Sad isn't it?

He's probably referring to the new boys club. Inexperienced football manager hand picks next coach and holds a sham interview process. Outcome was decided long ago.

Boys clubs create unaccountability which has no place in AFL.

Should have atleast run a proper process.

The amateurish leaking of the sumich interview was the give away of the sham process. Pretty funny stuff, have learnt nothing.

So Ross is gone and still you find something to sling shit at Freo for? They just appointed a new coach. I don’t agree with their selection but we will just have to wait and see if it was the right one.

Don't u think it was funny that info from the Sumich interview was leaked in a negative way?

If the WAFL has taught us anything, boys clubs do not work out.

Do understand Brad Hardies concerns (though). He is an untried coach and Suma was a good candidate. But like he said Simpson has done wonders at West Coast.(space)When Suma was favoured for the role.
If Suma really want (wants) an AFL coaching job. (Maybe he should look at the) Adelaide Crows (who) have approached over 5 candidates for an interview.(Again no full stop) Including Ross Lyon and all 5 have declined an interview. No-one wants that job ATM.

FOF.

Are you an English teacher TFAF? I thought that this was a football site, not a grammar test. I could understand what GTRX was saying without the corrections. Pretty unnecessary and disrespectful I thought.

A good response mikeh. No not an english teacher but I would like some sort of english effort put into peoples writings. Even the response of FOF leaves people wondering. Just trying to help someone out.

keep in mind that the Eagles once appointed Craig, but in the face of public opinion, buckelled and nammed one of their own too.

Good point Ark, and let’s go way back to the very beginning. Eagles sacked their inaugural coach who guided them to 11 wins in their first season. Then messy sacking of John Todd, then Malthouse has a coffee with Eddie while he’s over to do the footy show and bingo, suddenly Mick has to go home for family reasons with a year to run on his contract.

Nah it’s all been rosey at the Eagles, let’s not forget that drug fuelled 2006 premiership. Their captain couldn’t get away quick enough. Everything was looking hunky dorey in 2019 until 2 days before the semi final against the Cats. Oops, another bump in the road. If it’s one thing that club is great at its wall papering over the cracks and pretending it didn’t happen or it’s no big deal.

Jeez TFaF...I think you were around when Grassy was on here...he must have done your head in as he did mine in that's for sure. 10,000 posts on FG and I don't think I understood a single one of them.
