Will Connolly come under scrutiny: Have your say

September 14th 2006 00:07
Following the shock sacking of St Kilda coach Grant Thomas we have all learned that nobody is safe in football.

After taking the club to two preliminary finals in the past three tears the axe fell on Thomas in swift and brutal fashion.

The question this cadet asks is if Fremantle coach Chris Connolly fails to get his team over the line against Melbourne this Friday night at Subiaco Oval will his position as coach come under scrutiny.

Keep this in mind, should the Dockers lose they will have a 0-3 record in finals after winning nine straight this season.

However we all know that finals football is a different kettle of fish to September action and surely questions will be asked as to whether or not Connolly is the man to take the club to the next step.


Thomas lost his post as coach because the board believed he wasn't the man to deliver the club their first flag since 1966, will the same fate befall Connolly.

Have your say.

If Fremantle loose tomorrow night then Connolly will definitely come under scrutiny, mainly because loosing to Melbourne at Subi would be inexcusable. I still wouldn't imagine him being sacked even if they did loose, mainly because Freo have a different mind set to St Kilda. The Saints often sack coaches, often out of the blue, just look at Stan Alves or Malcolm Blight. Freo on the other hand, tend to stick with them like they did with Damien Drum.
You never know, maybe they will sack Connolly and give the job to Mark Harvey, since he is the one who is responsible for their revival, if not they may loose him to the Saints.
Having said that, I really can’t imagine Freo loosing to Melbourne so Connolly should be safe for another 12 months at least.
