Only there as a consultant, not actually the "goal kicking coach"

Please just no lessons from him about taking set shots after the siren.

But hopefully it's Ok to instruct players how to kick a goal (and win the match) while lying down in the goal square.

You never know when you are going to need a skill like that.

I think a consultant is fine, don’t really need someone full time. Just a specialist and Johnno was pretty damn reliable and a very smooth, replicat-able action

Yeah realistically this only requires someone to be present for an hour or two week to work with specific players at training, as well as being a sounding board throughout the rest of the week.

What’s the difference between consulting and coaching?

 

[Sparkles Buttercup]

The difference between consultant and coach is that if he is a coach, he will perceived to be an employee and will therefore inevitably be accused of having a conflict of interest which limits his role in the media (which is his main job).

As a consultant, the perception will be different in that he is just there to help out certain players with their goal kicking and not part of the normal coaching structure. No different to what Matthew Lloyd and others have done. All about perception to protect his main job.

I like to think we’re also getting around the soft cap

About $100/hr

Also a coach will tell you what is wrong with your goal kicking and work with you on how to improve it.
A consultant will confirm that you have something wrong with your goal kicking and that you need to improve it. How to improve it will be addressed in a new additional contract.

From this definition it certainly appears that the latter is superfluous to requirements.

We've got a lot of underpaid consultants on BF then.

Replicable.

 

[doggies ftw]

Replicable.

I was wondering why autocorrect couldn’t save my ass tbh

 

[Northernsoul74]

Seriously goal kicking does not need a full time coach, We need help but it’s not a 35 hour week role.

Didn't know Johnno had a bit to do with Geelong a few years ago.

Didn't know Johnno had a bit to do with Geelong a few years ago.

It was for one month over summer 2016/2017:

Johnson joins Cats

Western Bulldogs champion Brad Johnson will work with Geelong's forwards in a specialist coaching role

[BallaratBulldog]

Thats good that he has seen a different club inner workings, even if it was short.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Given that Johnno doesn't have any notable biomechanical or psychological background, it appears to me it's for the fans as much as it is for the players.

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

great having a huge Bulldogs ‘name’ like Johnno back in the fold. He sees the game so clearly and understands the latest trends with tactics etc… Easily in the top 2 or 3 expert commentators on Fox…

 

[maddog37]

He does know a little about goal kicking. Number 48 on the all time list.

So does Brendan Fevola, doesn't mean he should be anywhere near a high-performance environment

You’d get those people to supplement or test the coach’s ideas but I’d still prefer the person that had about 1,000 shots at goal in 350 games at AFL level as the actual coach.

Seriously goal kicking does not need a full time coach, We need help but it’s not a 35 hour week role.

For some of our players it should be a full-time focus

 

[Libbaaaa]

Johnno’s main role is to help Bevo find his smile again (#Shawnmichaels).
