Coaches unlikely to survive past this year?

[mightytiges]

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.

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

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.

Hard to see Lade getting a senior coaching job after just one year as assistant coach the way these days they select from a shortlist of candidates. Brendon Sanderson I heard is one they are keen on. Port actually wanted Hardwick last year if Dimma didn't win the gig with us.

The Age lists Leppitsch and Cambo as possible candidates


Brenton Sanderson (Geelong)
Dean Laidley (Port assistant - possible caretaker)
Ken Hinkley (Geelong) .... added to the list by Ch 7
Brett Montgomery (Carlton)
Jade Rawlings (Brisbane)
Mark Riley (Carlton)
Peter Sumich (West Coast)

Similarly, assistant coaches Alan Richardson from Essendon and Mark Neeld from Collingwood were on the shortlist for the Richmond job and would be obvious candidates for Port's recruitment people to speak with. Justin Leppitsch, now at Richmond, Stephen Silvagni (St Kilda), Scott Burns (West Coast), Leon Cameron (Bulldogs) and Wayne Campbell (Richmond) are all the types of assistants who would feature in any field for a top job.

"Matthew Knights - Your time for the blowtorch"

"Essendon's heirachy must be effing kicking themselves at letting hardwick go."

Have to admit when I followed the links to BB and saw this pic, I thought you beauty ... all we need now is for Essendon to Keep Knights for another 18 months ... just to make sure they stay at the bottom for the next decade and a half ... mind you ... Knighta if you love the Tiges how about trading us your first pic for Jake King and Jordan McMahon

haha yeah i read on BB the person who said there are club crisis talks is apparently on work experience at the herald sun and recieved a text from a worker there. So not the great's source one wouldnt think.

The best thing we can hope for is that Carlton, Brisbane and Essendon keep their coaches long term.

Yes the current status quo is quite enjoyable 

[Francois Jackson]

its a beautiful thing watching and hearing those Bombers fans. Its up there with our resergence in my eyes.

what a pathetic bunch of losers those Bombers fans are. Crapping on about getting rid of the Richmond cancer that has infested their club...lol

Idiots need to be reminded where one Kevin Sheedy played..ooh thats right he doesnt count...

[tiger101]

haha i had a laugh today how knights used the example of bomber thompson having hard times before winning a premiership as a coach.

[mightytiges]

When the Essendon club president this morning says we'll review where we are at as a club at the end of the season it's not a great sign for the coach.

The worst sign is if the club president says he is right behind the coach. You know the coach is going to be sacked  .

[Ramps]

I hope they keep him another 2 years so he can finish the job

I've heard that rumour too with Collingwood of course where he supposedly wants to end up  but wasn't Fev was interviewed today and said "Melbourne if you're watching I ain't coming back".
