For mine, the positive is that Hawthorn are a better chance at beating Geelong than Adelaide are. End of positives

His justification is that it was his nickname when he came to them. Jeffo’s nickname was the Magician, AJ’s nickname was Peaches. I rest my case 😁

I hope Rankine’s watching this. I hope the message is not lost on him. He’s not only homophobic, he’s stupid and he’s selfish. His teammates didn’t deserve this.

You expect a coach to (quote)… can the board bring stability with new president & ceo no more infighting .. support the footy dept , nail the home base, no more leaks, questioning the off field stuff You left out washing the dishes and performing surgery on injured players. He’s a coach ffs

It’s an appointment for a coach, not the secretary-general of the United Nations.

8yo me is laughing her freaking head off at this 🤣🤣🤣

Boy the Hawks luvs them a throw or 50

Please do. I could do with a good laugh Hashtag probs will be none the wiser

Just my opinion: it’s totally acceptable that Kingy stays with Geelong until their 2025 campaign is over. It’s the same as Paul Guerra remaining in his previous employment until such time as his work was completed before coming to us. For mine it’s a testament to good character that they don’t jump ship immediately thus leaving their current employers in the lurch.

We didn’t understand this the first time you said it. You think by adding extra letters we will now? 😅

The whole post should be censored 😃

Nailed it, EO. The methods of the 1950s should remain in the 1950s. Unrelated: how come we’re all talking in Helvetica and you’ve gone all Times New Roman on us? 😁

You do realise it was a media address and not halftime in a match, right?

Uhm… I don’t just hug indiscriminately, ya know. I’m a discerning hugger, not a nilly-willy hugger. I have a ‘hug list’ (true story, ask the other track-watchers) and I don’t yet know if Kingy will make the cut. Yeah nah, I’ll bring a stepladder to Gosch’s 🤪

I’m so pleased with the positive comments on here. I was dreading reading this thread but needn’t have been. Seems almost everyone is embracing this appointment 🥳 It’s only been a couple of hours, we’re still kicking the tyres, but to anyone who’s receiving this news with negative thoughts please consider this… I was arguably Goody’s #1 fan. I was shattered when he was sacked and couldn’t imagine warming to any other coach. At the time I despised the new coach and I didn’t even know who it was, such was my heartbreak. So… If I can get behind our new coach from day dot, anyone can. And not just get behind him but support him and have full trust in him, welcome him wholeheartedly. Here’s the thing… he’s our coach whether folks like it or not. B!tcching and moaning won’t change that. Before his appointment, when the interviews were still underway, of course there were negative and positive comments about all the candidates and that’s perfectly normal. But the nanosecond Steven was given the job, the negativity needs to stop because it immediately becomes unproductive and a waste of time and energy. It won’t change anything. GOOD LUCK KINGY!!!

Within the hour, apparently

WELCOME TO THE MFC STEVEN! ❤️💙 You have our support ❤️💙

Not pointless at all. I mean, you started a thread called Shane McAdam Vs Jack Martin and no one told you it’s pointless and meaningless. That’s not to say no one felt that way, many probably did, they’re just not rude and disrespectful enough to say it to you 😉 #”Cranky”IsAnUnderstatement

Technically it can also be named after someone who’s still living. It’s just that it’s not common.

It’s never too late to be more understanding and supportive 🙂

It wasn’t the serious injury that got him to where he is now. My point is the serious injury hasn’t dampened his enthusiasm nor his will to succeed. In fact, it’s bolstered his commitment. Shane came to us, as you say, not in proper condition and not with the right attitude. That’s because he and Adelaide weren’t on the same page. They weren’t a good fit. I’m not blaming Adelaide for how Shane was at that time, I’m saying it wasn’t working for him nor Adelaide. I like to think our new coach will take this into consideration. Another big difference between us and Adelaide with respect to Shane’s ‘transformation’ is that Adelaide doesn’t have Matty Whelan.

Please let’s just enjoy being second on a ladder, any ladder. 😜

Yeah apparently their membership numbers soared when the AFL decided to allow imaginary people in the count.
