2025 Adelaide Footy League - Division 1

[Down the Hill]

I don't think any Executive or Committee Member of a club is hiding behind a boardroom door at this level. These are the same people who do most of the off-field grunt work every Saturday plus a hell of alot during the week that allows the coaches and players to concentrate on their role. They see first-hand the dynamic between players and coaches, are not invisible to players and supporters, and are hardly making decisions of this nature without a pretty good understanding of the situation.

I personally can't see the merit in removing a coach mid-season unless there has been a significant incident worthy of immediate action but Glenunga and PNU have made their decisions and will move on. One or both of them will still be in Division 1 next season and maybe this period with an interim coach prior to appointing their next coach will turn out to be a positive.

Grima already been given the job at Glenunga next year is my understanding

No idea at PNU

I agree with DTH, I don't think any committee at this level is hiding behind closed doors. It's likely Glenunga and PNU realised they'd either appointed the wrong coach to begin with, or there were issues that required immediate remediation before they compounded. Tough call, it would be a lot easier to put your head in the sand and let things continue down the wrong path until season's end.

@Beefy I'm sure Glenunga would love to have Grima back, but I'm not sure that's what's going to happen. It looks like he's pulled the guernsey on a couple of times this season, though, so obviously still has a lot of affection for the players and the club.

Surely if Grima was a chance he would have been coach from the start of the season?

He gets pretty hyped up so I reckon he decided on a rest
He may be recharged........

Speculation only
