Told up front start of the season deliver us a flag or you're done.
Whispers during the season that they were keen for a player/coach to take over next year and had lined up their man.
Delivers them said flag in one of the most challenging seasons ever.
Less than two weeks later advert goes up for coaches.
The advert makes it seem certain that the mid-year rumours were true and this decision was always coming regardless of the outcome of the season.
The bloke takes your club to your first premiership in god knows how many years, finishes top 3 most years it seems and you reward him with pushing him out the door? Surely out of respect you allow him that opportunity to decide if he wishes to go on next year - he deserves at least that - and if he does then you allow him one more season.
He has hardly missed a trick.
The zed has been royally banged in the backside.
Sounds pretty f**ked up. If they have a playing coach already lined up why they wasting people's time advertising?
Are you sure its not in their constitution to advertise said positions?

Even if it was then then it wouldn’t be a shock when told to reapply. We parted ways with Zwecky a long time ago under completely different circumstances and looking back now it was hardly Steve’s fault and as a club we were in a far different position. From an outsider looking in this looks incredibly harsh given the current scenario.

Coaching is a harsh gig sometimes. As a player your loyalty is generally in your hands, much less so as a coach.

New clubrooms, junior growth and then decide the person who has been a big part of making the club relevant isn't worthy of taking the club forward on this journey. You are a Div 5 club that's had one really big year. So what!!! Blood on your hands Lockleys FC. You deserve to stay mediocre.

Yep, had this confirmed by couple of Lockleys people today. Mentioned earlier on here they were wanting a player coach, so Plugger (Matt McDonough) been appointed.
Many Lockleys people (and posters on here!) thought they would win the flag in a canter with their gun team, so the fact they fell in by a point in the GF was the nail in the coffin for the coach.
Seems a tough call, but were rumblings around the place later in the season. Time will tell, just because a bloke played a couple of AFL games and never lived up to his reputation does not necessarily make him a good coach?
