End of season movements. FA, trades, bullshit etc.

Sportsbet have Thompson at $1.10 to be the next GC coach.

apparently it will be announced by weeks end.

[RustyCage]

Done deal apparently

[RustyCage]

I hear Bomber has an early morning flight to the GC booked.

[MW]

So I expect all and sundry to come out and bag the crap out of the GC board and management for sacking a coach before the end of the contract, and fully expect all former coaches to say they would never coach there because of that...

[valleys07]

Another propped up club using AFL money to pay out a coach

Won't be too dissimilar when Paul Little personally pays out Hirds contract

Completely differant, Little will pay it out of his or the clubs pockets.
The AFL cant find a spare million or so to run a reserves comp but they keep sinking money into their pet projects.

Joke isnt it...

Interesting, yet biased analysis of the situation.

From afar do you think McKenna was doing a good job, was the right man to take the Suns to the next step, had the support of the players etc?

Will this mean Gaz jr will return to the cats?

i agree with the move!

That was one of the worst press conferences i have ever seen.. and he used himself in the third person.

What does this tell you about how Bomber Thompson rates the Adelaide FC as opposed to the Gold Coast? Maybe this is why he didn't want the Crows job because the Suns deal was already in the pipeline. Maybe it's just he was better mates with Sando than Mckenna - who knows!

[Ron Burgundy]

He looked a bit sheepish on AFL 360 the other day when asked by Wheatley about where he would coach.

Has anyone see Jarrod Brennans tweet about McKenna's sacking. Bitter, but perhaps the truth.

Who wouldn't want to take over the GC job??? Best player in the league plus a fantastic young list plus the backing of the AFL.

Comparing apples with oranges there my friend...

[RustyCage]

[Booney]

Poor form from Brennan.

[Frosty]

Pretty sure they're both AFL sides with the same number of players so hardly apples and oranges. Maybe Bomber just wants a warmer climate to help with his arthritis.

Dangerfield polled more Brownlow votes than Ablett (injured? so what - you have to play to win) and GC are obviously a one player team based on the results from the last 8 rounds so maybe Adelaide has the better squad overall.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Crows may have better squad now but will they in 12months?

[mighty_tiger_79]

Sando to the bombers or G.C??

where does he end up

[Booney]

where does he end up

On a pay cut, but with $1m+ in his sky rocket.
