No when Gus says things like Griffin was 100% his choice. We didn't interview other's as we had our new coach. That makes him a target.
Saying we would have any new players at the club put him as a target. No football club in the world can guarantee such a thing. So to say it just gets him in the crosshairs.
While I agreed with Cleary being sacked. There was no need to mention it once it was done.
Hook maybe the best man to lead the team but how do we know? Not so much as an interview was done
The players loved Matt ElliottGus actually said that our cap was full and unless someone left, we wouldn’t be signing anyone. At least that’s what he said at the awards night.
He also re-signed Hook based on a recommendation from the playing group. I’m certainly not a coaching expert, but thats a pretty good sign.

We aren't performing that much better now. Bomb and hope was a stupid limited gameplan but it was a plan.Yeah and the team performed so well under him.
There was an entire post dedicated to Gus's decision making. Would be redundant to repeat that person's comment. My entire point was shooting people down for not having reasons when they do is silly. I never actually said what my stance on Gus is other than I don't always agree with the hate on Gus as I think he's made some good choices. You are getting strangely defencive over Gus.
I don’t like speculation as much as the next bloke, particularly on this forum, but, a lot of people saw him on the piss during the week, whilst the season was in full swing. So I’m not surprised to hear the stories and I don’t find it hard to believe.
As we learnt at the end of the season, where there is smoke, there is fire.

He took us to a top 4 finish with Walsh and Burns in the halves. I cant see Hook having done any better than him.Yeah and the team performed so well under him.
So the Moylan affair was the clubs fault?
You weren’t going to renew your membership because of a spoilt brat, who’d rather drink, snort coke and party than train hard with his team mates.
Really?

Elliott was a poor coach. But a lot of players had career best form under him or started off promisimg careers under him.
Elliott and Hook are very similar in quality for mine. Hook just has a much better roster to work with and support network.
We had our injuries pile up in the finals. Including through the games. Hook couldn't have done better with us than Cleary or Elliott back then.I don't think ME did won a finals game during his tenure at the club.

Before Cleary and Gus rebuilt the team and our production line of juniors Hook would have us winning about as many games as Brown at the Knights. Hook couldn't rebuild a team. Hell he cant decide on who he wants to play where with an established team. Imagine him going through a rebuild with no options.
What’s your Point? He doesn’t need to rebuild a team. He has options.... I don’t get what your saying?
ME is better than Hook??
Did ME have the same resources hook does? Hardly a like for like.
The players that liked him have long gone. As these players will be in 5-10 years. Whether they like the coach or not won't matter to the board in a results driven business
I thought the point was quiet obvious. Theres f**k all between them as coaches. Hook just had a better roster and off field circumstances handed to him.What’s your Point? He doesn’t need to rebuild a team. He has options.... I don’t get what your saying?

Some stories being banded around were very poor about his behaviour. Often from members of the club (footy team) who unlike some on here don't have a 'vested interest' in either rumourmongering and playing chinese whispers for shit and giggles.
I like Alice! She makes a lot of sense, you guys should pay attention to her.
This forum has officially peaked.
Do you think Hook could have dome any better with our team before Gus came in and fixed shit up?This forum has officially peaked.
