Its official, Carey is a good mentor?

Jon Ralph has had his two cents.

Somehow I have a feeling the club disagrees.

 

[Greater Gattsby]

Perhaps. But he seems to be going in a different direction.

Carey, love him or hate him, has the rest of his career in footy firmly fixed in the media.

Possibly suits himself, and the club.

Ralphy obviously sources his material from Bigfooty.

Yeah was thinking similar, even used the word 'pundits' no one uses that anymore. Come clean Ralphy.

My favourite bit was the part where he referenced Watson as a flanker, implying it affects his ability to be a forward coach. **** me. This footy coaching caper sounds so simple.

Would think Carey has more to offer a KP than Watson TBH when it comes to positioning.
John Law was our ruck coach years ago.....



My favourite part was this,
Just a day after his exquisite six-goal haul last year Carey said Daw would never get to 50 games and this year he devoted a large slab of a newspaper article to point out Daw’s weaknesses.
“We all know that Daw is a work in progress, but how long should you persist with a guy who is returning poor numbers?’’ Carey asked.


I don't believe I've ever heard a commentator announce player 'x' won't make it.

Carey is a mercenary in coaching terms.

he consults.

he doesn't coach.

A mentor is someone who is as invested in the mentee's progression as the mentee is at getting better.

Carey is not that person. I get the feeling that it comes to the $$$

Actually, what was referred to is 'coaching'. It's about asking questions that helps the person being coached realise what they already know, and to also help them 'learn to learn'. A mentor passes on advice. Regardless, I agree that Carey isn't invested (in anyone/anything else other than himself). Twas always thus, and always thus will be.

Carey just said that Ralph is off his ****ing tree. Not in as many words though.

Basically just said that he won't approach NMFC because it's a business, not looking to step on toes etc, but if anyone called him he would do it.

Also rubbished the part about Scott & him having a falling out. Said that he hardly knows Brad Scott, never ever exchanged bad words.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I can believe that.

 

[Missing The 90s]

Its official, but then you question it?

I read it like Ron Burgundy myself

Carey & Brad just had a chat on Triple M. Brad couldn't believe what Ralph had written.

Go on...

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Just laughed off the assertion that Brad & Wayne don't get along/have had issues.

 

[Wild Bill]

Heard him make a good point. Why are people like Bassett a forward coach? He never played their and has destroyed Carlisle when he plays forward. They have the most dysfunctional forward line in the comp and a bloke with no idea trying to fix it.

No wonder essendon players are going out side the club.
