Coach Welcome to Port Adelaide Darren Reeves - Forwards Coach

[Acemanjam]

Are they weights I can hear clanking in the background?

I think thats just the old lady Dorrothy and her mates playing bowls across the way.

Yeah from the AFLW team

Nahhh, that’s where SACA went wrong for to long, no passion, no ruthlessness, look at the successful Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn and those Kevin Sheedy Essendon teams. Plenty of W@*k3*s in amongst that lot. Don’t need 23 Private School, Silver spoon, pompous buggers running around for us.

I agree. Depends on your definition of w***er I guess. We've been lacking in mongrel for a while. Carr brings a decent dollop of that as coach. Just need a bit more on the playing list.

 

[Us against the rest]

I'm also confused about "stoppage coach". Will we have a separate midfield coach? A seperate ruck coach? It is great to get good people in, and Reeves fits that description, but seriously!

-The ruck coach tells Sweet where to hit it
-The stoppage coach tells Butters how to get it
-The midfield coach tells Burgoyne how to get it after that

The handball coach, the dodge to the left coach and the sledging coach come in after that.

And we still don't have a goal kicking coach.

Mitch Georgiades said that Josh Carr was one of the reasons behind his 2025 form and goal kicking.

So I take it that Ken and Chad were responsible for his 42 behinds plus a few that didn’t make register a score as well as a few OOF?

Goddamn it, these bald guys ruining careers with their lack of hair.

Yep we were just going thru' the motions this year but these developments show we're clearing the mechanism.

Sure it's about bloody time but welcome nonetheless. It'll take time to gel of course but it's got me thinking of

re-engaging with the club again. The dark cloud hanging over me n Ports was doing my head in.

Pretty clear Josh had been working a chunk

 

[PowerLil]

Stoked with this appointment. What concerns me is "opposition analysis". Is that even allowed?

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Starting to resemble a proper, serious football club now.

We'll be serious when we kick Sutcliffe, Lobbe, Williams and J. Hinkley to the kerb.

Hopefully he’s cleared the mechanism too.

Speaks well, Im sold.

Mentioned he comes from a different background to the other coaches at the club and it will be good to bounce different ideas of each other.

Also stated that he watched Port train closely during the pre-seasons and has ideas of what he wants to implement in the midfield.

Darren Reeves press conference - 30 September

Darren Reeves speaks to the media at Alberton Oval following his appointment as Assistant Coach.

Couldn't help but smile through that interview. Spoke sincerely, spoke succinctly and had an edge of excitement in his voice. He is a communicator.

 

[Chachi]

His interview was great to listen to. I can see why Carry was keen to get him on board.

 

[rogerjames]

Until we start winning and playing a Port Adelaide brand of football then it will stop and he will become a distant, hilarious memory.

There's been too much suffering for any hilarious memories. It will just be a recurring bad dream for me. I will never forget how I felt with that clown as our head coach.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

His interview was great to listen to. I can see why Carry was keen to get him on board.

Sounds like it was Carry who swung him round.

 

[soafraid]

Stoked with this appointment. What concerns me is "opposition analysis". Is that even allowed?

nah, the coach on game day can't really do much. when you keep getting beaten over and over by the same team employing the same strategy that's just bad luck.

 

[gbear]

We'll be serious when we kick Sutcliffe, Lobbe, Williams and J. Hinkley to the kerb.

Hopefully that will occur in 2026

Does speak well , ,good luck to him seems like he could play the daddy role and leave Carr to concentrate on football

Who's the football manager suggestion at 3:15? Know nothing about him.

[Port2Power]

5:35 talking about Josh and his emphasis on both defence and offensive, and how Josh wants to be challenged and to get better from the coaches he brings in.

According to Reeves- Josh wants to bring back the Old Port Adelaide and to be lived out by everyone including Football and Administration Department.

Music to my ears!!!!

passion and ruthlessness does not have to = w***er, nor does what school you went to mean you are one, it is a personality type and in my view, one that should be avoided at all costs.

Can someone post the actual quote from this?

He didn't say this. He implied it, over several answers he gave.

Edit in AA segment I linked. I haven't listened to the SEN interview.
