No , his job title was regional manager

His region was South Australia, Western Australia and Northern Territory.

That's a pretty big region. Presumably Commonwealth Bank didn't think he was a complete idiot if they had him managing three states.

He's not the messiah. He's a very naughty boy.

No, that was our premiership coach.

Chapman has had more than enough time & now his time is up.

Oh yeah , Brother Malcolm , that's right !!

 

[Houston]

Bloody good thing he resigned then.

Never understood all the people who defended him even after he packed up shop. Was a below standard coach after his initial gameplan got figured out on grand final day.

“Twenty-three cars have been entered in the 2020 Supercars Championship. An additional three racing entitlement contracts (RECs) are available for negotiation and purchase over the coming weeks, and with the already-announced second Team Sydney entry to come, the projected grid size is a minimum of 24 cars,” read a statement from Supercars.

Huh?

Huh?

Lol I wondered where my post went. Guess you found it!

 

[Brenton Davy]

Huh?

I think FR0GGY might have posted this in the wrong forum. At least I hope he/she did...

Why not? We seem to be a car crash recently.

Wasn’t there a quote from him last year to a journalist “watch the car”

 

[hey shorty]

Roo says Nicks didn't want a senior assistant, wants to give the current guys more opportunity.

I don't mind that if it IS what Nicks wants.

Footy manager not far away and the People and Culture leader selected after that.

Given the timing we were always going to be stuck with the same coaching panel. Another year of bloody Ben Hart.

Did Roo say which of his mates was in the running for Footy Ops Manager?

You hit the nail on the head because the sceptic would think that there are no available people qualified for the position (due to the AFL requirement clubs contract their assistant coaches by the end of august) so it becomes a very convenient line for the club to take

Good time to put hart as the defensive coach and move mattner to the midfield...but that leaves godden to run the forwards

Our defense held up well last year under Matter, just Pyke's desire for such slow, stagnant ball movement made us look pretty awful at times. Godden was essentially running what Campo wanted, so he's a bit of a question mark for me on what he can do. Given his wealth of SANFL experience i'd give him another year to see if he can bring it. Hart is again saved by coaching changes around him.

I dare say it's also due to us leaving all this so late. There's no point making changes for changes sake, Nicks probably has a list of guys he wants, but can't get at them until next year, so guys like Godden who seem to be rated internally get another go. Just a gut feel, but I reckon Nicks is gonna make a run at getting Lenny Hayes over next year.

Already pinning things on the new guy

Didn't 'want' a senior assistant... because we've spent all our money on payouts to sacked, long term contracted duds and are too late to get anyone he'd really want anyway so have to hold off for 12 months.

We presented the low shelf options to him and he decided he didn't want any of them.

Spin has survived the review.

How about admit we're going through a major, ongoing off field overhaul and that it will take more than 12 months to put the new team together

 

[jackster83]

We've got until the end of next season to make ourselves an attractive option for coaches, players and staff.

The Campo glass ceiling being removed will help us with the former.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Soooo, if no senior assistant, where’s the money going?

If it’s into development that’s cool, but I’ll be expecting a couple of development coaches on each line thank you very much

 

[ChilliP]

"Nicks doesn't want a senior assistant" just means he didn't want any of the ones available.

If we do that, we make the incumbents feel as though they are seat warmers. People need to feel that they are valued team members to operate at maximum level. If you felt that you had a year and then you were going to be turfed, would you put in maximum effort for that 12 months?

I think people value honesty

None of them have been promoted into the senior role as it is so they wouldn't view things any differently than they do now
