News Phil Walsh - New AFC Coach and Art Critic

[smoovy]

Jenkins doesn't have natural footy smarts. He's athletic with some clever skills but can't do much beyond the ball hitting him front on, or feeling the ball at ground level. He will improve though.

I disagree somewhat, I've seen him with excellent touch around goals using his left boot or kicking a checkside, to me that is footy smarts at least skill wise. He is also not bad at cheating positionally, I have NEVER seen someone be on the end of so many over the top handballs walking into an open goal.

Sounds like my nightclub tactics of yore ...

Thought that was hands above head and then the STOP SHORT?

Without Roo we would still have Sando, long live Roo

I can vouch for 2 players ( info seperately but from direct family members) 1 player first choice and the other struggling to break in - both saying he was a nightmare - had a clique of players he was ' friends' with and if you weren't in that clique then communication was either poor or non existent

There is just way too much smoke for there not to have been a pretty bad fire IMO

It seemed to me part of his problem was his never changed his player management style from an assistant coach looking after a core group of guys and a head coach, where you have to look after an entire team or 40+ guys.

And I'm sure that then makes life a bit difficult for the guys that are in Sando's little clique because I'm sure they'd be wanting everyone to be getting feedback from the coach, not just them.

I always have an issue tho, I don't like to take my shoes off when I go back to the girl's house. Between u and me I've got a ... errrr ... foot odour problem.

I doubt the Nicks story is true unless the club is majorly pissed off at Kochie for announcing our new coach on the Sunrise and all bets are off!

I'm sure i've heard that Nicks is still under contract, so the Crows can't get at him, but Port are fairly certain they'll be losing him eventually as they believe he's head coach material.

Channel 9 news was reporting that Campo could stay on, we are trying to obtain Nicks from PAP. Darren Glass to head up our Leadership Programe.

Rucci keeps saying we're after Scotty Burns as a senior assistant too.

Thommo starts pre-season later as he is one of the older players, so I don't see this happening..

How's he going to head the Leadership Program if he can't even look one of our young leaders in the eyes?

Chad Wingard dislikes this.

A lot of people jumping to conclusions about what sort of coach PW will be. I'm glad Sando got the chop and there are a number of things about Phil that seem promising - not least his rep for tactical know-how - but Sando was a breath of fresh air after Neil, too. This is why coaches stop getting through to players. After a while, you hear them saying the same things over and over, you start to pick holes in their standard responses, see where their blind spots are. I we get sick of hearing that stuff, imagine how the players feel!

I like that everyone's feeling hopeful. I am too. But I'm not quite ready to appoint Phil the messiah.

Don't mind this.

Usually we love the coach at first, slowly fall out of love with them and by the end we're egging their house and ringing 5aa daily.

This time let's start non-committal or even with a few doubts then slowly be won over, growing to love the coach over time.

I'm prepared to egg his house, but there's no way I'm calling 5aa.

Why'd you buy the ice cream in the first place. For the cone ?

My favourite one was Phil Donahue

I'd like to do that. But it will only happen if the team gets results. Certainly a premiership will buy a lot of love for several years. At this stage there certainly is no love from me yet for Phil Walsh. Although he has looked and said a lot of good things I remember just three years ago another applicant for the coaching position being outstanding and clearly ahead of the other applicants. He also looked pretty good. Two years of failure used up all the good will he had.

Looks a bit like Michael J Fox.

How is this even possible? Don't they (players and coach) spend hours upon hours at the club every week during the season? U would think it would be impossible not to have a conversation with everyone at least every month, even if you were doing all you can to avoid them.

I'm with you, however it did happen.
