If people think sacking the coach before season end is the way forward, then you’re going to get a reality check if it happens.

.. I hate to say trust me.. but trust me, my idea is sound... Buckley is finished. The best thing the club can do is acknowledge that, finish his contract immediately and pay him out... I mean really he should be walking voluntarily if he really was thinking about the clubs best interests.. its way beyond his tenure now and everyone can see that. The club needs fresh air immediately, our win/loss ratio for the rest of the season is actually irrelevant - what's important now is sowing the seeds for future success and that starts with a change. Read my last post as to what we should be actually doing (as I even type this).

Agree...but you dont take such actiion until you have a replacement coach. Over the next few weeks, we need to sound out assistant coaches, and interview those who would be interested in a 2 to 3 year deal. We wont be able to attract anyone otherwis.

Hocking for now, he'll give the squad a breath of fresh air and help bring some comradeship back to them. Find a full time replacement over the rest of the season but as soon as we know whom that is, appoint them.. who cares what other clubs have done in the past i.e waited till next season to get going with a caretaker for the rest of the season - just do the proper process and go....

When we get the right replacement, the way forward is to sack the coach regardless of what day, or month, it is.

4th idea, we bite the bullet, take a financial soft cap hit or whatever it is - because this is an actual crisis... and we rehire 'Whiskers/Buddha/Hocking' to be caretaker coach until the due process is done in finding a new head coach.

You're assuming he would be interested. Would he, do you know?

r u kidding. He'd jump off the shitter without wiping to do the job

Or the litter box, as the case may be

I would take Hocking in a heartbeat...but would he take us??? After we shafted him, and then come cap in hand, begging him to take over until the end of the year?

It's the only thing to do. Wait til year's end and we compete for coaches with a number of other clubs. Let's say Carlton and Gold Coast also sack their coaches.

We then have to compete with two other teams for the best coach.

Interim coaches dont work mate, look at Rhys Shaw and Teague, they had to get old Worsfold in to help out Teague, what a utter humiliation for Teague, Blues fans are gobsmacked, Let Bucks walk at seasons end, as he said he would if we failed, meanwhiile, get some main players back, and play all our kids play as many as we can. THEN, go after Clarkson or Hodge, and offer either of em the bloody earth or maybe even Brad Scott, just get one of em and rebuild the playing list, it can be done, but its going to take time,

You know we are in trouble when Thomas was a starting mid-fielder 10 times in the second half.

You're the one who needs a reality check; explain to me how much worse it can get, on our current trajectory?

Being a blind sycophant does the club no good

Not sure that teague with Worsfeld would be worse than Bux.

Yep. I was sad today for JT. Could not lay a tackle that stuck. When JT is an inside mid, we are just...well what is the expression..scraping the barrel of despair.
