Yes I agree, hopefully the whole debate centres around the footy and winning, just very different ideas on how that will be achieved.
I wouldn’t have sacked Madge at that moment, but if that was that and we missed Cicada ( the entitled precious tool who wasted our time), I would have appointed a caretaker and simply chilled to see how the coaching market played out.
And realistically, we would have had a fair chance with at least say any of bottom 4 coaches and Arthur was being shopped around, now Des is in play. Maybe Seibs and other former coaches, maybe the late Paul Green. Not the worst coach on the block and I say that honestly. If he was the best of candidates, I’d have given him a go.
And Tim has to start with mostly Madge’s and Hartos crew, so we can’t expect the earth.
Accepting his appointment, we will find out what he can do. Then a problem if he succeeds as I foreshadowed- as he’s headed off.
That will be a good problem to have!
