Why does Hamquinn still have a gig?

[robrulz5]

Should have been gone years ago as he is failing at his job, if a coach wasn't winning games he would be sacked. Quinn's job is to keep the players on the field so that the coach has them at their disposal.

I think Lovett-Murray''s injury was a reccuring injury so it may have just been a flare up that needed a week off, hopefully it is nothing chronic.

[Rossoneri]

sacked the coach after three poor years, yet keep the fitness staff after 6 shithouse years. At least the coach gave us 20 good years.

Wonder what Quinns excuse will be this time? He is still growing?

[bpdons]

I don't agree with sacking Quinn based on his ability to look outside the square with Hirdy and get him back up after his foot stress fractures. Something different must be done though i agree with that. I don't know what, me no professional.
What i really find disturbing is it's not even cold yet, we've had nice dry weather for most of the pre-season and recently.
I always thought most soft tissue injuries were due to over-exerting yourself when not completely warmed up properly. Or not cooling-down properly.
Again, me not professional. I think it is time the club really paid some decent cash and commission a thorough analysis of soft-tissue injuries in our sporting conditions.

What about carbon emissions? How are we going with that?

[BenDoolan]

Because he's the Mighty Quinn!

In the list I saw today we have 5 hamstring injuries the rest of the comp has 2 (notwithstanding that I am unsure about all those declared "available" or "test").

This is completely unacceptable - its round f****** 4 for f**** sake.

Quinn must go.

Also, Johns must play.

[danstar84]

Something has to be done. It is beyond a joke, has been for some time. We some some great talent coming through, most of whom never get out on the park because of continual soft tissue injuries. God knows we can't afford to have quality senior players like Lloyd missing!

Can't blame the dome, as the other teams who play there don't have anywhere near the number of injuries we do.

[dheal]

Last season St.Kilda had similar problems with soft tissue injuries & they SACKED the fitness staff, now they seem to be travelling ok. Are our injuries just bad luck or bad management. We have too many hammys etc to be bad luck. Also I believe we knowingly picked Johns (hip), Dempsey & Gumby (dodgy hammys) in the draft hoping we could treat them & get them on the ground. so far it has'nt worked. BTW what does Johns have to do to get a match & what has Slattery done to get back in the side. If we lose a ruckman early we are up shit creek. Please explain to the supporters the thinking behind team selections.

Why?
If we win, will you explain why you would have done things differntly?

Johns isn't playing because a) he is shit and b) he is being groomed as a defender and as such, has been playing down back for Bendigo.

Most teams are up shit creek if they lose a ruckman early. How many teams play with 3 ruckman these days?

As for the selections and dodgey hamstrings of recruits, I havent heard that Gumbleton had dodgey hammy's. And Johns was a rookie selection, wasnt in the actual draft (I think)

Johns has to start playing football that warrants selection. He is struggling at VFL level. He is a dud and should be delisted at the end of the current contract. I know some players that are as tall and fast as Johns, but like him, they are not good enough.

The problem is the TELSTRA DOME.

ok maybe not with the lloyd case(but maybe it is).

but sustained play on a bad surface.....

thats why the saints have had problems as well.....TELSTRA DOME.

put us back the G and we would be fine.....do you see collingwood/hawthorn struggling with injuries?

Do you see Bulldogs and Kangaroos struggling with injuries?

Saints are going ok this year, and guess what? They sacked their fitness guru last year (or year before)

[billyduckworth]

Bring back Peter Power.

and yet Jetta pulls his hamstring during a game at the "G"...and Lloyd does his calf on or after playing at the "G"


get your facts straight before sprouting shite

That statement is made of all sorts of winning.



But sorry filth this thread is not.

[Windy_Hill]

Agree completely, so next time we have a problem with Hirdy's stress fractures, lets get him back on a one off consultancy agreement. Otherwise...

SACK THE USELESS NUMBNUT

Any reason for the baby talk?

Anyway, Quinn is looked upon as a leader in his profession, i think his one of those guys whos reputation proceeds his performance, he really does need to start improving!

[sconsey]

With Lloyd out, this is a challenge that we could've done with at about the midway point of the season. But ohwell, we can't do anything about it. The guys will continue to believe in each other and the game plan that Knights is trying to implement. This game - if we win - may just fast track our season a bit.

If Quinn doesn't get the sack after this season, It'll be the 8th wonder of the world. He is there to keep the players on the park, and at this stage we currently don't have about 10 players to choose. That is pretty unacceptable! Looking through all the AFL injuries we are the only club, that has more than one Hamstring injury. Quinn keeps on stating that it's because our younger players are "growing." What bout the other 15 clubs? I'm sure they have new recruits that are growing, but they manage to keep their hammys intact. Stuart Dew, Henry Playfair, Mathew Bate, Nick Gill, Tom Collier and Malcolm Lynch are the only players in the rest of the league currently sidelined by Hamstring injuries. 6 players in total, we have 5 in total.
