News Welcome to Carlton Brad Ebert - Development Coach

[RPCB]

I know

Maybe Brad Hardie meant Brad Ebert.

I am over it now. Love. Love. Love this appointment.

Hey guys just wondering what his role will be during VFL matches, eg: line coach for the forwards or midfield group?

Clearly the Voss connection played a major role in this appointment

Go well Brad

Thats for the main list. The article said he would also have a role as VFL assistant

Like this appointment for a couple of reasons. First, my recollection of Ebert is a player who gave 100%, and good skills and Team player. Should be good for development. Second, no hint before today. Still running a tight ship. So, professionalism from 2 levels. Tis good...

 

[Mondyboy]

But — and I’m surprised no one has asked — can he still play through the middle?*



* Based on the picture he’s certainly kept fit.

ffs.....

Good to see we're still investing in development and not sitting on our hands between seasons. I'm sure Vossy got a good insight into how he rolls in their time at Port.

Welcome Brad...

Clearly Voss has been impressed with his knowledge in the past to give him the job...

 

[Schulzenfest]

Legend of a bloke who got every bit out of his talent. Feels jarring seeing him in another club's colours, but you wouldn't find a Port fan who doesn't wish him well.

You spelt Joel Selwood wrong.

From what I’ve noted through Ebert’s journey is a well regarded/respected guy with a “team first” mindset as a core.
This would obviously be known and valued by Voss, complimenting the united/committed culture now driving the club.
Working closely with Power and the youth going forward, Ebert can help add to the incremental improvement that would take Carlton to the next “contending” level …

Seems a good appointment, development and tactics are where we go forward in terms of coaching, these are the areas I see with our off field team that are a little weak.

Feel like this guy is a senior coach in the making

 

[Fabab]

Has he been doing this role elsewhere?

The bloke is 32, retired a couple of years ago on the back of injuries. Has filled what I assume was a part time role as a strategic “consultant” with Port since.

I only asked the question as I have no idea when he retired and if he had been doing something with a sanfl club or whatever.
Memory of him was average player,not a good kick,so I wondered why he is employed by us that is all.

Alistair Clarkson couldn’t kick over a jam tin and a thug. The coaches with the best records generally are good players but the best … look at the attributes … tough committed, passionate, leaders.

No need to be defensive matey,I was merely asking about him as people on here are more cluey about who is doing/ done what than myself.
Also wondering how the interview process went or if Vossy just gave him the job with upper management okaying it.

 

[skadoosh]

Don't really get you Fabab. The answers you got above were straight as a bat...

 

[Brackets]

To be honest not a fan of appointing someone without experience in the role. If his attributes align with our vision of the position, that's great, and may be enough to make him a reasonable appointment.

I would expect though there's more experienced and talented people that have the runs on the board in developing young sportsmen.

Looks like a tap on the shoulder rather than casting the net.
