Under pressure.......

Post by Booney »

In light of Mathew Lloyd's "Under pressure" AFL people, who are your top 5?
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

1 - Alan Richardson, no doubt the Saints coach is on the chopping block, he inherited an ordinary list with it's only real stars being 30 or over and they've gone backwards year after year.

2 - Ross Lyon, Fremantle have won 8,8 and 4 games in the last 3 years playing a game well off the pace of even the middle ranked sides, must move with the times now or he's gone.

3 - Steve Hocking, continually tinkers with the game and it's rules to bring to life the "vision" the AFL executive have conjured up. The fans are restless at "interpretations" and constant rule changes, it better be for the good.

4 - Luke Beveridge, after the drought breaking win in 2016 the Bulldogs don't look to be the harmonious unit that played for each other and the coach that year.

5 - Hinkley, Pyke and Worsfold, all of their sides were expected to figure deep into the finals in 2018 and all of them were in Bali before the Elimination finals kicked off, all of them would be looking for a return to finals football.

Honorable mention :

North Melbourne, high profile big spending mildly successful recruiting spree.

I considered Beverage, but I think he's just outside the Top 5. Maybe he can replace one of the aforementioned coaches that are under pressure in the next year or 2?

Don’t be stupid!
Given his contract upgrade and extension I’m sure he is staying somewhere nicer this time.

Hinkley? Port have been happy with his mediocrity for some time now, I don't think the CFC are under much pressure, any finish over 14th would be a successful campaign.

I've said it before and i'll say it again - we literally cannot afford to sack Ken.

Tex Perkin played for WWT woman's team last Saturday. 3.4 goals. This is an AFLW thread isn't it. :D

How TF can a reigning premier be under pressure?

1. Jacob Weitering. Number 1 draft picks are always looked at and he has been mediocre at best. Gets dropped again this year he will be up for a trade.
2. Jesse Hogan. Leaving a club well and truly on the up for the dollars at Fremantle means its a 60 goal plus season or its a fail.
3. Jarred Polec.He has the weight of $800K when most believe that is $300K too much.
4. Sydney Swans. Three co captains and no room for the All Australian Captain. Isn't he a good role model?
5. Michelangelo Rucci. Looks to be spread too thinly with a full time radio gig and the Advertiser. The number one storyteller will be racking his brains for new stories,
