Coaching Roundabout - Coaching structure for 2015 finalised

[letstayunited]

I am prob in the minority but I dont see how any of them can stick around if the players are found guilty and cop bans.

Even if they didn't have knowledge dank was going outside of the boundaries of the WADA code?

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Even if they didn't have knowledge, even if they were sidelined, it still would have happened on their watch. Anyone holding a position of responsibility over the players or the club as a whole would have to go. Senior coaching and conditioning staff, both doctors, heads of the football departments, CEO, chairman and the rest of the board.

That's Hird, Thompson, Robinson, Dank, Doctors Reid and De Morton, Hamilton, Corcoran, Robson, Evans, Little, and all other current board members bar Madden.

 

[Nifft]

Thompson supposedly didn't pay his fine.

Mark Thompson could lose AFL life membership privileges and hamper his chances of being able to be employed in the AFL again after he appeared to make good on his threat not to pay his $30,000 fine

Well done bomber * the afl.

Should have fought it last year though like Dr Reid.

 

[Beerfish]

Who'd want life membership to the shitheap the AFL has become anyway?

we stop there? Surely the AFL Executive and Commission would need to go too? They ran the entire operation while players in their competition were subject to cruel and dangerous experimentation.

As has been noted, I don't think that's a minority opinion, vast.

Bomber's WGAFness re: his fine speaks volumes. Totally disempowers the AFL, and when the consequence is that his life membership could be taken away and he still doesn't GAF, the reason is obvious...


...or, given his demeanour, he just forgot he had to.

 

[Vdubs]

I think the reality that was borne out by his time at Melbourne is that Neeld was absolutely not cut out for senior coaching. That likely affected his work across the joint- he was in over his head.

In a lesser role, as he had at Collingwood, he had a much better record. He was highly regarded there.

I sincerely doubt the club would have given him such a role if they really thought the sum of his contributions were going to be driving youngsters into the dirt.

Have worked with MN at Eastern, excellent quality football man.
He was on a hiding to nothing joining Melbourne directly AFTER the tanking dramas.
They were not ready for a man with a vision and techniques akin to nothing more than tough love.
Will be a great pick up for your team- would have liked it if he was about to give Chris Scott a hand at Geelong- not to be.

Uglyness comes in many forms.

 

[Beerfish]

Feels weird man.

 

[CourtzMajora]

Yeah, it's ... odd.

 

[baz_machine]

Drawing short straws to who will replace Sir James?

Drawing short straws to who will replace Sir James?

Dat underrated genius of Doc Reid's coaching!

Monday the 10th

Aaah, for some reason I thought it was meant to be on the 4th.

Will save a few valium for that day then ay ay ay.

Actually I will save them for when the decision is handed down.

Just threaten court action and he'll be in the hall of fame in no time.

Announced on the news this morning that Neil Craig is in line for the senior coaching job at the Bulldogs

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Incidentally, 'twas also in the paper yesterday that Thompson was back in talks about a job next year, but didn't fancy the idea of working under Craig.

 

[HurlsMeister18]

If Craig leaves I wonder who we would get as new General football manager. Would have been good if the Dogs had this sorted earlier and we could have made a play for Neil Balme.

Maybe we could poach him off the pies before his first day. We'd all drown in a tsunami of Eddie's tears but it would be worth it.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Bomber for GM?

Could watch that gif for hours
