Koch rant at players

Re: Koch rant at players

He just believes Barrett is right

Serious?

I think he may have his own sources rather than just listening to a fellow journo. I doubt he'd be going this hard if he didn't actually know something.

We can be critical of Kochie's emotional outburst but at the very least he is setting a high standard that says let us know if you just want to draw a wage and don't want to do the required work to be a success then we will see what we can do to help move you on.

I get the sentiment behind his rant but he should of handled it better.

Koch commenting on selections goes beyond his jurisdiction.
He isn't chairman of selectors or coach .

How goods that if your a player from interstate, you have now been given the opportunity to go home.
If I was another AFL club I would getting into home state players they have and saying he has given you a chance to come home !

I don't actually mind this - we want to win flags, if you're content just playing and not invested to the required level, you may not be long for the club.

We endured a pretty poor season ourselves and we should be disappointed in the results and while I don't condone Kochie's approach the message to players that just rock up to draw a very good wage isn't a bad one

And if you want to do that but not be at a club where your president comes out and criticises you publicly?

It should never had been said in public. I understand he was upset but it was very undisciplined by the chairman. You can't be having a ping at others when you are out of control yourself.

Kochy needs to remember he is a glorified supporter, no more no less. If he got hit by a bus tomorrow Port would still be in the same position it's in now. If anyone needs to take a look at themselves it's him.

I'd just ring Chad Wingard's manager and see if he wants out. It seems North did that after hearing about Jake's review. And now its a thing.

In fact, I believe there's a brewing mega trade that's starting with Wingard to dogs, Stringer to North and Port heaps of picks.

You know my source on a few things I say. This comes from that source.

Good player Wingard but he was quiet the other night. Dunno why I mentioned that.

I compared their stats after I got the text message.

One year draft a part, drafted same range, only 9 months age different, average about the same goals per match, both AA forwards. Stringer doesn't really play taller with the extra few cm's, but Wingard gets more of the footy on average. I can see why he's a target to replace Stringer on the comparisons, but with both contracted North (or Saints) will have to heavily invest to push it through.

That extra year Jake is signed for is worth its weight in cockie poop in this situation.

Re: Koch rant at players

My thoughts.

I actually hate any discussion confirming he is leaving and what trades we would get, until it is confirmed. I am not basing my thoughts on dumb arse Barrett.

I won't be basing my thoughts on outlandish comments by dumb arses on here either.
