Would be up there with one of the worst coaching appointments of all time. What a stupid idea.

Don’t sides usually save the coach sacking/pressure release for us?

Who will the AFL appoint as coach of them now?

This. Was the worst possible signing ever especially given how bad a coach he is. Maybe opening the door for Bucks.

I don’t think he’s necessarily a bad coach. Just that his style went out 15 years ago.

It didn’t work back then either. Didn’t he introduce flooding?

Agree.
Don’t think he is a bad coach but he went up their gung ho trying to change a party culture and it’s pretty clear the players don’t like change

Tom Lynch out for the rest of the season too

K Langdon and P Hasleby were discussing GC last night. They were struggling to work out how they managed to screw it up so badly. They had 1st dibs on the best young players for 1x draft + ongoing concessions in subsequent drafts but try to name a player, apart from S May who has developed into the player we all thought they would become? Jack Martin was supposed to be the best player for 5x drafts but several years down the track, would struggle to make the starting 22 of most other sides. Matera hasn’t come on. 2m Peter Wright is ok but really should be better. Caddy, Prestia + O’Meara are all elsewhere. They’ve got bugger all of any real value to trade out for picks and/or players. Most of the senior players they drafted have either, with the exception of G Abblett, stagnated or left. Now they’ve lost their 2nd coach. The Bears had an excuse for their early struggles on formation but GC can’t claim the same. They’ve benefited from the most extraordinary leg-up and have failed miserably. It’s actually hard to believe how they’ve done it.

Having a team full of young blokes in a City with brilliant weather, hot chicks on tap and plentiful booze and drugs. Yeah what could go wrong lol.
Joke of a franchise and everyone could see this coming from a mile away except Vlad.
Doesn’t help when you sign a gimmick player up on a million a year whilst blokes who have played footy all their lives are on a quarter of that and then instead of getting a few quality recruits you blow your budget on Ablett.
Merge them with Norf and send them to Tasmania
