Thanks for the concern, but I'm going fine thanks. I wasn't laughing at Adelaides player management, I'm just surprised how many have walked out of such a good "culture" over the last few years.
Anywho, I'm still thinking it will be Eade to take the job and if not Hinkley. As Hinkley has been touted for many senior roles over the last few years he is clearly close to getting a job somewhere and who is to say that Richmond picked right with Hardwick over Hinkley, GC with McKenna over Hinkley, Melbourne with Neeld etc etc.
As for Leon Cameron, if he was offered the job as we are led to believe and decided within 24 hours of visiting the GWS set-up to ignore a senior role to accept a succesion plan under Sheedy then good luckto him but I'd be confident that someone who either backs out of a deal ( if there was one ) or decides his future in under a day isnt thinking things through very clearly or simply took the $$$ on offer.
I knew it would be a tough gig getting someone to come to Port, we're damaged goods at the moment. It also represents a great challenge that could be very rewarding for someone to come along and turn us around off field.
Perhaps some of these blokes aren't interested in the pressure associated with the job. You'd think some would thrive on the opportunity.
or, maybe, people just dont want a $hit job and Leon Cameron is thinking things through very clearly.
I actually doubt Eade will take it - he is part of a wealthy, well run, top 4 footy club that can pull in 50k of their own spectators every week - the complete opposite of Port Power.
Plus, I dont think he's got the minimum 5 years it's going to take to get Port anywhere near the top 4.
