Pretty much mateDo you want to spew?
Cliffs?This interview on Talking footy is just a lot of bollocks
I’d prefer he took credit for ours.He's taking credit for West Coast's premiership.
Do you want to spew?
Really?
What the **** do they think they are doing down there? It's a footy club not a ******* variety show!
The whole joint needs a big **** off broom!
Can you feel it?
It's happening...the world's are aligning..
Woosh gets sacked, efc needs care taker while they go thru a rigorous process to find our next coach.
In steps J Hird to caretake temporarily.. ess win a few games, Hird slips seemlessly back into afl circles with no backlash.. Ess appoint Hird Ole Gunnar style after rigerous process.
Welcome back Jim.
once upon a time there was AFL/VFL.....covered on sunday nights (PM)..by Drew Morphett
this was when Windy Hill....Princess Park....Victoria Park....Waverley..etc
these guys (Lou Richards)...said and told you straight....now days we have pony tails boys who can not even kick the ball...if the can they dont no what to do with it next........
Imagine watching the entire 70s/80s football on LSD
so where do we stand (pardon the pun) on coaches in the box vs on the bench?
again it would seem the forward thinkers have stolen a march on the ones mired in tradition.
im so used to seeing soccer coaches on the sidelines pacing, bellowing instruction that it seems like the only way.
in this day and age, what do you think the actual job of the head coach is on match day? if you were to split it in pie form.. the line coaches obviously take care of most of the match day stuff, of course the head coach has final call, you'd guess.. but id imagine on match day player motivation would/should take a fair chunk of their skill and expertise.
So whats old mate dong up in the box? No runners makes it even more imperative to get the messages across with zero barriers
Sure have eyes up in the box, direct into the coach's headset on the bench, relaying stats and trends as well.. opposition movements...
Should the coach be on the bench motivating, teaching... coaching the troops?
unless.. the players don't want him down there?
even more reason to get a coach down there to give them a rocket.
Positives and minuses on everything. If you're up in the box you get a birds eye view on positioning plus you are able to manage line coaches for best possible solution eg Rutten what do you think we should do, Harvey what do you think. Ok I've listened to both and We're going to do this? (If that makes sense).
If your down on ground and getting clearer communication to players are you getting that variety of creative ideas from line coaches? Or has that been preagreed upon by boys upstairs and your only receiving 1 message. You also can't make a well informed opinion yourself on positioning.
You see our bench all the time?be interesting to see how it all evolves over time
I do notice our bench players just sitting there all slack jawed - the hawks and others have a coach in there ear, wonder how much is help and how much is just annoyance when you need a rest?
You see our bench all the time?
The assistants can say just as much as John could on the bench.
I only saw a snippet on social media that was Darcy saying “are you surprised by the amount of bile and negativity directed at you? I’ve never seen anything like it”
What? You’ve never seen anything like it? Speaking only of Essendon, the other three senior coaches we’ve had in my lifetime have copped more.
Christ Darcy is a muppet.
