Coach Chris Fagan - where is the scrutiny

[db26]

This will be there 3rd or 4th finals appearance and been top 4 to and home often makes to much excuses.

 

[Jazny]

The Lions have a good list to contend for a flag but have underachieved in the last 3 years.

Where is the pressure on Chris Fagan to deliver them success

List is overrated. Like St Kilda's. Those two coaches are overperforming.

Another Finals exit for Brisbane. They've underachieved under Chris Fagan from 2019-2022. Similar to Port under Hinkley

It honestly drives me insane when people criticise a coach on the basis that they have a winning percentage in finals below 50%. If you’re team is the third or fourth best team in the comp and plays to its level, you would expect to win 1 and lose 2 finals, giving a winning record of 33%. Teams like Brisbane and for years Chris Scott

had finals records like this not because they were bad coaches but because only 1 team gets to win the whole thing - there’s teams that go close but peak at 3-4th best in the comp for a few years, creating a shitty looking finals winning %. Doesn’t mean they can’t coach. They still got closer than most teams and most coaches.

Yes they are the same. Port fans would be just as disappointed if they made it to a Prelim.

How have they underachieved? Did you expect them to win a flag between those years?

 

[My Tilly]

That passage of play where the Brisbane player kicked the ball out on the full and the camera panned over to Fagan clearly whispering the words 'terrible kick' is why he needs to be up in the coaches box. Players sitting on the bench don't need to be hearing that from your own coach.

He always looks worried and nervous. That energy must brush off onto the players.

Missed a bunch with extremely idiotic kicks. Lucky his small mates kicked 8 between and ensured victory.

Good luck to him though. He’s the son of a Daniher bomber and nephew to the great Terry Daniher and it’s a good thing.

He now joins Terry (2x) and Chris as Daniher family premiership players.

Great bump

not on the 2024 finals series.

 

[Freomaniac]

Choked 3 years in a row and now half a dozen teams have gone past them/are heading past them in the next 12 months.

good post

 

[Freomaniac]

Fagan will never be a premiership coach

good prediction

Tell us about the ex-Essendon players he joins to win a flag since the bombers have won a final

We love and appreciate Joe, warts and all - something many Essendon fans never learned to do.

We will sure as hell take those “idiotic kicks” when the other side of that same coin are his “brilliant kicks” saving us at the death in the semi-final. Reality is we do not make the GF without him.

Played 100% TOG in all four finals, forgive him for being out on his feet. Herculean effort. Nothing but heart.
