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!

Nope, now way dont want Connolly here

x

Consider it signed


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

Add me to the list. I am starting the no Sumich, no Conolly, no Thomas petition.


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.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
