Welcome Darren Glass and Jarrod Cotton

[beartoo]

A well respected captain/All Australian & should be a very good addition to our club.

On a side note the PA board are already flapping all around the place over this appointment.

So they should. He's a marked improvement on Voss, even if in different roles.

 

[SMAOK]

Part time to get him signed and locked away. He'll become full time year after.

Hes in my top 3 of most HATED players in the AFL. MonFREES and Westhoff are the other two. argh! hate em!

The correct spelling is Wantsfrees.

Glass' hit on Wingard was outside the rules but really, being so bitter about one incident is a little pathethic.

 

[Sanders]

Glass looks a quality addition.

Have you met the Pap BF board?

When I logged onto the main page, they have that 'trending likes' table to the right - I saw the 'Welcome Darren Glass and Jarrod Cotton' thread was getting likes, and I thought "Damn, I was hoping that Adelaide might get him as a coach"

Click on Adelaide board - !!! Huzzah!!

With Glass at FB and ROK into the midfield rotations we are looking good.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Really pleased with these appointments. The club certainly seems to be rebuilding the football department properly and not leaving any stones unturned.

 

[Geoffa32]

Fairly solid appointments.

Is amusing to see more posts on the Port Board about this than our own board.

 

[Coopers]

Now we just need to get rid of Clarke and we're looking good.

Campo too, but the players seem to think he's good or something.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Just to clear up Cotton was basically doing the same role in 2014 just part time. He is just full time now.

Is he teaching kicking at all?

Interesting, wonder if we're looking at getting forward/ruck development coaches?

 

[Footypie32]

I get the feeling between Glass, Milburn and Talia we'll be quite confident to draft a young KPD with our first pick and develop them quickly. Great addition.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Pods for the forwards?

 

[Mad Dog]

Glass is a great appointment - especially with a young back line ..... Pity he's not still playing !!!

 

[Mad Dog]

Yeah Kane - I'm hoping Pods hangs around after he retires from a fitness and forward coaching perspective

I think Glass is a good get, and I hope this is just the start of reaping the rewards of Walsh's long involvement in football. I like that instead of a mass clean out of assistant coaches, we appear to be adding additional supports. Always got the feeling that under the previous administration we were trying to cut costs and limit footy department spending eg. deciding not to pay for someone like Burgess. Being the bigger team in a two team state, we should be pushing the spending limits like the big clubs do to maximise our onfield performance.

Anyway, I'm hoping this won't be the last announcement. Would be great if we announced a Tredrea type for Forward Development.

Awwww man..... Darren Glass is one of the nicest blokes in football make no mistake about it. He is from my home town and a few Fathers days ago at Mandurah Keys he spent about 15 minutes after his morning breaky with his family casually chatting to random people and signing autographs with the kids. Seriously he IS one of the nicest guys in footy (know fact) and we love him and respect him in the west. Good get for you guys, he will commit to your club 150% and will be a well rounded voice in your footy department. Good luck Glassy!

 

[Mismatched]

Pods for the forwards?

I think that's quite reasonable.

I like the idea of having a line coach and then a corresponding development coach, who in most cases would be a recently retired player starting off his coaching career. Gives us the opportunity to grab guys we think will make great coaches straight out of their playing career, without having to throw them in the deep end as a line coach straight away. Use it as an apprenticeship kind of role, especially since gameday structures and tactics are becoming increasingly complex and the role's the assistants play in supporting the Senior coach are becoming more important.

 

[Bosley]

We finally get GLASS ... bring back JARS!!!

Lol - Whingegard's face was memorable that night!!

You could actually see it through the torrent of tears pouring down his face? I thought it was a walking waterfall at first.
