[Thrillthorpe7]

Was Davis there when they were shit in the pre-Fagan era?

Yes, been there since 2011. Seen the shit times and the good times.

 

[FR0GGY]

So what is happening to burns?

 

[WAG]

Thought maybe that was Jen’s bit of information as to why we have an advantage!

I'm confused. Wasn't the secret herbs associated with Peatling. Is there a connection (apart from the photos)?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The best thing is that he’s been there through their rebuild.

& from a successful rebuild to bring in new ideas.

 

[Cromulant]

So what is happening to burns?

Moved sideways.

 

[FR0GGY]

I'm confused. Wasn't the secret herbs associated with Peatling. Is there a connection (apart from the photos)?

Yes the information was about peatling and why we might have an advantage, I joked that maybe Davis is his uncle.

 

[Coopers]

Look, he's listed at 186cm but I reckon that's more of a 180cm-type with a normal neck

I'm actually kind of wondering why we don't see more of the opposite in the AFL. I can't think of too many "that man has no neck!" kind of guys in the pros.

So, there must be some kind of survival of the fittest thing going on here. The extra vertebrae must provide some kind of sporting advantage.

Leverage maybe.

 

[WAG]

Seems a weird get after the rumours of a Dew or Montgomery.

Feels a bit... Adelaide!

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Honestly, he seems more like a regular assistant coach type

At least he’s from a successful program that has had to build from rock bottom like the Crows are attempting

 

[FR0GGY]

Moved sideways.

Why would you keep someone who you demote?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Seems a weird get after the rumours of a Dew or Montgomery.

Still room for a senior assistant capable of taking over mid season.

 

[Cromulant]

Why would you keep someone who you demote?

It's what we do.

Wrongly of course

 

[Peter Doherty]

So what is happening to burns?

Right now?

He's probably just received a call from Silvers.

If you had a short neck you'd be shorter and therefore less desirable

 

[George CantStandYa]

Wrong post was meant for gk

On SM-G996B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Which ALF club?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Yes, been there since 2011. Seen the shit times and the good times.

That he survived the rebuild and the game of musical chairs is good but I would have felt better about it if he wasn't there prior to Fagan.

 

[George CantStandYa]

'Right hand man' doesn't suggest director of coaching.
Suggests he reports to nicks

Not what Corey Norris tweet says

 

[JennyTalia]

Moved sideways.

I thought we shaved those side Burns.

 

[jenny61_99]

Wonder if Harper had anything to do with him when he was State Director of Coaching for AFL Queensland?

Intriguing appointment.

I still hope we are making a big play for Graham Wright so we can boot Adam Kelly from that head of footy role.

Coaching Director hopefully seems far enough removed from Head of Football.

Still - a 'coach' from a premiership winning team should hopefully improve us. Literally ANYTHING is an upgrade on the rank and file we currently have.

Kelly isn’t going anywhere.

 

[Cromulant]

Wait he is senior assistant or coaching director? If he’s coaching director a bloke who has never coached in his own right is now overseeing our head coach? That makes no sense

Director

Had plenty of experience in the system and no doubt has learned a great deal from Fagan and co.

 

[jenny61_99]

I'm confused. Wasn't the secret herbs associated with Peatling. Is there a connection (apart from the photos)?

No.

 

[WAG]

If you had a short neck you'd be shorter and therefore less desirable

Unless you had an abnormally large fibula and tibia!

 

[Scorpus]

At least he’s from a successful program that has had to build from rock bottom like the Crows are attempting

I'm sure he's a decent coach and does provide valuable premiership experience.

Not sure about a person who has only ever been an assistant coach now sitting above our head coach in the hierarchy.

With that said, Nicks hardly performs like a head coach so someone else telling him what to do is probably a good thing

 

[dogs105]

I'm sure he's a decent coach and does provide valuable premiership experience.

Not sure about a person who has only ever been an assistant coach now sitting above our head coach in the hierarchy

Could it be worse though?

 

[Peter Doherty]

If this doesn't end well the fact he started as Brisbane's runner is going to repeated ad nauseam.
