bandicoot 1,395 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 At this rate, Mark Neelds tenure will last until about round 10. 1. Who is likely to be the caretaker coach? 2. Who do we want to be the new coach?
Norm Smith's Curse 2,602 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Im gonna be honest - i think he's gawn!
Bring-Back-Powell 15,534 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Jade Rawlings as care taker. Go for Mark Thompson if he still has any hunger left.
bandicoot 1,395 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Jade has had experience in the caretaker role. I'm willing to give my whole yearly salary to bring Thompson in ;-)
Norm Smith's Curse 2,602 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Get the club some good peptides - its our only hope.
ThreeOneSix 954 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Thompson won't coach anywhere else. Paul Roo's would be ideal, but he wouldn't be silly enough to take the gig. As a side note, I know Roo's is a [censored], but I've liked our past 3 coaches and look how that's turned out.
ding 5,126 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I fear that our next coach will be our last. Surely we cant survive much more of this garbage. 7 Years and still finding ways to get worse. How is that even possible.
What 18,810 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 as long as Gary Lyon is not involved we should be ok

Norm Smith's Curse 2,602 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Port had enough trouble attracting a coach - good luck getting anyone interested now.
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Grow a pair of balls and throw big dollars at Paul Roos. Stop [censored] farting around with untried coaches who have no friggin idea. Get a proven premiership coach and get serious. We can't afford to continue this downward spiral or we won't survive.
Forest Demon 4,681 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Does anyone really think it matters who the coach is. Not defending Neeld, but the issues at this club are far greater than just the coach. We could have Leigh Mathews, Paul Roos, Sir Alex Ferguson, or whoever, we would still be [censored].
Forest Demon 4,681 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Last year I had the feeling the supporter base was maybe 75-25 in Neeld's favour. But after just four more quarters of football, I think it would be 25-75, or probably even worse. Up there as the worst footballing day this club has had in my time supporting.
Good Times Grimes 2,396 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 The fact of the matter is, if the majority of your players have pea hearts, it doesn't matter who the coach is.
Forest Demon 4,681 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 No Forest, it's the coach. You honestly think he is the only problem. I am not defending him at all, far from it. I just think we also have a lot bigger problems at play than a bad coach.
Nasher 33,651 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Seems unlikely that one man is solely the problem in a cast of thousands that include premiership players, experienced assistants, an experienced coach, the best fitness guy in the business and so on. I don't know what the problem is though, so I can understand why people just give up trying to work it out and just put a bullet in the coach.
Hardnut 327 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Sorry Forest - it is the coach (and some of the other coaching and non-coaching staff). Last year the players were blamed, we had a big turn over, and here we go again. Perhaps we should look outside our shell and ask what Hinkley did at Port in only a few months to at least have them playing a good style of football - they will face tougher opponents and lose, but at least they are on a good development path, in contrast to our own!
deeflog 679 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 do people really think its the coach? how many coaches do these players want to kill before the penny drops and they realise they dont have a long time in this game. these blokes really need to pull their heads out of their arses and start having a real crack on the field because the coach cant teach application
Damo 3,464 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Denis PaganMaybe that's a joke but after reports that there was a confident happy air about training yesterday and then seeing no improvement at the MCG today....At least he wouldn't [censored] down my back and tell me it's raining.
Return to Glory 8,518 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 It is the coach. The alarm bells came with the overly tough talk at the start. Get Roos.
Return to Glory 8,518 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I don't give a stuff if you think Roos is a [censored]. He gets players buying in. Neeld has not done this.
