Josh Carr's Ruthless Port Adelaide

[jakey]

Lade is a well-respected football tactician, he would be an ideal fit for the role Reeves was going to do before the reshuffle. But I doubt he would move out of his current coaching role to take that on. I've read he's senior assistant at the Bulldogs and Luke Beveridge is always under scrutiny.

He pissed off David King last year so there's that.

He's had that highly regarded assistant rep for quite a few years now. You'd reckon his next step would be HC somewhere.

We seem to be pulling a team together of people with good football pedigrees.

Hard to explain it rationally but it feels very different from the past several years. Like we've gone and found people who excel in particular areas, not just found someone willing to do a job.

Looking forward to the next season to see how this plays out.

It's nice to see us hiring people who weren't exclusively players who played under the existing regime.

It certainly felt like Hinkley's coaches box was filled with yes men, with stronger personalities or people with good pedigrees generally quitting or moved on pretty quickly.

I really like seeing us promoting that we are hiring development and skills staff, like a proper professional football club.

The way the announcements are put out feel a lot more professional as well. Tone of voice seems to have been given a bit of an overhaul.

I've also noticed there is a new design style that's been implemented recently for our social posts, which is good. It does feel a bit reactionary to what the Crows have been doing with their new brand design. One might say it's slightly derivative.

I shall call Sean, 'Clarence' in honour of Clarence Clemons, The Big Man.

Clarence has joined the band
Let's hope he was born to run.

Big dog seems like a complete imbecile or is that the whole point of his page to be so stupid it’s funny??

Every time I hear that word "imbecile" I am reminded of how one loon famously called out an imbecile all those years ago. Robbo's finest moment; Stephen Rowe's normal low standard.

Big dog is Rowe confirmed

Comes with the territory. Most of the other top footy journalists are imbeciles as well

Thank you Boyd.

This Bigdog seems to be a miserable human being.

I know it is the preseason but I wouldn't mind a bit of an update about things.

I can wait but I'm a bit impatient. I have this thing called excitement for the upcoming season and just want the coach to say a few words.

Imagine if he came out and said "we just need to work harder for longer"

I'm pretty sure the coaches return to work next week so hopefully we hear something then.

Cool. Makes sense. I'm sure he's working his butt off behind the scenes.

Thats entered the footy lexicon and he shouldn't be judged for it.

Can we dispel the logic of bad player = bad coach?

Half the board base their opinions on coaching appointments on their respective playing career.

The current back to back premiership coach never played afl.

Update on what? Nothing has happened yet. Reckon Carr might be a more actions speak louder than words type.

Update, players are beating their previous benchmarks whilst preseason hasn't started.

Then the masses wil be saying "ohh best preseason ever again"

The majority of AFL coaches had a pretty good playing career.
You can also get an example like Fagan who never played AFL.
You also get someone like Clarkson who’s been successful at both but can’t do nothing with North.
At the end of the day if you haven’t got the list it won’t win anything no matter who’s coaching.
Average teams on paper can win flags if everything goes right for them during the season and they have a distinct advantage of being a Vic side like Collingwood.
If Collingwood played out of Adelaide with our draw last year they wouldn’t win Jack.
