Will Andy Collins continue at West Adelaide?

There's another one who just gets his kicks from belittling other posters and taking cheap shots at them for voicing their opinion without ever giving one himself. He feels threatened by anyone who displays knowledge of the game.

Do yourself a favour, stay away from that "forum", it's on its last legs anyway. Nobody of stature in the SANFL gives it any credence whatsoever. It's just a watering hole for trolls to prove how little they know about the game, and testimony to how ignorant people can be if they really make the effort.

Interesting that the relevant thread on another site has now been deleted.

Feel free to delete this one, until something more official comes out, perhaps?

That report is correct. A meeting of players and staff was called for last Friday night, to prepare for next season.

Some people jumped to conclusions and reported those conclusions as fact on another site.

Andy has the total support of the club after getting us to a Grand Final and having all sides in the Finals. It will come down, as Kym Russell says, to whether Andy wants to continue coaching after 5 years.

I want Collins to stay. He has done a great job to get all sides into the Finals this yr. the club needs stability.
Collo has been crticised for his game plan thats for sure. However the club badly needs to recruit a key forwrad
as they haven't had one since 2003 with Bradshaw and before that Adam Richardson.
If they can find a key Forwrad it will help players such as Webb.

The site may not have had much choice on a number of levels.

We should know by the end of the week if Collins is staying on.

I notice that the perennial lemon-eaters have Andrew Collins leaving and players jumping ship due to his (successful) game style.

I'm hoping the club makes an announcement soon, but my observations are that the players want him to stay and back him totally.

They also say our 7th to 2nd is only due to our list and no credit goes to his coaching.

I thought that at best the West Adelaide list was middle of the road in comparison to other clubs and to get that list to the Grand Final was a very good coaching effort.

I find that many of these comments takes away from just how good a team Norwood were this year against all sides and just shows disrespect to that club or is not playing in the grand final still hurting.

As I have stated before I believe its important for Collo to stay especially when you have taken a side from 7th to 2nd

I hope the club announces he is staying soon. its good to hear that the players want him to stay ( i refer R&B's post)

I can't take credit for this one which appears in another "place".

"Why is Collo taking so long with his decision, Has he be seconded by Noah, whilst he takes a holiday break"

Cheers,

Welcome, Go Legs

They don't have much imagination at all in the other 'place'.

I see Collo more as Moses, taking us to the Promised Land

newsflash....we're still looking for it as well

Actually Moses people have found "their" land and tend to beat the crap out of anyone who interferes with them

Yep, Moses can lead you to the promised land but when Moses parted the waters for the Isralites to move through to the promised land, it can be understood through fluid dynamics. The wind moves the water in a way that's in accordance with physical laws, creating a safe passage with water on two sides and then abruptly allowing the water to rush back in. Moses was lucky that a stiff southerly sprung up at the right time.
In other words... kick with the wind when winning the toss.

I guess they didn't have Vac swim classes back then.

Strange, I always though Moses passed water live and learn hey

Didn't Moses play Fullback for Jerusalem? Just what you need, another backman.

Bassett then caused a strong Easterly to sweep down from The Parade to smite the GF.

(And GF doesn't mean Great Flood !)

I used to call Graham Cornes "Moses" because every time he opens his mouth, the bull rushes.

And that, gentlemen, is all I have to say on this matter
