You said the board made a mistake by picking a coach who wasn’t good enough and now you’re saying they should have stuck by him? If he wasn’t good enough, wouldn’t keeping him have been a case of “two wrongs don’t make a right”?

You said you don’t have confidence in the board to make the right appointment. Fair enough. I asked for your solution to that problem and I don’t see a clear answer to that question in your response.

Are you saying that you are OK with Sayers et al picking the coach as long as they stubbornly stick by their decision, even if the decision is clearly shown to be wrong two years later? Or are you saying you don’t want this board to make the selection? If it’s the latter, do you think the Carlton Now ticket has the expertise, connections and experience to make a better selection?

Hard to disagree with most of this.

Yeh but Azza if the media is too be believed the experiences coaches are running out. Buckley, Lyon, Clarkson and Pyke. So who is left? Not sure what is happening with Brad Scott and his AFL position, I would go for him personally.

If there someone we haven’t spoken about?

Have to laugh...haha.

What I am saying is that the board should stick by their decisions. If they sign up a coach they believe them to be the best coach at the time. If they sign up someone for a three year contract then they should back that coach for three years. Don't undermine a coach a year and a half into their contract. All of the coaches can coach. Some of them are better than others. However, results don't just lie at the feet of the coach. There is recruitment. There is development. There is medical. They all play a part. The thing is that while Sayers was on the board they have sacked four coaches. Was it the coaches fault or the board that didn't have faith in their original decision?

so just a little recap on Drip Lyon. twice goes on national tv sprouting himself as the best option to coach Blues in 2022, while Teague was still contracted in the first instance.

then this verbal diarrhoea issues forth from his pie hole ::

"I reached out to Luke and we connected … I said I just wanted some clarity," Lyon told Channel 9 on Wednesday night about his conversations with Sayers.

"They've put the panel together, but everyone says the word 'process' … there's lots of things that can go into a process. What does it look like? Is it a PowerPoint? Is it question and answer? Is it an interview? What is it?

"Anyone can run a process, it's about your quality of process and what sits within that. I said I just need some clarity and Luke was terrific. He said they were just putting some finishing touches on, which they've clearly done with the panel.

"The other part of that is clearly what the process looks like, because it's just a word. What sits within that, the mechanics and what needs to be delivered? That's what I'm unaware of and when that's put to me … then you sit down.

INDICATIVE DRAFT ORDER Top 10 locked in, your club's picks

"Yeah, I'm interested in the process. But I've got to make sure I fit that process."

ok so i’m taking a wild guess here and guessing that Patty Kinnersley on the appointment committee is too much process for this petal of a flower to fit with. thanks for playing Ross, you’ve done yourself proud, again.

Collingwood sacked Buckley at the bye round and he still had a year to go on his contract
After 14 weeks of searching for a coach and being knocked back by Pyke Lyon and Clarkson they have appointed McCrae.
Buckley was a 10 year coach

We sacked Teague last week and people are up in arms that we haven't appointed a new coach.


What people need to remember is Clarkson and Lyon were both sacked and the same applies to Brad Scott.
I didn't mind Lyon but If I was head hunting for a coach I would be trying to poach one that is currently employed not one that was sacked and on unemployment benefits

I'm not on the ticket bro.

But yeah - club has lost it's way past 20 years and the bloke who has been on the board half of that is pulling the strings anoited by a benefactor from the Gold Coast that barely watches a game.

Now these clowns want to take rights away from members from having a say in turn to strengthen their grip on power meaning Mathiesons will forever run the club and anoit whoever he wants to anoit from Gold Coast.

As for senior coaches - the billionaires ahve failed the club they have done well with the finance side of the club but they are clueless beyond comprehension on football club sensitivities and matters.

They are just corporate idiots not ELITE sports people. This club needs a Beveridge.

I'd pay Clarkson to engage in the review process, knowing full well we're not appointing him and that the new coach that we do hire eventually gets some shine out of it because we've come out and said that this is the guy we've put our faith in and was the best candidate for the job inclusive of Clarkson.

What’s happened
The new sheriff wants Teague gone and wants Clarko as first preference and if not Clarko the arrogant outdated creipo Lyon
Sheriff treats Teague like shit hangs him out to dry whilst Clarko makes up his mind
Clarko decided to have the year off and Ross the toss is going to be the new coach because the sheriff wants a hard experienced man to get the best of the list
The sheriff has no @#$%&! idea with the old messiah approach which hasn’t worked for 20 @#$%&! years
But wait sanity finally prevails
There are some sane people on the board like Patty who say to sheriff that flower won’t be coaching us
So sheriff has to put his dick back in his pants
Now we have a proper process and hopefully the sub committee which includes Patty and a guy who is old but unlike Simba not a creipo and not outdated in Parko to get the best candidate

Of course the moral of this little tale
Keogh is always right
