* Hutchy said he didn't get it wrong as he said on Tuesday morning it was a "near certainty" and a "high probability" that Terry would be sacked rather than saying he was sacked
.
* Hutchy's chain of events:
Sunday
Terry said after the game to Morton that you cost me my job. Some players took exception to it.
Monday
- Newy and King went to Terry and asked him to step down. Terry was surprised as he believed he had the players full support. Terry came back later to them knowing he had the numbers and turned it back onto Newy and the rebel 4-5 players (Newy, Simmo, Sugar, King) and told them if you want me sacked you have to sack me.
Tuesday
- Terry expected to be sacked heading to the special meeting.
They then showed vision of Hutchy following Plough to his car asking him if he was disappointed (Hutchy thinking he had been sacked) and Plough saying it was all good.
Showed vision of the senior players leaving March's office. Richo said no comment. Joel was asked if he and players supported the coach. Joel just repeated we were 1-7, we aren't playing well so we needed to have a team meeting which isn't unusual and we want to get a win against Essendon.
Cameron was next and said to Hutchy what he told the media at the press conference. Frustrations can happen after games so it was just a meeting to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Hutchy claimed he saw Terry and Gary March in the lobby while the players decided the coach's fate.
They grievances discussed at the meeting were:
Constant change of the gameplan
The style of the gameplan
Team selection - players getting games when they don't deserve it.
Lyon said it was extraordinary that Jake King an ordinary fringe player could feel he could demand the coach's resignation. The funniest thing he's heard for a while.
Hutchy never asked Newy if he asked the Plough's resignation as Hutchy claims he didn't know about it at the time.
Morton today said he made a mistake and deserved to get yelled out. Disappointed it got out. He and Terry were fine after 2 hours and we've always had a good relationship. I'm still learning as I've only played 30 games and I'll learn from it.
Lyon said players are there to play. Not dictate when a coach goes.
Sam said old timers like GR and Ian Wilson would be furious at the poor management of the club.
