Coaching Staff Senior Coach: John Worsfold - Thank you John

[DapperJong]

I do not care about their qualifications but we have stomached a lot of poison over the last 15 years. I do not want any Richmond, Hawthorn, Collingwood or Carlton person leading our club. It just will not sit comfortably with me. Call me old fashioned or stupid...I do not care. 14 other clubs to find someone good.

Petrified of our club signing Brad Scott

Petrified of our club signing Brad Scott

Our club is already a meme, Brad Scott would be perfect. He holds the record for most games coached with out making a grand final, and not once were they a genuine premiership threat during his tenure. He is so much more Essendon than he is North Melbourne. Doodoo my doo, get him in doo, doo, doo.

 

[the PILL]

Genuine question, what does the above mean.

Urban slang, “phoning in” a performance—just going through the motions without making much of an effort. The result is usually pretty dismal: a performance that lacks meaning or merit.

Proxy coaching from WA with a side of repeated cliches...

We've got to get better.
We're not playing the way we want.
We need to work out what we stand for, etc etc etc...

 

[maskmcgee]

I'd rather have Brad Scott

 

[srobbo]

I’d happily take Brad Scott. Granted he had 10 years at norf, but I don’t think he’s had the talent at his disposal that our list offers.

Think he’d place far more an emphasis on our contested game or lack there of & winning the game in the trenches which is completely foreign to our DNA.

 

[The Donners]

He’s also a very keen punter which might scare off AFL clubs and they’re petrified of it. Not saying he has a problem at all, but just the fact he’s into is probably enough these days.

Isn’t this ironic (and personally I believe it is one of the greatest hypocrisies), AFL are sponsored by betting agencies and many AFL clubs have invested in pokie machines.

The AFL can’t have their cake and eat it too. They say they’re there for the wider community but only after they bleed them dry. Let’s not go into promoting alcohol... <riding off on my high horse>

I’m not against it but the last however many flags have had some sort of Clarkson flavour to them so Ratten should be well and truly in the mix! If Clarkson was available and still had the energy then hands down he’s the man to target.

How it feels at present...

Agreed.

Clarko’s a pipe dream, but I’d take Ratten in a heart beat & probably before B Scott too.

 

[Cold Sober]

At present I think we're like one of those planes that fly around in circles expending fuel so as not to explode on landing.

 

[Blind Turn]

I’m coming around to the idea of Ratten. Saints good form might work in our favour as I’m sure he would be the shoe-in if Richo had an awful start to the year. Ratts is still young, has playing and coaching success, and only failed as coach, in my opinion, due to a cancerous culture at the Blues.

I wonder, who was the last recycled to coach to win a side at his second club but not his first? Mick Malthouse?

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

I can't see the club terminating Woosha's contract a year early for financial reasons. The payout would be substantial and we've only started reporting profits in recent years, post saga.

Can't say the same for our fitness/conditioning/medical staff.

If you go to a match centre page on AFL.com.au before a game, you honestly can barely differentiate it from a bookie’s site. Prices and advertising for BetEasy wall to wall.

92 & 94 for Mick at WCE

 

[Kong]

92 & 94 for Mick at WCE

Footscray before that, though.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

Footscray before that, though.

i dont think you read the initial question? he didn't win a premiership at Footscray.

Anyway Malthouse - Footscray to WCE in 92 & 94 then pies in 2010

Blight - North he captain coached i think? Cats (3 losing GF's) to Crows in 97 and 98

Matthews won with Pies in yeah yeah yeah 90, Lions in 2001-03.

 

[Howard Moon]

isn't there a stat the says teams often win the week after a coach is sacked?

I'd take it just to beat Carlton.

A bloke named Leigh Mathews pumped out a three peat a decade after finishing at the pies.

*edit* just saw post above.

Never heard of her

 

[RearNaked]

Play players in their ******* position !!

 

[Daisy..1]

Has clearly lost the players. Needs a stiff broom through the place. Woosha, most of the assistants are first followed by Crow and the fitness team. The board should go at seasons end

Seems like we have been saying this every bloody year for 15 years now.
