Polec a pussy whipped, money hungry club whore screwing up what’s left of our culture !! I’d say WIN

Just had a "Start the car!" moment listening to 6PR - a caller saying "Now that Jarrod Schofield is going to Port Adelaide, I reckon West Coast should fill the Sam Mitchell vacancy with Michael Voss - I reckon he'd be brilliant!"

 

[Us against the rest]

Strange that Bassett was the forwards coach at the Bombers in 2014 - 15. I didn't know that, I just assumed he was their defensive coach.

Their forwards defended well.

 

[DSL64]

All coaches should be continually challenging players to be the best they can be but you don't want continual negativity. That's just destructive. John Cahill was the master of building players up to be the best they could be.

Unless your name was Warren Tredrea

 

[raptalia]

We do stuff like that well.

Wingard wins a Brownlow next year at Hawks too!

Please no.

 

[TeeKray]

Surely that’s KT and Co telling Ken?

Nah, the only one of those four examples that was initiated by the club admin rather than the former coach was Malthouse/Buckley and we all know how that turned out.

They are playing in a GF?

Lol, as soon as I hit post I knew that would be the response

Gotta love the Adelaide media. Big praise for the Crows for giving an SANFL coach an opportunity at AFL level. Aren’t our neighbours just the best thing ever.

 

[PowerBaz]

Lol, as soon as I hit post I knew that would be the response

You were big enough to admit it though! - It worked out in the end for them, almost.

 

[GremioPower]

Lol, as soon as I hit post I knew that would be the response

The video review has said you didn't hit post.

Schulz was a very talented - and tough - footballer, but by all reports not an overly bright guy and not suited to coaching.

Often the people with great natural talent and instincts don't make good teachers/coaches as they've never had to think and struggle their way to where they got. Hence why so many coaches are defenders who lacked the brilliance to play up forward or in the mids.

Ooh. Ouch. Hope Rance is reading this.

Schulz not suited to coaching and had his modeling career ruined by all the hard knocks he took. Hope he invested his player payments wisely

Schulzy is now teaching girls to kickiddy football longery and straightery.

 

[Ishikawa]

Which you only know because of seeing his results as a coach.

You said Schulz wasn't suited to coaching. If someone has dedicated some time outside of the AFL system to teach people one on one, then they must have some sort of inclination towards coaching. It has nothing to do with his worth as a player or his ability to run a business.

I don't really have a dog in this fight as I have basically zero personal insight into what Schulz is like, but there are very different skills involved in being a line coach responsible for your component of the overall system and being an individual mentor passing on your technical expertise.

From what I understand Schulz's current coaching endeavours and previous experience are all centred around the latter.

Listening to Nathan Bassett on 5aa makes me realise why we are in the position we are in. He and Ken and their one ruck philosophy is killing our performances results and ultimately our club. Until they are both gone we will be nothing.

I hope we get a link of his interview

It's not an interview. He is one of the co-presenters today.

Ah thanks I had a listen to the latter part when I realised that was the case. A refreshing change. To think that soon KG will be in that position.

Only in Adelaide. Madness.

 

[FishingRick04]

It is disturbingly crazy KG is back but with a population nearing ancient with minimal population growth it doesn’t surprise he’s still in vogue!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Nathan Bassett said that he didn't know yet what his role would be in the new coaching structure. So there may have been some jumping the gun among media assigning roles.
