Analysis The Coach – Simon Goodwin: "Working incredibly hard" until at least 2026

[Ando727]

the managers still adopt the teams gamestyle and tactics its just they have their coaches instruct that on the training ground rather than the manager having to juggle everything

Its a bit like what Geelong did with Bomber Thompson in 2007 and onwards*

* although that may have also been because of his coke addiction!

Yes, you can't be a football muppet. You have to have a workable plan and some tactical nous, and then get the right people in to make it work.

1 more year guys! We are in countdown mode Actually gives us something interesting for the 21 season

As ******* dumb as it is it really seems to boil down to blokes trying hard. Running to the right spots in defence and then working hard into attack. Pretty simple

Dees should get the bloke who coached me in under 9's. "Try hard and have fun"

just listening to Ross Lyon on FC, if we don't finish top 4 next year (we won't) we'd be absolute derelict in our duty if we didn't pick up the phone.

My under 13 coach mentioned something about needing to be more ruthless.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[KAYNE]

Huge get for us. Getting Yze in is massive

 

[stEdy]

Its a good insurance policy if Goody fails next year we don't have to have Richo as our coach

 

[Crusty Demon]

Huge! Welcome back Oooze!

Haha assistant coaches are funny, if it was Matthew Spanger that we got from the Hawks people would say he's s**t but because he was a good player he's automatically a good assistant

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZE!

Apart from Bolton, Clarkson assistants have a pretty good record.

"Goody and I have got a strong connection"

Looks like he's got the lingo down already. Nice one son.

Great to see we've secured our next Caretaker Coach

He'll pick them up 'incredibly' fast. Our brand also.

 

[dylan93]

Signing Yze to the coaching panel is probably the most I've been excited about a signing in years!!!

They don't even let you through the front door unless you're working incredibly hard on your learnings...

We all love Yze, but surely we are not setting him up to succeed Goodwin. We don’t have the list, culture, personnel or anything else that will allow us to experiment with another Former Assistant Coach. Shaw and Rutten are good examples that it is a roll of the dice and when things are tough everyone says a mentor is needed for these guys. For me, if we are going to seriously challenge in the next 5 years we need a Lyon, Clarkson, Longmire, Scott etc. Yes we had Roos for 3 years, but to really make that work we needed him for at least 5 years if not longer - but that was never going to happen.

100% agree. I can easily see us installing him as a caretaker coach within the next 2 years. Of course then we'll see a rush of form due to new-coach honeymoon syndrome, then we'll be facing that classic dilemma of whether to keep going with the caretaker. It practically never works out, but we are exactly the type of club to fall for it because we're all about the "optics". We should be already courting Lyon. We need an old school type to fix up our culture of going belly up when we're under pressure.

Gary has a good track record of 'fixing things'
