Operation Cameron Ling : assistant coach

[Allefgib]

Those 1.6 bullet passes = potentially 1.6ggp = 32 goals per year. I'd take that in a heartbeat.

Playing a shutdown role has impacted his numbers. But I'd take one of his bullet pass I50s over 5 long bombed I30s to a double teamed Betts that we are currently doing.

Quality not quantity.

Quality clearly important and an issue for us.
Not sure we are missing kegs that much just yet.
More genuine ballwinners around the contest seems to bring working better fir us imo.

I don't believe kegs make us a 1.6gpg better team.

 

[mattymac]

Hasn't he been linked to NM for ages? Doing work experience with them etc?

There are a couple of specifics we need in our coaching list.

My wants go along these lines;

1. A senior assistant who has tactical house, but more importantly is a real player person. Sando simply doesn't speak to his players anywhere near enough. This can be overcome somewhat by getting the right person in that Snr assistant role. The players really need someone on the top level of our coaching that takes an active interest in them as people, not just the two hours on a Saturday.
2. A forward coach who actually has both experience in the forward lines as well as a plan. We really should be working on blocks to get Walker on the lead. If anyone mentions Wayne Carey as a target I will personally arrange for a bomb to be placed under your car. Channel 7 may have forgotten, but Carey is a dog of a person and the LAST person I would want around a football club. You don't glass your girlfriend if you are a good bloke.
3. A ruck coach who was actually a good ruck man. Cox for mine.
4. A smart midfield coach. Here I want an experienced assistant coach who can take the talent we have (Danger, Sloane, B Crouch, B Smith in particular) and make them elite.

Not much to ask really.

BT ???

Brian Taylor -Collingwood game- disgraceful.

1. 
   I never know where to go with this. One group think he's too much of a mate to the players and thinks with his heart rather than his head when it comes to selection, and another think he's not close enough to the playing group.

 

[Tarasque36]

Agreed.
We need to poach some ready made, experienced talent. And from outside SA. Worsfold, Voss, Ratten, etc.
The problem is gonna be two things -

Like a said earlier, getting experienced non-SA talent to come here.
Having a Board that is willing to accept people that will speak their mind.

My 2c worth. Most importance should be placed for a Bailey replacement. I'd love to see M Harvey. Did well at Freo. Oversee/help Sando.

After hearing Ling's recent comments I don't think I'm too interested.

Which ones?

 

[FR0GGY]

Which ones?

The one where he said he's cheating with your mrs

 

[Mattrox]

The one where he said he's cheating with your mrs

"What else did you expect him to say?"

 

[AFC3000]

Which ones?

The ones where he was saying he still wasn't sure if he wants to coach. Doesn't know what's involved and if he would enjoy it, especially if there was a lot of watching videos and meetings, just wants to work with players etc. I think he said something along the lines of he has no real passion or desire to coach.

Then my point was Sanderson is a first time senior coach. Most of our coaches are first time in their role. We don't have the right balance to bring more untried coaches in and have them learn on the job, we can't afford for it to fail.

 

[Wood_Duck]

Woosha would be my top pick followed by Ratten

I heard the other day he is wanted at Carlton to take over from Malthouse, as early as 2015.

 

[Slippery Pete]

I should've known when she kept raving on about upside down sauce spraying.

Wow.... Would not surprise

Should change thread title to read "Operation Dean Cox: Ruck Coach"

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Agreed.

Priority #1 - experienced replacement for Bailey of the ilk of Mark Harvey.

Priority #2 - forward coach who was a forward & understands strategy along with linking with midfield.

Both coaches to come from non afc backgrounds.

Move on either bickley or campo.
