Coaches unlikely to survive past this year?
« on: July 03, 2010, 09:03:58 PM »
I know Knighter is contracted until 2012 IIRC but absolute uncompetitive floggings like tonight make Football Club Boards very edgy. The Bombers are going nowhere with that crap midfield.

Williams (contracted till 2011) and Worsfold will be lucky to survive also. Premiership coaches but it looks like both their times are up.

Knights wont last at Essendon long term infact short term he could be in trouble. As for us weve got the best coaching staff possible probably the best weve had for over 2 decades.

The fact we've got a premiership player of theirs as coach won't please them either. Dimma was right to tell them they needed a complete rebuild but the Essendon Board didn't want to hear it.

Knighter and Camporeale caught laughing on camera in the coaches box when they were 10 goals down hasn't gone down well with Bomber fans either.

Worsfold will survive he has a plan and the smokescreen is publically declaring that we don't want to finish last and.............. We've all heard it.

Bombers are in real trouble.Take out Hille Fletcher and their side really looks threadbare.

Gumbleton has not come on as expected and they have too many of these Nick Daffy type of players. Players who play in the midfield and fwd line who are capable of a brilliant and flashy thing bit but no consistency and no real substance.

The unfortunate thing for them is they could call it an aberration as prior to the break they lost 2 or 3 games narrowly and be in denial saying with a bit of luck we could be 8-6 instead on 5-9.  :lol :rollin :lol

1-Worsfold
2- Knights (James Hird to continue coaching from his Herald/Sun Desk)
3- Neil Craig

Hawthorn has played themselves into form so Clarkson is definately safe I think. You may still add Choco to the list but I think he will get to have one more attempt.

Knights as second on the list is disappointing, really they needed a rebuild when he took the helm. The injuries that have occured at Essendon have only added to Matty's pain and should not be a reflection upon him himself (I may be biased).

If Worsfold survives a wooden spoon year then we know for sure they are tanking.

LOL @ Nick Daffy types  ;D. That all sounds very much like us late 90s.

Port Adelaide set to sack Mark Williams

PORT Adelaide is understood to be poised to cut ties with premiership coach Mark Williams.

The uneasy union could be finished as soon as tonight, when Port plays Collingwood at AAMI Stadium.

Knighter should be feeling a little uneasy now. Choco to Bombers is looking very very likely

he cannot be done as an AFL coach. He is too good to be washed up.

Port's Board and admin should be following Williams out the door. They are mostly to blame for where the club is at and didn't have guts to change coaches last year. At least Williams can walk away as a premiership coach which is more than most ex-coaches can say when given the flick.

Bomber fans calling for the change already lol.

just got off the phone with a mate who is a keen port follower and he is adamant he wants Lade and the support over there is growing.

Lade wants to coach that part is obvious why else would a laid back country boy move to Melbourne, i just hope he stays put a little while longer.

Best case scenario is Laidley does a Rawlings and puts together a few cheap wins and Port fall for the 2 card trick, which thankfully we didn't.
