I realise that port are having a shocking run with injuries but would their coach be in any danger of losing his job during the year or even at the end of the year ?

Dunno - we still generally play nice stuff, but we seem to have no luck.

We aren't far off, but whether that's injuries or tactics is hard to tell.

Simple question is, who would you replace him with? If there is no-one better out there then you just stick with him surely.

I'm not certain but i think he was extended til the end of NEXT season, some time last year.

There really does appear to be something lacking under his coaching, its hard to pinpoint exactly what it is though.

I think if Tim got hit by a bus tomorrow, Mark Tylor would get the job.

Nah its not really morbid, its a term thats quite often used without any intended or actual offence. Just a figure of speech.

Timmy will struggle to see the year out.

Looking into my crystal ball, I see his replacement being another former Port Magpie...

I heard an ex West, South, Glenelg, West, Centrals (Did I leave anyone out?) coach has already been approached by an ex-players group to take the job for 2 years until the river fills up enough for the yabbies to return.

Didnt he coach West Torrens as well? Coaching SANFL is becoming an old mans game!

its a tough one as much as i loved and respect Timmy Ginever as a player and Captain he just doesnt seem to have it......but in saying that Port have recruited poorly and have been racked by injuries..................................

the sad part in this saga as a Port Supporter, the once feared club is no more!!!!!...........wot we do to rectify this situation i dont know, but i get the feel there maybe alot going/gone on behind closed doors that has really impacted on player performance...............and the question remains if we change coach will that fix the problems and I guess in short the answer is no.....

That'd be great news if he got appointed (for the supporters of 8 other clubs). He was past it when he coached Centrals and that was nearly 20 years ago.

the fishin must be bad especially if your usin bait like this...

Timmy wont get sacked mid year. Port dont sack coaches mid year. I'd be incredibly shocked if he was given his marching orders mid year and to be honest I wouldnt agree with it in the slightest.

I dont believe he has lost the players or anything like that, but geez it would be nice if we could have a steady list instead of picking up crucial injuries every year.

Weve lost games by 20, 2, 3 and 22 points. 2 we should have won but for bad kicking and last nights game we had no bench at half time. We arent far off. A stable senior list would go a long way to fixing that. Its hardly crisis time just yet.

I do think that if we fail to make the finals this year then his coaching career could be over.

That's true, but they've never been in a situation where they've had to consider it ... except Cahill being replaced by Williams mid-1996 due to Power's inception in the AFL. I'm totally against sacking coaches mid-season unless he proves himself to be a basket case. I don't think Ginever is anywhere near that point.

And he was past it when he coached Torrens before that
Someones idea of a bad joke imho

With Respects. Having seen the opening game (Yes against Central's) the Port Players were only a goal down with 5 minutes to go, two late goals and it looked worse than it should have for them.

Fact is, results is what the caper is all about. Unfortunately Tim probably won't be there next season, unless the slim finals door is reached. Likely to pick up another coaching job either locally or in the VFL. He's probably a better coach than the list provides him with. It's simple 5 other clubs do have better playing lists this season. It looks as though this early out, Sturt, Glenelg, Central, North and the Eagles are the top half of the draw, the others not.

Why did Tylor move mid season from Port to Glenelg?

I dont know specifics, but my guess would be lack of opportunity due to other forwards such as Hodges being in the side, but i dont know exactly what the circumstances were.

Tims nightmare will continue next week at House Brothers Oval ........be there!
