Agree. I don’t think Ken will be going anywhere unless he walks away but our assistants could be under the pump. I’m talking Lade Greaves nicks

What are their contract situations? It should be evident to the Board that the game plan stinks without one win or a few percent being the difference between finals and not finals.
 
Hope they haven’t cooked Sloane, he deserves better than that (and some wits might say he just signed it).

Camporeale’s comment seems a *bit* odd though.

"As far as I know, he got trod on and played the rest of the game out, so I don't see what the issue is," Crows assistant coach Scott Camporeale said.

"If you've been trod on with footy boots, I dare say you'd have a pretty sore foot.

"We'll wait and see by the end of the week, but as far as I know, he's OK."
Camperelli sounds offended.

If only we had replaced like for like this season so our players and new recruits could actually get some confidence in our game plan and who and where to kick to.
Ken revels in this idea of our flexibility with ability to play in multiple positions but we are obviously not at the stage where we are ready for the continual disruption and confusion.
We do more damage to our own side than we do the oppo with the continual robbing one position to fill another.

If we had gone like for like replacements since the start of the season I’m confident we would have at least 2 extras wins to our name which would be what? Top spot? 2nd?
 
I have top 4 and competitive in finals with a minimum 1 win and competitive in the rest as the barest pass mark.

Anything less than that should be clearly made unacceptable to the coaches and players.
I said top 2 or bust a couple of weeks ago so I’m done.
 
The good thing about 9th will be not having to go through some hinkleyball final loss i guess
Yeah ... er .. nah.
After the coach extension, our pre-season signings and the member convention driven hype missing finals is not on.
Any excuse and I mean ANY excuse is a cop out. If membership plateaux or even drops in 2019 then the verdict on KH's signing/gameplan
will be unmistakable. Imo we're on a knife's edge atm and what's more I reckon KH knows it. He'll be desperate for a win this week.
 
I believe societies biggest scourge are the general pressures of life, centered in rising financial disparity and cost of living, leading to the desire to fabricate happiness, but ok. Must be the grog.
It is the widespread misunderstanding of the meaning of happiness in the first place. Everything else is consequence.

Happiness is FULFILLMENT. It is not a feeling, like pleasure or joy.

9th is disastrous because change isn't coming. We're not paying out 3 years worth of Hinkley's contract. For better or worse we have to hope we find a place where we can mitigate our issues and win.

I’d suggest ken is gone if we come 9th


Fingers crossed
 
Who is there after Ken? Bassett, Lade?
If Ken does leave before his contract is up I'll reserve my celebrations until I see who we get to replace him. Having watched some of the disastrous coaching decisions that other clubs have made over the last few years I would be a bit nervous. Atm I definitely believe that a lot of our problems come down to coaching but I don't have any definitive opinion on whether we need Ken gone or just a serious shake up of assistants, but we do need something.

I’ve said it before, surely you don’t gift the bloke a 4 year deal without a clause regarding making the top 8 (in the position he was in) If we end up 9th it wouldn’t surprise me if he did get the sack, but all the chat about assistant changes makes me think otherwise.
 
... I don’t see a lot of joy unless there is divine intervention.
I'm not sure what Russell can do at this late stage of the season.

Not going to happen.

It will only be 12 months since the club gave him a three year contract extension so there is no way they are going to sack him.

Besides, Ports' talk.:oops:
