please PM me. If you don't live in the Perth metro area show can be streamed see Sportfm.com.au for the link. Also a podcast of each show is available
on the...
Ok so 7 - out 3 retirements, 3 delist and one trade. We bring in 4 via trade period and have promoted up from rookie list Duman and Bannfield so that leaves one vacancy with all players on main list contracted for 2019 and we have a max of five picks in Nat Draft so where do the other...
So true its about the culture of expectation of success and then planning accordingly and having the right personnel in place to achieve the goal. The mob up the road seem to have it. I not confident that our board and CEO etc expect success each yr or is it a case of "hoping" for success.
well it was the lesser lights in Vardy who wouldn't have played if NickNat was fit and Sheed if Gaf was not rubbed out. Both these fellas played well above themselves- ie Opportunity is marvellous thing.
Abbasolutely. I dislike the Egirls with a passion but will concede they are a very professional outfit who expect to be in finals EVERY YEAR and from there launch for a tilt at a flag. Its to do with the culture and expectation from the board down the supporters. 32 yrs , 7GFs for 4 Flags...
Being GM of footy ops I hope Belly has a huge say in makeup of assistants in 2020 as all 2019 assistants are out of contract yrs end. Maybe he can start if Roger H is off to coach Gosnells then he can orchestrate a move of prior or Rock to Development and bring in a newbie with some fresh ideas
I think Lyon wanted to play North but just couldn’t get any continuity due to injury. He’s an inside mid and having a second pre season hopefully one without injury will allow him to take his opportunity and there are plenty opps for midfield places with Neale most likely gorn and Mundy likely...
He needs to re invent Sony as a forward to complement Tabs. we can have the Egirls forwardline if the connection between mids and FL is disjunctional due to poor skills and decision making then we will continue to struggle this is Lyon’s huge task during pre season. We will score more if this...
Stevie's days in midfield are gorn. Shown how valueable he is at Half back with Rryan & Wilson three elite kicks for rebound. Brad and Ed are on wings
Blakely needs to be in midfield now that Duman has stepped up in Back 6. Blakely, Neale, Fyfe, Cera & Brayshaw in Midfield but need Banfield to...
Surely Jye Bolton 26yrs(sandover 2016&2018) and Mitch Grigg 25yrs( Magarey Medal 2017 &2018) are worth a look at for a rookie spot for 2019. Both are ball magnet midfielders and ready to go. I rather we went with one of these fellas than chase an injury prone Conca who is no improvement on what...
Most of the assistants that Hardwick & Buckley have are head coach aspirants and are involved in Level 4 coaching program. Have had positions at a number of clubs to broaden their experience. Our assistants are average at best.
I look to our assistants and ask " could anyone of these be considered as head coach material?" answer is No!!!. Then Look at the sides in top 9 at end of H&A season:
Egirls- Sam Mitchell, Jamie Graham
Tigers- Blake Carracella, Adam Kingsley, Bren Rutten(Bombers 2019)
Demons- Jade Rawlings...
Based on Skilful players- Oliver must have the best hands in the AFL and he's only 21yrs old!! we have a coach who values "great effort" above skill therein lies the problem.
Agree with you on Chris Bond a very ordinary performer as a Footy Operations Manager. Lloyd hasn't had too may success stories with 1st Rd picks until 2017 but his success rate with lower picks, mature agers and rookie picks is much better. Kochie said Good Organizations win Premierships...
Positives:
1. we have now a Premiership winning backline in Alex P, Hamling, Ryan, Wilson, Stevie H(if they can sort out his quad issues), & Duman/Logue
2. Langdon and Blakely are nearly A graders need to take the next step.Tucker could be but needs to be more consistent.
3. Darcy needs to...
In yesterdays TheWest and interview with Clarkson stated that the aim for the Hawks after RD 17 was to make the top eight and exposure the youngsters in the side to finals footy.The Hawks have done much better than just scrape into the top 8.
Our President's interview concluded with him saying...
Why keep poorly skilled players like Sutcliffe ,Grey & Sheridan. 3 have retired but we have as mentioned on a previous post promoted two(duman & Banfield) so having to take a min of 3 from draft means need to cut at least another 2. BTW sutclifee, Sheridan & grey are out of contract. Nyhuis has...
The key is the WA Fiance. If she is close to her family especially her mum then Lachie isn't going anywhere. Mums & daughters!! I think one of the reasons Pav stayed was his fiance then wife was local. Then again the club bean counters would look at pick 4 and knowing they can trade pick 5 for...
Just a reminder that we are on for our first show this sunday April 8th at 8am. Will have a replay of Interview done today(april 6th) with Adam East(development Coach) discussing(very insightful) the 1st and 2nd yr players. he covered the all players except Andy Brayshaw - the phone connection...
