It is with great regret that the Hawthorn Football Club will now be seeking a new coach.

Moral values help in improving behaviour, instilling respect and enhancing relationships with others. Any coach that is not willing to support this concept is encouraged to join Colby in the departure lounge.

The admin team would like to make it abundantly clear that Colby's comments are not supported, and we feel that he has had more than enough chances to correct his poor attitude toward the site and it's members. A mixture of an unwavering negativity towards the site, on top of constant belittling of other members of the site, in direct contradiction of “Coaching Guidelines" led to Colby’s dismissal.

Banter is fine and part of the enjoyment of the site, but everyone has the right to come to the site and not have their family members used as a means to “win” an argument or being on the receiving end of constant harassment.

The admin team stands unanimous on the issue.

Regards

The Admin Team

That is fucking hilarious. 😂

Been a fun ride with you all, hope you enjoy the time AFFL has left but as I'd told a few along the way my resignation was imminent before the start of the season anyway. Just for the record though anyone who bought into boof/admin's bullshit can bite one, never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Peace y'all 👌

I think this is over due. Colby has been a negative to the game. I think he has been a great coach, but a negative force for a long time.

Great for the site. Only postives to come.

Yeah this is absolute bullshit for many reasons but also a death knell to the site. Losing two of our most active coaches in the off season? Yeah it's never gonna be the same.

If we were going to keep tolerating that bullshit, the site was long gone.

Would much rather the site die from inactivity than to keep letting those episodes slide.

Gotta agree with Stoney here. Colby was an excellent coach, but just continually covering the boards with negative vibes brought the whole site down IMO.

PMs were always good between us, but when Colby doesnt like someone, everyone has to know and they have to hear it on a daily basis.

This was not the ultimate reason for his dismisal, but probably controbuted to a reduction of the amount of unacceptable behaivour we were going to tolerate when he did cross the line (obviously, most of us have said stuff we wished we hadnt in the past, but normallu learn from our mistakes).

FTR, as a father, I found his comments regarding Boof's son disgusting and I don't even know him or have anyone close to me with Autism.

Anyway, that is my personal take on the issue. Hopefully Boof cosiders reapplying and we can find a suitable replacement for Hawthorn soon. If not, no activity is better than negative activity (in what is suppose to be a site for people's enjoyment).

Wow. Colby and boof in the space of 24 hours!

That leaves a fuckin' gigantic chasm in the league.


Such a shame that things got so personal. Both guys brought a lot to the site in different ways.

Welcome back Dono and eaglesfan99. #endofdays

Lol. #tryingtohardtobeColby

Interesting fact #1 - WC is one of only four sides Collingwood hasn't made a trade with since WAG took over.

Interesting fact #2 - More than 50% of WC's trades over the past two years & 4 months have been with one team: Melbourne.

Interesting fact #3 - Since my return: Collingwood 102 trades, West Coast 46 trades


In the words of Colby, jog on sunshine!

Cheers Pin. Wasn't too difficult to get the stats as I had them from doing the trade ladder for Stoney a while back.

Still waiting on a LOI though. Would be cool to make a trade with you. xx
