Past Brad Lloyd

[Blue_Fusion]

Handed over the #7 jumper to Jagga.

Hamill ventured back. Never say never.

Yeah, that's what I said, it's possible...

Funnily enough, as much as think (well, know) Brad Lloyd is a lousy head of football wouldn’t he have more experience in the role than Brett Ratten

With GW being a "football focussed CEO" I think it impacts the skillset we need in this role

Gethelred i stand by these comments.

Lloyd’s recent interview sounded like he could not give a single iota of shit. It sounded like he had 1 eye on the horse races or something, whilst he bumbled his way through some answers. He checked out well before the season started.

As for Cook, absolute radio silence and just sounds like he can’t wait to just hand the reigns over. The July timeline is so he can no doubt sort out his tax and Super before EOFY. Again, as I initially stated - checked out. PS, I think it’s very easy to be an ‘agent of stability’ when there’s good people in place, where’s the leadership if there’s not?

There is no place for ‘this is going to be my last year’ in a high-performance environment. Another example I can think of this year is Ken Hinkley, looks totally disinterested compared to other years.

Cooks on autopen

I think Ratts is done with a role at Carlton... the way we turfed him out, who would blame him.

But, he is a man of strong character, so it's possible.

Said it before, I would like Bartel for this role if possible.

Or, if we can... poach Danny Daly from Brisbane...

Never say never, came in to present the No.7 jumper and gave a decent speech.
Not sure about DOF but surely his coaching insights would make him a good supporting role for Longmire or Simpson.

Experience is worthless if you're not good. We've got experienced people all over the shop. We should try getting some quality instead.

Pretty sure Horse is involved in Sydney’s admin this year.
GM of Footy & Coaching/Strategy Manager combined with a good people’s person to massage the role/conduit at ground level as the underling.

Horse is not doing that. If he leaves Sydney it will be to be head coach.

You have that as gospel do you?

Same circa pay without the frontline stress. He seems quite honest in his statement that his current role is being enjoyed.

 

[BlueBlood15]

Is he still our head of football as of this morning? If so, we cannot move forward as a club. Time to rip the Band-Aid off that should have occurred in 2021. If Mr Stability Cook can’t do it, he needs to step aside and give Wright clear air to operate in.

Cook is looking like another fraud

“We need to keep looking across the board. You can go really hard on the senior coaching role and the senior roles within the club, but there’s a lot of things we need to look at across the board… We’ll keep doing that and keep working towards where we need to get to.

What the **** does that mean? He is saying not to look at senior roles at the club, but there are other things to blame, and they are looking to do just that.

“There’ll be change in different parts, no doubt and there will be parts that we keep grinding away at.

Such as? If ever there was a statement saying we are okay and just need tweaks here or there, this is it.

“I’ve seen a lot of times, we all have, through Clarkson and Hardwick and all these different people along the way that have been through challenging times and things have turned. It happens in footy and we’ll look towards that as well.”

Ah yes, it has worked for some so let's assume it will work for us too and not change anything.

Why talk at all?

The reality of corporate life is that its about 80% lucky and 20% ability. Cook got lucky at Geelong.

He literally speaks like someone who:

1. Has no idea what he’s talking about already
2. Is a poor speaker as is
3. Has been poorly trained in corporate/media speak

Combining the 3 resulting in the worst result possible.

Another messiah complex appointment

Another messiah complex appointment

and possibly another one with Wright.? That of course will be a discussion for a few years time

Big difference is Wright is known for making sweeping changes and has a good track record

What he did at filth was incredible.

Major Coaching and list changes and hit jackpot.

These statements remind me of a recent comedy show I went to on "Corporate w***er speak". They took a 2 word phrase - "We work" and using modern business jargon, they turned it into a whole paragraph of impressive sounding but ultimately meaningless nonsense.

It was gold .... but also incredibly depressing when you realise how true it is.

"How to use lots of words and say absolutely nothing".

Those guys are really funny on social media but my day to day is too close to it to sit through an hour

 

[blue gunslinger]

Things are looking up. Now we need to revamp strength and conditioning, remove some dead wood and recruit a senior assistant to assist Bolton.

Welcome Brad! Never thought I would be supporting a Lloyd. Let's hope you have nothing in common with your brother Matthew. Oh and please bring Cerra.

The types that do it spend more time contriving ways to sound important and productive than actually doing any work too. Very good at deflecting and such

He is protected species because of his brother. Another example of the boys club looking after their own. No other ex player in the media will have a crack at Brad unless they really don’t like Matthew.
