News 2016 Coaching Panel Announced

[JustaBattler]

On behalf of current and previous coaches, board members, club members and fans. Despite our rivalry and whatnot, from the bottom of hearts, we thank you.

Well he did his job at EssenDONE- he saw JTurd out.

You are welcome.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

You're welcome.

Looking forward to hearing your club announce their new Senior Pharmacist.

Now kindly take your amateur hour trash talk to the banter thread.

I meant that seriously.. wasnt trash talk.. great at what he did, but pissed off everyone around him..

Yeah gotta be jealous of your new acquisitions .
Worsfold and McKenna would form a formidable partnership with the "legendary" Dr Reid ...

Maybe Craig was like Bomber Thompson "I walked into Essendon (and thought), we're not a very good club". and then told everyone.

Trigg confirmed he had initially personally interviewed Craig for the job but then referred him to Bolton, who considered the appointment for several weeks and through several interviews before agreeing to the appointment.

Trigg recommended and Bolton made his own decision

Neil Craig I don't know about that

Did you rate barker before he took over?

 

[Royal Flush]

That's an elite panel if I ever saw one

Here's what I got from looking at the other teams boards on Bigfooty:
Tim Clarke: Richmond fans are celebrating that he's gone.
Neil Craig: Essendon fans are celebrating that he's gone.
Dale Amos: Was sacked by Geelong.
Shane Watson: contract was possibly not renewed. They're not exactly upset.

that's the spirit, let's call it a bust already

 

[Bell Ringer]

Get Mick Stinear for the Bullants HC position.

Merely sharing what people are saying on Bigfooty. Richmond and Essendon supporters didn't appear to be the brightest bunch FYI.

well they would say that

are you happy with the Bolton appointment? I am. And if that's the panel he wants then I have faith it is a good one, until proven otherwise.

 

[therubbernub]

Bolton - good appointment
Barker - thought it might be better for him to go elsewhere but wanted to stay so kudos to him,
Craig - not sure about this one, will watch closely
Clarke - don't know much about the guy as a coach, hope he does well
Watson - don't know much about the guy as a coach, hope he does well
Amos - don't know much about the guy as a coach, hope he does well
Capuano - was fully expecting him to be shown the door actually

your assessments are very insightful!

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Good to see the Age are on the ball.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Nothing like reading that we are picking at scraps for a wake me up.

I'll give them some time to see if they can produce

Of course those boards are going to have this reaction....
Shane Watson in particular, is a fantastic appointment.

That pretty well sums up BigFooty for you. If they'd stayed they would all be amazing coaches destined for greatness.

 

[Love the Drake]

New coach. New coaching panel. Aggressive trading. Big broom. Just what is needed.

Would love us to go whole hog and have our own reserves team in VFL B

Pretty much. Although the Tim Clarke whinging was going on for most of the season.

Very happy with Bolton. As for the coaching panel, I'm sure it was the best we could get. We're not exactly a destination club after all.

 

[Sin City]

So was the Barker whinging. Just proved the people doing it had no idea what an assistant coach does or how good they are at their job.

 

[therubbernub]

Very familiar with Amos. Was always highly rated down here in the Geelong leagues. His work at South Barwon was outstanding. Thus Geelong picked him up from the local GFL and brought him up to the big leagues.

Is very good at working with younger players.

Good signing.

good to hear some local knowledge that is very positive . I have no problems with ex coaches of VFL sides, they are often very competent and underrated. VV for AFL players

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Not the best we can get in terms of names but maybe in terms of fit.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I'm gonna give them a chance before I roll my eyes at these appointments.

Its fair to say that we are all guilty of making snap assessments based on the quick snapshots that we are allowed by our glorious media. With sensationalism rife and in-depth reporting being discarded by the hacks that we are forced to listen to, is it any wonder that we sometimes can get a very wrong impression about what is really going on. Even if the reporter does a nice job, their hard work can end up being edited for sensationalism sake. There is no grey in media, just black or white
