Coach Adam Simpson Megathread est. 2017 - Staying for 2024, Lyon’s Cryin’

[FKASC]

Sounds here like he had an off-field role at the club in 2020. But has a decent amount of coaching behind him at EF, and sounds like he had some involvement in coaching the state team at one point too.

Cheers, good to know

BigFooty randoms: Vozzo had had a mental breakdown/sacked/poached by Adelaide
Reality: Vozzo promoted

I thought the stress leave was confirmed? Really he's been promoted to a position that's more in his wheel house based on his past experience

And it seems a clear stepping stone to eventually replacing Nisbett. He’s been in the football department side of running the club for best part of a decade so some time in the more admin focussed side of the club will round out his development

 

[FKASC]

Can’t wait for him to replace Nisbett. Reckon it’ll be a nice refresh for the club

He would have needed a deserved break so I'm not sure how that equals a mental breakdown?

Just more of the same, the AFL are like Political organizations. Just replace like with like.

And, reading between the lines, his role has eventually been replaced by 2 people. So the club is recognising that it was probably overly stressful for 1 individual.

Obviously soft-cap considerations, plus extra duties etc (I'm sure it isn't a straight 2-people-replacing-1-job swap) played a part - but clearly the workload in that role was more than one person could deliver (or deliver and stay healthy/motivated/etc).

Sounds like Vozzo's taking a big step back from day-to-day and rewarded as senior counsel, board level gig. Gavin Bell (football manager) was head of development and Ben Sharman (ops manager) was coaching admin manager... go figure.

For a club struggling with Money apparantly according to their WAFL woes they do seem to be employing lots of people.

Re-employing imho. They completely stuffed up last year with cuts and screwed everything from training and support staff to marketing to football ops, and it was very evident.

 

[Chris_6678]

lol people complain we dont splash the cash we have and now we do some are annoyed we are.

Vozzo, Bell and Sharman were all already at the club so these are promotions and not new hires.

Brennan as a development coach is new but doubt he’s on that much

Also Vozzo moving into the executive means his salary won’t count against the soft cap anymore, which was the real issue.

Does Vozzo have a son with a keen eye for young talent?

Yeah wacko Vozzo.

 

[WCErevival]

Injury updates wont be the same without Vozzo

 

[Kwality]

Yeah wacko Vozzo.

Thats an informative contribution.

 

[squashface]

Yeah how will we know who has 'turned a corner' or is 'progressing well'

 

[RookiePick]

Brennan could be really effective in a development role. He strikes me a the type to be enthused for others making progress and improving.

Hopefully he goes well and worst case...he can't be any worse than what we have been doing.

 

[Mulldogg]

Needs more “conservative approach”…

Gavin Bell is interesting is considered by many in the AFL system as one of the best develop managers.
He has knocked back job offers every year from other clubs but hasn't wanted to move interstate
Western Bulldogs and Richmond have tried to poach him in recent years
Losing him from head of development could be a blow for us with so many kids brought into the club again

Hope his replacement can step up

 

[The Passenger]

We were the best team in 2018.

I prefer it when people don't consider us the best in 2018. Just makes them saltier and the flag sweeter.

He might not be head of development any more but that would fall under his Football Manager role. Hopefully he grows further with his new role.
