Chris Connolly - the petition against

Featured Replies

Yep, I'm not interested in Connolly as head coach.

It would make dropping Daniher look profoundly stupid if all we do is sign up a coach who would give us nothing that we didn't already have.

Fremantle have underperformed drastically. They are only now rising to the level of hot-cold streaks and up-down seasons. The demons achieved that years ago, and do it better.

For christs sake, the man RECRUITED Tarrant! (Although, the whole deal may have just been to get rid of Medhurst)

Not to mention that Fremantle have the highest rate of both on-field and off-field discipline issues. And they aren't actually that 'tough' a team, so no excuses for the endless tribunal visits - it's not hard play it's careless, stupid play.

I could see Daniher crossing to coach Fremantle (and doing very well), but I can't really see Connolly being taken up anywhere else.

Maybe Demonland should run a poll and sent the result to the club.

Select one option -

Chris Connolly.

A stack of ripped bicycle tyres and a ferret name Gretel.

 
 
Im all for people being entitled to their own opinion, but what do u think yourself???

id be interested for anyone who thinks Connolly is a strong candidate to give some reason other than he played(not that well) for the Dees

I really don't think he is that bad. Anyone would have a tough time coaching down at Freo, with the way things are there. I know its a technicality, but he is their most succesful coach. At the end of last year everyone was talking him, and Freo up.

Now that Freo are doing poorly (mind you still a lot better than us), people love sticking the knives in

Would he be my no.1 choice, no

But i could think of a lot of worse choices than Chris


Consider it signed, the guys a nutjob

I actually like Chris Connolly and I think he would do a fair job as a coach but I'm looking for someone who can lift the club to another level. Don't know who that is but I somehow think that Connolly isn't in that category. We need a new approach, fresh ideas and one hellova tough bastard to overturn our brittleness when the pressure's turned on.

I lean towards a Michael Voss but, while I know he was a terrific footballer, I don't know whether he has the capacity to coach well at the highest level.

No frakkin' way is Chris Connolly coaching this club.

He's welcome here... just not when in control. I'd rather have just kept Danners.

 

what is it with the freo-melb lovefest? danners will probably go to freo and connoly to the dees, and then i will have to join benno


I'll definitely sign,

onwards and upwards we must go,

make sure Connolly gets the big heave ho!

Voss is the man for us!

sidenote: mousey thats a kool pic youve created of brock!


Add me to the "HELL NO" list.......


Don't you mean Grant Thomas?? I'd take Dale Thomas as a player anyday, but he just resigned with Collingwood :(

 

This Petition is hardly necessary.

Nobody, and I do emphasise Nobody, in their right mind would go for Connolly, with his track record.

Incidently I do consider the MFC Board to be in their right minds.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
