Maybe a sneaky way to pay him outside the cap, starting to think like Geelong

Correct

 

[VitalDread]

Believe me, it hasn't gone under the radar for me
He had interest from us and Geelong.

Things we love to see <3

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Something that went under the radar is Jackson Kornberg is leaving Gold Coast after winning their VFL flag

He was previously the Sandy Dragon coach

Would be a great get but now that I have mentioned him

He will probs end up at north or something

It was discussed a few pages back - the feeling is he’d be a good get.

It must be about time we beat other clubs to a desirable signing. It’s been the other way round for too long

This is more like it. CV looks good.

 

[doggies ftw]

Hale and Leppa.. lessssgo baby

Geez Leppa would be bloody huge, serious success since he left Brisbane. That’s the sort of move we should be doing everything we can and paying whatever flipping price it takes to get done.

I’ll believe it when I see it though

 

[NBates]

I agree with this except for a bit of joylessness that crept in over the last couple of years. I was actually really pleased to see him smile and make a few jokes last night.

When was this? I must have missed that bit.

Where's this Leppa talk from?

Our AFLW side has started the season 5 zip. Coach Burke has just signed a two-year extension (well done again Granty and Ameet!). This is Burke talking about this team (you decide if this is good leadership):

After their latest loss, Burke slammed his side’s sub-par professional standards.
“We’re not fit enough. I said that to the girls in there, we’re not going to make excuses over that because I think there are probably things outside of injuries, within our control, that would make us fitter,” Burke, who signed a two-year contract extension in 2022 and moved from a part- to full-time role, said.

“Just understanding the level of professionalism required now – skipping an ice bath or not eating properly, that doesn’t cut it anymore ... I’m not going to point fingers at anyone, it’s general across the group. The whole league has raised the level, and we have to accept that and go with it as well.”
He added the group was “too nice on the football field”.

Nothing wrong with that at all for mine. If we aren’t at the level why not call it out

If there are issues, they need to be called out. The playing group needs to understand that criticism is not a personal attack. If you have any substance to you at all, and some tells you you're falling down in an area, you take it on board and do something about it.

Someone mentioned it previous page

I’ll believe it when I see it though

Unless we were blowing Collingwood out of the water financially not sure what incentive he’d have to move. Pretty sure he’s stated he doesn’t have a huge interest in senior coaching again and he’s got a great role with a great team as it is

It's clearly a pipedream but some people are motivated by different challenges. He's now won flags as the senior assistant at the Tigers & Pies and now might move on the next fulfillment piece. One can hope!

Is Hale Hawks current midfield coach?

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Yep agree. Thinks very differently too from the norm.

If he thought more like this Norm, then he'd be a 5 time premiership coach and this entire thread would be a fever dream.

I have all the answers.

 

[Golden_6]

Is Hale Hawks current midfield coach?

2016 - 2021 Fremantle - Forwards & ball movement (previously development)
2022 Hawthorn - Forward
2023 Hawthorn - Midfield

 

[geoffjennings79]

Airport West? Of all the EDFL clubs... why?

They've only just climbed back to Premier div (A grade) after winning B grade flag last year, plus they were one of my more disliked opponents in my EDFL days - at junior and senior level.

 

[geoffjennings79]

He had interest from us and Geelong.

Was discussed earlier this week too, quite a few posts about him.

The issue I have is:
1. The coach making these points public;
2. The coach not taking responsibility for the team's approach to preparation on game day.

Devils advocate:

For all we know he might have already made these points privately several times and is trying to send a rocket

A coach can try to implement whatever preparation strategies they want, players are the ones that need to actually do it

I like what Bourke is saying.
there only so much the fitness program can achieve if players arent looking after themselves away from the club (see Stringer).
Its visually obvious that that isnt happening for a few of our key players.
