I don’t think I said sack him but just as he accepts praises for winning he has to cop some heat for the losses. He has lost 3 Prelims now and the last 2 were perfectly set up for you.Booney wrote:Jim05 wrote:Drew towelled up Libba 3 weeks ago.

Can't only be the players.
It's not all the players, for sure, but the plan worked 14 of 19 times last year and 18 of 23 times this year, the body of work tells you the plan works, it's down to how well its executed.
Hinkley didn't get out marked by Naughton. Hinkley didn't miss tackles. Hinkley didn't allow the midfield to run away into space.
So you sack him for a bad night and ignore the 2 years prior?

If so, why is he being hyped up as the reason for Sydney's resurgence and Carlton's next coach if he's a spud?
There's no doubt coaches have an impact on every game and how sides present but that's a team of coaches, forward, back, mid, mindfulness, confidence in your physical shape and then your own headspace as a player. So many factors go into being "game ready".
Leigh Mathews, perhaps the greatest ever player and 4 time premiership coach thinks come Grand Final day coaches are almost worthless, the work has been done, it's now up to the players to do the job.

Finishing top 4 and making prelims? I f*cking hope so!
You blokes seem to think making a prelim is easy.

I still think the players all thought they were in the GF already.
How could you possibly tell? What did they want? What did they need? What did they get? It's impossible to measure that.
If they did I highly doubt it was because it was written on a white board.
This one falls at the players feet for mine, they were inept and they have no excuses.

Looks like Schofield is going to West Coast, Voss must be in the running at Carlton and the likes of Bassett and Montgomery have been there for a while, I'd say at least 2 move on. I think Bassett is the one that needs to go, as forward line coach he's responsible for all forward ball movement and that has failed us time and time again. Defensively ( Saturday night aside ) we're as good as any but we need to improve going forward.

This is where it will get tricky for Port, how do you get quality assistants in if Ken's future is clouded? Will an assistant come to SA on a 1-2 year contract?
If you lose 3 of the Assistants you mention above thats a huge hole to fill.

The blame for Saturday night must lay at the feet of the players. As Hinkley said on Friday the preparation couldn't have been better, every thing was in place and it was now over to the players to execute and they didn't. Once the ball bounced on Saturday night the coaching staff couldn't have done any more, it was down to the playing group and in that first 15 minutes they simply didn't show up. Credit to the Dogs though, they certainly did.
That's why that trust is damaged.

Yeah mate.
Unless we go on a camp that is plagued in controversy.
Or pay a player to play SANFL 2 years after giving up two first rounders for them.
Or pay a former club great to go back to his old club to play.
Or have two former club champions have a public spat about one of them not feeling welcome at the club.
Or sack the coach.
Or sack the CEO.
Or sack the chairman.
Or finish bottom.
Or have a leader use disgusting racial comments towards an indigenous player.
Or take on the North Adelaide residents to find a home.
But we all know that would never happen, let alone at the one club.
