no love for Daniel O'Keefe? By the way -who is he?
Development coach who was head coach of Geelong Falcons and assistant with the Cats VFL side. Good system to be a part of.

Reminds me of 2 assistant coaches we had at Richmond that were like untouchable and always survivedNext 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.

No idea how Josh Fraser keeps his job.
So...no Camporeale after all?
Campo must be coming after we trade for AMT
I didn’t. But a blumour said he was.Why would he think he was coming?
Lol, check the source
if we dont make finals next year in the VFL fraser has to go imoA little surprised that Josh Fraser goes around again. I guess the club knows more than we do there but the NB looked a rabble at times this year.
Bit disappointed Wallsy wasn't kept around in some capacity, it was fun having him back around the place.
When was the last time our VFL side looked other than a rable under Fraser. He should have fallen on his record, nice guy or not. Averaging one win for every three games is unsatisfactory in anyone's language. Where is the accountability?if we dont make finals next year in the VFL fraser has to go imo
A coach needs to get the best out if his players. Don’t think Josh has, regardless of results. Back in the Pagan era Teague got our ordinary vfl team into two grand finals.Didn't our VFL side field mostly very poor teams? Hopefully that changes and things change following that. Can't blame Fraser for some of those teams we fielded. See how he goes next year and then we'll know better, should hopefully have a stronger side next year.

Sounds like you are just making excuses for Fraser. The greater the development in the vfl team the stronger the competition for senior spots. Too many players in the seniors were protected by a poorly performing vfl team. That’s just my opinionYeah I guess whether he got the best out of them or not is a matter of opinion and I didn't watch them enough to have an opinion there. I just know they had a very ordinary side which was filled with really poor young players, cooked older players, players who's fitness levels were really poor and poorly structured not to mention key NB listed players being out of the side a lot.
VFL coach's role isn't just to get the best out of their players, it's to support the senior team and that means developing players and giving young and raw players a go as well as fielding sides who are very poorly structured. You kind of have to do what the senior team want you to do and be very accomodating to them.
I'm ok with giving Fraser another opportunity and see whether he can get a hopefully stronger side playing better football.

If having a poor group of players at your disposal is not a reasonable excuse then your expectations aren't realistic. No coach is having success with a poor group of players. Northern Blues finished 10th which for the players they had at hand is about right IMO. They should push for finals next season unless there is a heap of injuries or they lose key players. I am making an excuse for Fraser. A logical and reasonable excuse.
