Would it be too hard to state our position and then stick to it? Be consistent in the message we send?
Rebuild
Coach is safe
Coaching position will be reviewed in the second half of the season
We may have to look at it sooner
We'll look at it in two weeks
The media are going to be relentless for the next two weeks speculating about our decision. Rather than it being open ended we've committed to a two week window. The pressure won't be off for two weeks, it'll be concentrated.
We're so [REDACTED] I'd almost rather be Essendon** right now.
Everything we've said we've then contradicted ourselves later.
Our reputation is going to be even more shot that it already is.
Someone speculated last week that Malthouse had a clause in his contract that said he couldn't be sacked mid-season. I suspect its more along the lines of there being additional payout if he is. Clearly we can't afford that, and that's the only reason he's still here.
This thing stunk after the West Coast game in round 2. As soon as we mentioned rebuilds then it was clear we knew we were [REDACTED] and we've spent the last 6 weeks dancing around it, creating diversions, deflecting, different story every week, looking a bunch of morons everytime we open our mouths.
Stop the fan engagement. Its a good idea, but we're an embarrassment everytime we say anything.
Tell him his contract won't be re-newed.
Let him decide if he wants to coach out the season.
Shut the @#$%&! up.
Take a look in the room of mirrors.
Hire someone with a clue about public relations and don't open our traps until they've approved anything we're going to say.
We're an absolute rabble at the moment. Its going to take a long, long time to get back and because our reputation is shot there won't be many people who want to join us, work with us, support us, have anything to do with us.
Supporters (members) are walking away.
Football people won't have a thing to do with us.
Sponsors will be next.
We're [REDACTED]!
Good leadership from the board.
New coach with a vision of the future not the past
Few top line players
Coupla years.
Cant be done?
Look at Port. They were us about four years ago. Couldn't find a coach but look at the one that found them.
They have two or three top line players. Marquee players. So have we. Gibbs, Yarran, Casboult when he kicks straight will be a cut figure.
They have leg speed now after a ruthless off season. We have the makings of a fast, fit team in Yarran, Walker for a couple of years, Touhy, The other two Irishes, BB, Bucjley, Bell has the tank, Curnow has one, Walker has one as well as speed. Plus we have some good, meat and potatoes players who go hard at it and clear the footy.
Add a few top line draft picks and all of a sudden things don't look too bad. It's between the ears. The game plan sucks and the players know it.
We need a theme song before the game so we can really be like Port.
