without notice

I have a conspiracy theory that the AFL (and other sporting codes like the NFL) deliberately introduce controversial rules and actually want a lower standard of officiating for games.
There is a reason AFL / NFL umpires aren't full time.
Marsh would have punched Langer out. B
Inside knowledge has always been the most overblown 'advantage' in the professional era.
Only after Fagan/trigg and Chappy negotiated it up from the AFL's 2 game decree.
Check out macgills stats as a comparison, Warne had a peer.

People like to think he was, but reality is he was nowhere near.
One of my favourite Kerry O’Keefe one liners is..
As MacGill was coming in to bowl.
Stuart has 2 variations, the stock leg break and the pie.

He's right.
At his best, MacGill was as good as Warne. He just couldn't do it as often. JR Thomson bowled spells that were as good as DK as well.
Nup, outperformed him when they played together and bettered him statistically outside that. Warnie was by far and away the better cricketer and better teammate but MacGill the more effective bowler. We know an Oz international umpire and when I asked him why MacGill didn't play more tests he said that he's an arseh*le and nobody likes him. But that he was a freak and he could hear the ball fizzing down the pitch. If he’d been able to swap out some side spin for top spin to counteract the bounce he’d have been devastating. As it was, he was the better wicket taker.

No, no he wasn't.

Very funny, I speak a bit to that in a post I was composing as you posted this. No doubt he wasn’t a deep cricketing thinker, he didn’t give a shit about strategy or his teammates, he just bowled and knew the wickets would come. And after the game whilst everyone is celebrating with beers, he was sitting by himself enjoying a red.
He had weaknesses, but it’s unarguable as to who was the better wicket taker. I don’t mind Warne being described as a better cricketer or bowler, but to claim he was without peer is total rubbish.

500 test wickets difference suggests you're horribly wrong.
Part of "being without peer" is all of that other stuff you mentioned. Warne was on a whole different level to anyone, that's being without peer.
AFL won't let them sack a coach after making Finals.
Even with 50% contract clause, that is at least $400k payout for 2023.
AFL won't allow them to pay him out.
Look at their recent hires. Promoted Richardson as CEO, barely replaced Voss and Schoefield.
They can't spend big money on key staff. Let alone $400k to pay out Ken. Plus recruit a new decent head coach.

Warnie is more than stats.
He controlled games with his bowling and gamesmanship.
MacGill was pretty good too though. Wish he was 15 years younger.

Sad news about Warnie, no doubt. But a State funeral? FFS!
MacGill was always at least the equal in terms of taking wickets. Fact is that they only played 2 spinners on certain wickets. When they played together MacGill outperformed him and when Warne was injured MacGill had the better strike rate. Suggesting his form fluctuated is a straight up fabrication. He took wickets, but that’s actually all he contributed.
