Scape Goat Sack Cox

[kickthething]

What’s the body of evidence? Half a year with 10+ injured? Thats not fair

The game plan, structure, lack of 8ntent from the team , his ability to get them up, low confidence……just forvstarters

 

[Arrr]

This club needs a shake up in the coaches box. Not necessarily Cox but some fresh eyes and minds in the assistants ranks.
It's insanity to keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Yes there's been injuries but there has also been a massive drop off in discipline and effort.
Give him another off season if need be but change something.

 

[ashep]

He's not the problem in the slightest.

 

[Olian]

He's not the problem in the slightest.

Empty seats in the stand are.
He won’t last.

 

[The King!]

His presser will be fun

 

[TasSixer]

No coach is going anywhere with this team. They are mentally destroyed. Need a massive list overhaul.

 

[Punts]

Little damming the effort the players are giving this year and the response tonight

 

[Cadsky]

Isn't James Hird keen to get back on the horse?

 

[Cadsky]

But seriously, we need to pick up the phone to bucks right ****ing now

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Isn't James Hird keen to get back on the horse?

At least with peptides, our players will bulk up a bit

 

[TasSixer]

Isn't James Hird keen to get back on the horse?

No thanks. Buckley is who I'd go if we made a change

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I said it in the Cox thread he cannot have repeat performances like tonight it doesnt matter who/what is missing or whatever.

60 last week 90 tonight its untenable

 

[Cadsky]

No thanks. Buckley is who I'd go if we made a change

Yes, scarcasm doesn't come through online very well

He has now found out why Horse bailed out - he will lead the rebuild that horse did not want to do !!

 

[The King!]

Being serious sacking a new coach mid year would just be further evidence we are a rabble

You can have a painful year. But this off-season we have to be ruthless , and decide where the list is at honestly

 

[Foreign Legion]

Too many coaches at the club have been there too long. Thats what 3 succession plans in a row does - no new ideas. Even Leon Cameron

must have been there 4-5 years. Of course the soft cap ****s us up with money offers for good coaches in Sydney.

Yeah I missed it, my other emotions overshadowed my awareness.

But we are. Are there levels of rabble? Can anyone seriously see improvements driven by the head coach. He will see the year out, it’s gone anyhow, I don’t see how he sees year 2. We are paying the penalty for not throwing the job open to a process..

Nathan Buckley would be a better option.

I'm conflicted because I said 3 years ago move Horse on and don't just pick his assistant do a process get a new coaching team, was worried about the mental, need a clean out.

But not he is here and on four year and does have injuries (no excuse for effort) they also can't ditch it a year in, but then the offseason are we going this is a blip and back the boys in? and if they stayed shit this time next year well yep he is gone.

Matthews has been our midfield coach since 2021 (when we got good again after a few lean years)

McVeigh was our defensive coach last year

Buchanan joined the assistant panel for this season. Was a 1-3yr development coach for the 2 seasons before that.

All been with the club for a few years, but had experience elsewhere.

Matthews at Melbourne with Roos/Goodwin, and Buchanan and Mark McVeigh

with the Giants through that 2015-22 period where they were good, but couldn’t get the job done.

 

[Superstar swan]

Did anyone see the blokes energy pre game talking to Lyon ? He looks as flat as and depressed.

No wonder we are copping this shit

There injuries and then there’s this. This isn’t about los8ng, it’s about how the fabric has so quickly evaporated under his watch.

I seriously cannot see where he gets better.

He was assistant for a long time, enough to be doing better than he is.

I don't know but my guess is the club won't do anything anytime soon either way , even if we lose every game from here
