Opinion Who to sack poll

[Purple Suit]

If we win less than 10 games with no injuries then I think it might mean JL is let go, assuming there is some good coaching talent around.

Improve on next year and make finals then it's no sacking. I think the slow build is still the right strategy rather than going for the quick fix. With that, it means you need to give those in charge longer to get it right otherwise they are forced to trade aggressively for more Hogan types.

 

[pK75]

Does Bell’s sideways move count as a sacking?

 

[Freo Shark]

Voted for Bell but only because he seems to be the driving factor behind the angst with colon Young and if we’re going to get anywhere as a club we can’t lose Chapman or Johnson. We also can’t overlook talent like Collard because of who his manager may be. If losing Bell means we can repair the rift with Young, it’s a price I’m prepared to pay.

Hes now abandoned the Titanic and has a new role b4 next years s**t hitting the fan.,

 

[Freo Shark]

I’d argue that we need to add staff rather than sack them. Club needs to
get in bed with WC and get the AFL to give our teams more allowance.
Teams that are competing have superior coaching depts, our teams are
Understaffed.
Even if Ross came back now it wouldn’t better that 2012-2014 era.
Once Kirk was gone, then Suma, Ross picked the assistants and played shepherd.
Club needs to address this, a GWS comparison off staff, they will win a flag before
us.
As a football state that is an embarrassment.
What WC did with Mitchell was smart, Hodge at Lions. We need leadership.
Who at Freo could put their hand up for the top job?
Jlo is closer to M Harvey, we need football royalty to bridge the gap.

This I wld have thought wld be a minimum. How does one compete for Vic\East based talent when theres so many clubs.
Its really only $$$, perhaps even a COLA needs to be addressed.

Apart from the fact, Freo are coach killers but how do we attract the talented assistants, compensate for family issues. We shd be able to top up their salaries.

 

[MadMac]

I put in “sack everyone” as there was no my preferred option “justice for Harambe”

In all seriousness though, as few already mentioned, it depends on playing style that will be dished out in 2024. Stick with that “chip kick safe mode until the next clanger” strategy and JLo should be tapped on the shoulder and given his marching orders. I believe there’s enough talent and speed in the team to play attractive attacking style of footy. Sure, they can be “off” on occasion (every team can have stinkers) but that should be limited to like 2-3 games max in the season.

 

[ubiquitous226]

I voted "Other" to represent the people who demand 'accountability' with no idea what will help and nothing constructive other than funny lines like "Mumbles" or scenarios around Bell that only happened in their heads.

 

[pK75]

I almost think this pole is redundant now that management have completed a review and made some changes.
Bell is no longer the EGM of football but some other stuff no one can really say what it is, except that he will no longer be holding up whiteboards during quarter time breaks.
This will give JLo free air to live or die by the teams performance. Do well, he’ll be extended, not well and I’d say he’s looking for an assistant rôle somewhere.

 

[BigRang]

Sack nobody, stay the course.

 

[Purple Jesus]

I voted for other.

As in Snuffaluphagus.

Time for revolt!

THE PEASANTS ARE REVOLTING!

DEUS VULT!

[Executioner]

"As some day it may happen that a scapegoat must be found

I've got a little list — I've got a little list

Of Fremantle's big offenders who might well be round the ground

And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!

There's the angry little manager the mighty Peter Bell —

Whose trades and contracts piss off players like a dirty smell —

And coach Longmuir the mumbler who fumbles with his words —

Whose players sleeping in first quarters never quite disturbs —

And farmer Sumich on his soap box really should desist —

They'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!



[Chorus]

He's got 'em on the list — he's got 'em on the list;

And they'll none of 'em be missed — they'll none of 'em be missed

who trails in every race

Who fails to use his fist — I've got him on the list!

And the Jaeger who is sitting back well off the midfield pace

They never would be missed — they never would be missed!

Then there’s Banfield the half forward with enthusiastic tone

Whose family must bribe the club with pearls such that they own;

And big boned Lukey Ryan who tries to disguise his kick;

By booting down the line once more just thinking that they’re thick;

And Carmen Lawrence can’t remember Woodside’s on her list —

I don't think she'd be missed — I'm sure she'd not be missed!



[Chorus]

He's got her on the list — he's got her on the list;

And I don't think she'll be missed — I'm sure she'll not be missed!



[Executioner]

And that Jolly Joao that nuisance, who just now is rather rife

The sacker theorist — I've got him on the list!

Snuff and Taylor plus the mods who really need a life —

They'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed

And energetic MadEyeEmmy whom you might just find

That if she could she might just go and grab Nat Fyfe’s behind

And that ‘nnoying poster Ysaye who posts whilst on the loo

I think we should get rid of him; I’ll leave that up to you

But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list

For they'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!



[Chorus]

You may put 'em on the list — you may put 'em on the list;

And they'll none of 'em be missed — they'll none of 'em be missed!"

So you aren’t going to answer either question then?

Edit: the last 7 games this year were pretty exciting.

True about the last seven games. Preseason training reports also teased about an exciting game style. The bed was shat when the season was up for grabs between those short periods of excitement.
