Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[marvin]

It's pretty easy to say "I told them what to do, they just didn't do it" and blame the players, but then you're not looking at if the player was capable of doing what you told them to do or if it'd even work.

"We had a great game plan" when we won, and "we didn't execute" when we lost. Terry Wallace and James Hird were frequent shifters of responsibility like that

 

[Scorpus]

Was he pushed or did he jump?

The board told him they weren't renewing his contract, so he resigned. He was effectively sacked

Where is that stated ?
In any case like the AFLW the expansion was questionable
GWS and Gold Coast

On big footy by Scorp?

Let the sack-a-thon commence!

Who’s going to coach GWS next year?

I'm pretty sure it was reported somewhere, can't remember where I saw it though

It might have been in an article and then deleted now

 

[Dirty Bird]

What's the context for all this?

Those 5 posters taking a shot at the goal umpire who paid touched in the 1st quarter of Friday Night, when it was a goal.

So Cameron to Port in 2024? I would feel a lot safer if they dont keep Kenny beyond 2023, if they went down the Cameron path.

 

[GROTTO]

Who’s going to coach GWS next year?

I could see Kenny jumping ship if GWS offered him a 4 year offer.

Would be hilarious and sad for us at the same time.

What about Bucks?

I understand why the AFL went with GWS and GC, ie in regards to the future and ever growing market, 20 to 30 years from now.

However, why should in my lifetime have to endure these plastic franchises being a basket case in the interim.

Port Power the other plastic teal franchise that I wish the AFL didnt include as well.

 

[GROTTO]

What about Bucks?

I think with Bucks because of his kids he would rather get a coaching job in Victoria.

And there might be one very soon

Buckley shouldnt go to North, its a coach killer position.

If Saints/Dons dont make the 8, he would be far better of going for one of those Clubs.

I can see Koch panicking and extending Kern for another 4 years, if Kern can create that impression. Suns 2.0.

If Kenny's manager is any good, he would start planting the seed in the media that the Giants want Ken.

For that to realistically happen to get that extension offer, Port need a heartbreaking PF loss or make it to the 2022 GF.

No doubt Ken has a Finals clause in his contract if they make them this year or next.

Still a slight chance this year.

Hinkley will never coach another AFL club again.

I actually do hope our Club has at least looked and asked Clarkson, although we are more likely to win the flag in 2022 then to get Clarkson coaching us, surely we have considered him coaching us next year.

Look if youre in the finals, there is always a miracle chance you land on the right side of the draw and get teams also at the right time to roll them over.

Port could easily roll Freo or the Blues over in a crunch final, especially given their experience.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

North fans would have to fuming that they gave Hugh Greenwood a three year deal that will be activated shortly

Clubs on pre-agent watch, former No.3 pick a trade target

He shouldn't be there at all in a developing side

James Jordan...

At this stage, just making finals will be enough for Kochie to sing Ken's praises for turning the season around!

Port will need another 9 wins (assuming 12 the magic number) to make the 8.

North
Cats
Dons
Tigers
Swans
Suns
Freo
Giants
Dees
Cats
Pies
Tigers
Dons
Crows.


The bold is their home games, green is their likely wins (and Im being generous) which IMO is only another 5 wins for them.

Kenny has to pull 4 wins out of his arse to make the 8.

Would need to beat the Pies and Dons away, Tigers at home and then us. Not unrealistic for this happen.

I still believe before the season started, that Port will need to beat us in the final round to make the 8.
