Agreed, the season is still alive FFS and they are worried about next April :? Shows how much they really care about the team.....^^^^ Exactly El D.
At least that part of the article gets right to the crux of what's behind all this sacking DA talk - the f**king Board just trying to look after themselves in April's election.
Put the club before yourselves for once, pack of merkins :evil:.
For the record, I think if we miss the finals, it's not good enough and he does have some questions to answer.
Whats disappointing though is someone obviously leaking that we spoke to Kearney at such a critical stage of the year.

Well this story has legs, Ossie was down in Melbourne to talk to Kearney. So Slothfeild on this occasion could be on the money.says Rothfield
as I said, sometimes we laugh about what he says. sometimes we take it as gospel :lol:

I hope you are right, Ando definately deserves another season at least.Yes, Ossie spoke to Melbourne. And slothfield has then tossed it out there and made the link to the election on his own. He just tagged that bit on at the end. 1 plus 1 equals 3. Board elections in April, board wants next year to start well (who wouldnt?) must mean board want to sack anderson to make sure they get a good start next year :lol:
I would say changing coach is the way to guarantee a slow start as it takes time to gel.
I would also say paying a coach out is a way to guarantee you'll piss of members right before an election
Therefore, I think Rothfield is full of sh*t. Once again.
I hope you are right, Ando definately deserves another season at least.
I agree. Unless we get 2 quailty signings before seasons end then questions have to asked if we don't make the finals. I like Ando but he seems to have sat on his hands when it comes to signing players and re-signing any current ones. He let a few go with really no replacements. Mateo was thrown heaps of $$$ so we can't blame Ando for that. But he should have had a replacement by now can't just hope some juniors come thru the u20's are last and the Wenty are struggling to make the finals, the SG Ball squad is still a couple of years away so we need to recruit from out side for a Half, Winger/Centre and backrower lock. We have no signatures yet.Perhaps, but as I said, if we miss the finals, he does have some questions to answer, particuarly if we fail to make any quality signings, and a case could be made for punting him.
Well, personally, I believe he's more-or-less stuffed up this year, no recruitment, poor season overall, but whatever, I don't really hold him in contempt for it at all. Sacking a coach after a poor season won't get us anywhere and we'll end up in a state worse than the blues. Although, as you said, it would be understandable to an extent if the board do try to punt him.Perhaps, but as I said, if we miss the finals, he does have some questions to answer, particuarly if we fail to make any quality signings, and a case could be made for punting him.

On that bit el d posted about the election influencing the decision
There's no quotes, just some Rothfield speculation.
Somedays we'll laugh at what he says. Somedays we seem to take it as gospel truth depending on what we want to believe
Go figure :crazy:

Geez, it's not rocket science coming up with the only reason for why Ossie would have been meeting Kearney in Melbourne... many people didn't need Rothfield to make it clear for them.Yes, Ossie spoke to Melbourne. And slothfield has then tossed it out there and made the link to the election on his own. He just tagged that bit on at the end.
