Prediction Assistant Coaches 2019

Campo must be coming after we trade for AMT

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Josh clearly loves his house and refused to list it. Pretty obvious.

 

[KohPhi]

He was gonna do some international AFLX stuff but the AFL canned that s**t shovel of a sport i think.

Efa.

 

[thylacine60]

Did Josh Fraser seriously get another year?

reckon you'd have to say he has been underperforming.......not like there's been a revolving door of players at the nbs.......

 

[BringBackSimmo]

I forgot Josh finished his career at Gold Coast, how long has he been coaching the NBs anyway? Oh wait just saw it on Wikipedia, since 2016.. so 4 years now, 13th, 9th, 12th, 10th. Not overly inspiring..

 

[Lace_Out]

There were rumours that he was taking a role with the AFL, but nothing official.

Barker was supposed to be heading a coaching academy, overseas I believe, with Ben Dixon and Angelo Lekkas. Of which the AFL were going to pour money into. This after taking a year off with the family.
Not sure what has changed, perhaps the AFL has reneged on the idea.

To be fair, I don't think the Blueants have had close to the resources and personel that Richmond's VFL team or the Box Hill Hawks, in that time..

Not saying Fraser is above criticsm, but I think he Has done play, given all the variables and list management and injuries the NBs have copped in that time.

I will be upfront and admit I don't watch the Blueants/VFL as much as I like, but I sincerely believe JF deserves at least one more season in charge.

Hopefully we get more young kids develop and progress in the VFL next year (that is more important to me than wins in that tier of competition tbh)

Agreed, and there's been parts where they've played good footy and pushed for finals before falling away. Having said that, there have also been concerns about disunity too. Hard to tell what's up.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

The inconsistency at VFL level week to week is the most concerning thing for Fraser. No discernible style being played and mass confusion on field. I actually am lost for words that he has landed another year in the job. Hell, even Barrass agreed with me when I mentioned this earlier in the year.

 

[F_therest]

Little bit underwhelming that Barker and Fraser remained

Also it's hard to judge them from the outside, but Bruce is a relatively inexperienced coach who previously coached midfield and now coaching our forwards...will he be able to get the best out of them? I wouldn't be surprised if Teague has a more hands on approach to this line, seeing it's his former domain.

Stanton also an inexperienced coach upgraded from development coach to midfield & transition.

 

[El Topo]

Can't wait until the club has the resources to bring VFL in house and clean up the assistants. Cain Liddle, do your thing.

One other thing hampering Frasers coaching efforts at least last year was I presume being forced to play Lobbe Phillips and a developing Dekoning in the same side .

With Barker and Fraser continuing, can only assume the available coaching talent is very thin on the ground.
Guess Rome wasn’t built in a day, Liddle will roll out Papley Martin and Betts and all will be forgiven in the short term ...

 

[Jeremias]

Barker staying says it all really, clearly not rated outside.

How on earth have you come to that conclusion?

A bit more depth along with the further development of the players missing out (LOB, Dow, Fisher etc) + Luke Power’s input should give Fraser more tools to show his wares. He’ll have his own love it or list moment with the CFC this year.

He has the highest accreditation possible, has interviewed for senior roles elsewhere (and at Carlton). You'd never see someone stay at the same employer for that long when they've hit a ceiling like that, footy or elsewhere. Just doesn't happen.

No idea how Josh Fraser keeps his job.

Next year will be Barker's 14th in the AFL coaching system.

Regardless of what some may think of him on the outside looking in, you simply do not last that long in the system if he is not rated by those who would know what he brings to the table.

Ironman29 also reporting diminished responsibilities next season.
With his accreditation, if he had somewhere else to go ... he’d go.

As an assistant? Disagree, plenty of hangers-on....

 

[therubbernub]

no love for Daniel O'Keefe? By the way -who is he?

Seems like Longmuir was the only senior assistant sounded out. Odd.

This supporter loves him.
