But I’m already always in trouble.......with you

I was thinking we should have a "Rumour File" user, which only post rumours on behalf of other members who wish to remain anonymous or avoid all the follow up questions.
They would just post the rumour and maybe a rating of how many times the providing user had been right or wrong previously.

Not a bad idea

Assistant coach material?

Imagine if we changed our coaching structure next year:

Senior : Pyke -> Pyke
Snr Asst: Campo -> Richardson
Mids: Godden -> McVeigh
Def: Mattner -> Mattner
Forward: Leon Byner -> Sumich

Sumich wouldn't come just to coach forwards, but yes, something along those lines is required. There is some very good assistant coach material on offer this year

Add in toe poke from Scarlett
And Fyfe and co missing sitters in 2013 GF....

He could very well have been a 3 time premiership coach

Plus the Hawkins ball hitting the goal post yet called a goal in the 2009 GF.

 

[Sanders]

He was unlucky because his game plan made the match a close, defensive slugfest that required coming back from a four goal first half deficit where his team only kicked 4 goals.

It should never even get to the point where the bounce of a ball can dictate your chances of a flag.

2009 was St Kilda's minor premiership year. Didn't kick a goal in the last quarter of the GF in a low scoring slugfest, and got run over by the more attacking team.

Fremantle 2015. One goal at half time in the grand final. Again made the minor premiership. Lost to the offensive team.

I don't rate what he has done as a coach. His defensive tactics were ineffective on four occasions. That's enough evidence for me.

Yes, I imagine that is enough for you

Nuff said

If goal review exists then there's a fair chance he wins in 2009. And like was mentioned, if the mongrel punt in 2010 bounces on its belly he goes back to back.

 

[DangerSloane]

St Kilda had a star studded team in those GF years. St Nick, Hayes, Goddard, Milne, Gardiner when fit, Montagna,

And we had Riccuitto, Edwards, McLeod, Goodwin etc and plenty of others better than their names through the mid to late 2000s

 

[Betts are off]

You don’t think i’m actually going to post the info ..... my carcass would be torn apart by the BF Dogs

, very true, I suppose that also falls into the “We’ll Duh” category, only on me this time!

Almost every year it gets to the point where the bounce of a ball dictates the chance of a flag.

 

[hey shorty]

We didn't have a forward as good as Reiwoldt or even Kossie though.

 

[DangerSloane]

Youre right but our midfield batted much deeper.
We did have Burton who was a very handy forward. better than JK. Nowhere near NR or SM

We can call it Michaelangelo Kornes

2017 being the exception

Notwithstanding the views on his past performance, it's pretty clear that defensive tactics don't win in the current rules regime. Exhibit A Crows v Collingwood last week.

 

[Thetrader15]

Brad Hardie not a fan

He could be talking about Don Pyke with some of those sorts of comments...or Ken Hinkley

 

[King Elvis]

Just hearing some ripper Crows / Coach stories from inside CARL people .....juicy

Put up or shut up.

 

[DangerSloane]

This is pretty much bs.
I cant think of any other grand finals where the result hinged entirely on a bounce of the ball like that Saints one.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Put up or shut up.

 

[Idontpullout]

Got two average teams to grand finals.

Whereas Adelaide Crows coaches have taken very good teams NOT to grand finals.

That st kilda teams was far from average.
Hayes reiwolt dal Santo Milne. Just to name a few.

Beat me to it gary

I don’t think that’s a sound analogy or example.

We played with all the energy of zombies wading through treacle, it told us little of the underlying merits of the respective systems and structures. The disconnect was so profound as to render any extrapolation beyond “ oh shit” meaningless

 

[Idontpullout]

And we had Riccuitto, Edwards, McLeod, Goodwin etc and plenty of others better than their names through the mid to late 2000s

Unfortuenrly for us. That team was coming up against a west coast team consisting of cousins Judd Kerr cox and embley.

The things I would do to see our 2000s midfield compete today

 

[jenny61_99]

But I’m already always in trouble.......with you

Not always. Often. But not always.
