:bash so the first victim of the coaching world has marched out. Based on current performances, who would be the next coach to be in risk of joining the centrelink queue??? IMO i think that Connolly is gone, and i wouldnt be surprised to see a 'swap' with him heading to Melb and Daniher to Freo.
 
Think Laidley is safe Connolly will probably be the next to go before season is out & Sheedy I think might hang up the whistle at seasons end.
 
Connolly would be my bet for the next Coach to get the ARSE, or resign before getting the ol chop chop.

Sumich or McKenna (depending whether he goes for Deees job) to replace him at Frockers for mine.
 
I was thinking that Connolly was next (and he's still not safe), but after today's performance Pagan must be looking dodgy.

Most Carlton supporters have had enough of the beltings and although he has one more year on his contract, I can't see Pratt putting up with mediocrity for too long.

Having said that, if Freo look like missing the eight, Connolly's gone.

There will certainly be a few assistants around the league who are touching up their CV's.
 
I take back Connolly and reckon that both Connolly and Pagan will get the arse respectively at years end, the more i look at their pozzies the more it seems to me that this will be the case.

I dont even believe sneaking into the 8 will save Connolly at this stage of things.
 
I reckon that Eade could be in trouble. He nows less about recruiting than anyone and he has a team of midgets to prove it.

My mate rekons that Laidley is gunna announce that he is going to freo after connley gets the arse.
 
How does Wallet escape this poll and speculation. In terms of teams going backwards, with some allowance for injury, we are clearly the next worst team this season.

This bizarre. Can I vote for the solarium dwelling Wallet?
 
There's an option to vote other and specify Turbo but I suspect the fact Terry is building the list with a couple of years left on his contract I he's pretty safe from the axe.

It's interesting that a lot of people here had Clarkson at the top of their chop list before his contract extension last year. Just goes to show what a little faith in the coach can achieve and how it's probably good that we're not in a position to decide a coaches fate.

Mate - Wallace is a gun and he nows more about footy than anyone. The board should sign him for another 2 years to that moneybags pratt guy doesnt steal him and take him to cralton like he did with the manager of collingwood.

Yeah, you are right. Gun coaches often take their teams from last to ninth, then back to last (three years later). That is the sign of a superstar coach that should have his contract extended!

Now on a serious note – in any other field of human endeavour Wallet would not be spared for his appalling management of our list. Have we become so used to losing that we now simply accept this terrible performance? If so we should all be ashamed.

because this is a richmond supporters site and we are willing to give him time to prove himself. he is in the 3rd year of a rebuild and has rid the club of a lot of experienced players and has been playing a heap of youngsters which means he is coaching the most inexperienced team in the league.

Let’s look at some facts:
- in 2003 we were last under Frawley;
- Wallet & Miller took our money claiming to be rebuilding our list;
- in 2006 under Wallet we finished ninth; and
- now we are once again the worst side in the entire comp!

Earth to Mopsy – WHAT HAPPENED HERE?

Either his is so incompetent at list management that he should be sacked, or … no that’s right, there are no other options.

You don’t aimlessly yo-yo up and down the ladder if you have a decent vision and direction.

his first ever post in 2005 went along the lines of this " hi i`m a long suffering tiger fan,and the first thing i want to talk about is lance franklin".
over 2 years and 400+ posts later nothing much has changed.

Back then I was bagged, but my views on Franklin have been proved right. He is clearly the best player from that draft, and Bling is probably the most over-rated.

But thanks for reminding me of those days, they were the good old days ;)
