Advice for The Coach

[TheCoach16]

In my view, we have appointed the right coach to lead our club through our rebuild and beyond.
He faces a huge task and responsibility, of that there is no doubt.
Now, granted he neither wants nor needs any advice from the likes of me.
BUT, If he asked you to sit down, have a coffee with him and offer him some advice, wisdom or just tips on how he should proceed or what to expect, what pearls of wisdom would you have for him?

 

[LordLucifer]

"Keep culling the list and replacing it with exceptional youth."

 

[BlueMania]

Don't be a one dimensional coach and become predictable

 

[Cutz]

Get our development right.

Change the culture on the field and off.

Go ahead and build a football club. Take no short cutz...

We're patient and right behind you..

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Do what ya gotta do, you know better than any of us chumps.

 

[sosos]

[Dramoth]

[Mr_Plow]

Prepare to be comfortable being uncomfortable, and try to build some leadership density within the playing group.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Please don't allow anybody to influence your decisions or push you around.

This is your team to mould, and if certain people don't wish to buy in, they can leave.

Can't Kick, don't Pick

 

[TheCoach16]

Play every new player we get to the club, both trade and draft players from day one. Persist with all of them and only drop the ones that are seriously bad. If we're going to rebuild, let's give the kids as much experience as we possibly can.

 

[TheCoach16]

Give Simpson a break. Take him away from that backline. Play him wing/HF/on ball, but no more back pocket for a player of his class.

 

[bluebrew]

ban players who will not hurt to get the ball at any cost...

 

[T2B_]

Play Graham

 

[Dramoth]

Don't drop the soap...

 

[sosos]

He did.

Capuano is still there isn't he? Fraser is Northern Blues coach.

 

[AB_Blue]

What type of coffee?

 

[gandaal]

The issue of intellectual property remains an issue, with one prominent Melbourne club seeking clarification from prominent Melbourne lawyer and former board member of AFL club St Kilda, John Gdanski, on whether one of its assistant coaches, armed with intellectual property, could leave. It's understood this assistant has been put on a general employment contract, as opposed to a specific short-term coaching contract.

Get a lawyer son. Get a real good one. Hawthorn want to sue you.
