Resource AFC Coaches Manual

[FR0GGY]

A new coach should have no problems with this almanac

 

[latinoheat]

DONT TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT (aka throw out the plan B playbook)

Like throw Trent Ormond Allen in Ruck, Shane Ellen to full forward or call someone’s performance pathetic.

HARD FOOTBALL DVD - a well played icon at west lakes.
Sit the boys down for an hour of learning before each game.

 

[Stephen2]

NON NEGOTIABLES
- Keeping your opponent boundary side

FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK
- Someone who can't play football, so we drafted them

SUPPORTER CRITICISM
The best way to respond to supporter criticism is to let them know if they don’t like what we are doing, they can find another team to support.

also known as AGITATORS

 

[maxlilly]

SOLID
A senior player who has not performed well for a number of weeks

 

[maxlilly]

1 WEEK INJURY
A player you wont see for the rest of the year

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

PLAYER RATINGS
You can overlook poor match day performances if the player displays elite work ethic on the training track

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

DEEP F50 MARKING TARGETS
Try to isolate your smallest forward against a couple of much taller opponents at the top of the goal square. It will be the move the opposition least expects.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

BALL MOVEMENT
Handball chains should always finish with the ruckman

 

[Scorpus]

AFL FORM PLAYERS HAVE SHOWN IN PREVIOUS YEARS - Ignore this in favor of training form and pre-season matches under zero pressure

 

[FR0GGY]

SHORTS and GUM - Standard coaches kit to be worn all year round

 

[baldandbroke]

ONE OF THE LEAGUE LEADERS - to be decided from statistics ONLY and should be heavily weighted towards irrelevant stats that do not actually help you be a better team.

 

[Danger Zone]

LEADERSHIP GROUP - this seasons Gold Pass holders, by combining the whole group we will have at least one full leader

 

[bigman]

non - statistical role - could not get a kick in a street fight and we could not think of anywhere else on the field to put him but at least it justifies our selection

 

[Klug]

OUR BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH, WE JUST HAVE TO DO IT FOR LONGER
A confusing and contradictory statement.

 

[Klug]

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER
This is a cryptic beauty.

I like how you all assume this manual doesn't already exist or at the least Roo gives the new coach a PowerPoint presentation which includes all the above with real life AFC examples.
