Just wondering out loud, but perhaps the board (rightly or wrongly) have identified Madge as the desired man to take over from Kev, and knowing he cannot or will not come in 2025, figure they will keep their powder dry. Give Kev the first 10 rounds, and if it's working great, if not, pull the...
Hey there BF :)
I know people on here are often aggressive and take a crack at each other, and that's often the default interpretation of the words on the screen, and I can see how you could have taken my words as if I was being a smartarse - but I wasn't mate, I was asking a real question, I'm...
"Kev has had his hands all over the roster. The choices to punt Flegler and Herbie were horrendous. "
I don't think this is entirely true. Reports were that Kev desperately wanted to keep at least Herbie, the front office failed, and Kev was furious. To say that Kev punted Herbie I really don't...
The obvious concern about Trent is his record as head coach is abysmal, but he does have an OK record as assistant, so it's not a guaranteed failure of an appointment. It comes with question marks, which is why I said 'concern' and not stronger language.
BT is an interesting one. I said "he...
I'd be OK with sacking KW if there was a proven option available, by which I mean so good, and so obvious, there'd be very little disagreement about it from anyone. Because I don't think we have that, and because Kev did take us to the GF in '23, I'm OK with him staying, but only if the right...
Most likely reality is you are right. Melbourne probably occupy a lot more of our headspace than we do of theirs.
If Bellyache rests half the team this week and goes full strength (or close) in the last round it's probably because he thinks it's the best strategy for his team/players...
Rubbish.
How about if they field a full strength team against us it's because Bellyache is a salty old fool that still loves beating us more than any other team?
How about if they field a full strength team against us it's because they know what Brisbane is capable of IF they manage to put it...
Hey Sproj, what is about Walsh that you think he can be a 7?
I can see a 6 in him no problem, but a game managing half?
I just can't see it, even if I squint and try really hard.....but maybe I am missing something?
He took over the wooden spoon team in 2021, in an absolute shambles, and at least improved them a bit in his first year.
Anyone who counts that first year against KW's record has an agenda against him.
You're right that sometimes you don't know if the replacement is better, but equally sometimes there are signs. What I mean is there's a big difference between hiring a rookie or Bellamy. I know we are not getting Bellamy but you get the point.
Bottom line, I don't think it's a good plan to sack...
Much like you shouldn't drop a player if the replacement isn't better, you can't sack Kev if you don't have a better option lined up. I totally understand and agree, the question marks about Kev being the right guy going forward are valid and massive, but don't pull the trigger because you've...
