Ken Hinkley 1.17

Damien Hardwick 4.00

Jade Rawlings 6.00

Alan Richardson 9.00

Never know could be day trader mentality money. Generally people with no idea but simply following money that they assume does know what is going on.

Has to be Hinkley then.

Yep they do not go that short unless it is a certainty.

Or are they going on today's media love in with two articles about Hinkley and of course the famous 3/4 time speech?

The beauty is no one knows. You would think if the bookies got wind of this, then surely the media would be all over it.

Got an email just then saying it is done and will be announced as early as Monday. Sounds like crap.

The fact that no one knows anything is brilliant. Even in the Hun there is a story about Leppitsch and they said "
It is believed Leppitsch had an interview with Richmond last month."

It is believed they have no idea and I bet it is hurting them.

Gives hope that this club is starting to turn it all around and this is the beginning.

its funny (actually quite sad) that simple things like this can lead some people who support this club to making them out to be a turning point for our rabble of a club. how is the club keeping a secret gonna be a stat to turn our club around..knowing all the probs it has... :help

Gives hope. I am sorry for hoping that the club is starting to get it right. Maybe I should be hoping that the club remains a basketcase for the rest of it's existence.

Agree.

Don't be sorry, there is reason for renewed optimism. :)

keeping a secret does not give hope. having a clear path such as a youth policy and developing a team, starting to win games, being in the 8, that gives hope.
my point is look at what we cling to and say this gives our club hope of being on track to being successful.........

Someone definately knows something. He was $2.40 this afternoon and into $1.17 now :eek: That has to be a decent amount of money to trim up that much

On the strength of these numbers the coach selection panel might be tempted to put some big bets on and then appoint Richardson.
 
It was rumoured by someone on BF that Hardwick was negative on the Tigers short term prospects, where as Hinkley thinks they can play finals as soon as 2010. Probably *smile*, at least I hope it is.

Sounds like someone was copying the Essendon story when Knights got the job.

Maybe they punters are following the rumors on this thread? :hihi
 
Gotta say I'm warming to Hinkley. I think there's alot going for someone who's been an assistant coach at a very successful club for 6 years. A club that has only had a handful of losses for much of that time. You can do alot worse than use the Geelong model as a template for future success.
