Coach Coaching 2022

[Sully111]

Malthouse said about half way through the year that he’d been watching us closely and that he didn’t think our fitness was of AFL standard.

Clearly invested

 

[BrutThough]

So which of these 4 were shown the door and who left for their own reasons?

Judging by Lethlean's comments and the players yesterday, Andrew Wallis has left on his own accord.

The other 3 more likely let go.

 

[bergholt]

I'm not 100%, but I thought it was known months ago that Burgess is heading to the Crows at the end of this season. I heard it somewhere along the line.

Oh that's right, I think his kids are over there so he needs to get to Adelaide somehow.

 

[ScrappyDo]

word has it malthouse as director of coaching.... shhhh

Are you gonna do this for the next 3 months?

 

[puppy_dog7]

Good to see we’re looking at a new head of fitness. We definitely weren’t anywhere near fit enough this year.

 

[sammm]

Be awesome if Harvs comes back as a midfield coach

harves will be in WA as assistant i think.

 

[puppy_dog7]

Can we get Lenny back as our midfield coach?

 

[Sully111]

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

anyway...

word on the street James Hird and Bomber Thompson seen at moorabbin.... shhh

 

[Diehard Saint]

About time we had a St.Kilda person involved in our coaching.

Romantic thought, but I just want the best person.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

It depends on the St Kilda person Barry.
McQualter or X Clarke might have the credentials now, given their record at Richmond.
Would Harvey invest in an assistant role given he is unlikely to be required at Collingwood and he missed the senior role at Moorabbin?
Is there anyone else that springs to mind?

Sir Leonard

So that’s the high performance sorted.

 

[George]

Surely we could find someone more credentialed than The Skrob to be in charge of the midfield

We get smashed in the clearances by bog average teams, just doesn't seem like there's a good collective strategy at centre stoppages

Not his job

 

[Mat Mann]

Can we get Lenny back as our midfield coach?

I know this is going to come up a lot, but the chances of Lenny coming to Melbourne are zero!! why?
he voluntarily left GWS last year, bought a property in the blue mountains to retire away from footy with his family.

Dean Soloman after his 12 month break, might just be cherry ripe for the Saints

Wikipedia
Solomon was an assistant coach with Fremantle in 2010.[5] He joined the new Gold Coast Football Club as an assistant coach in the months before they entered the AFL for the 2011 season.[6]

After 9 years of service as an assistant coach with Gold Coast, Solomon was dismissed.[7][8][9] Upon his departure from the club, and on the advice of Adam Simpson, Solomon decided to take a 12 month sabbatical from the AFL in a bid to further develop himself with an eye on returning to coaching in 2022; during this sabbatical, he ran gym in Kingscliff.

Not his job

Blame the St Kilda media team this is what it shows when you click on him on the website

Yeah those descriptions are very vague, usually coaches will help wherever they can. McGlynn does clearance/stoppage.

That was last year. You missed the 2021 press release. He was the forwards coach this year. Lade did midfield.

Isn't Lenny farming cows in the Blue Mountains these days?

He had a very good name as an assistant coach if I remember correctly.

Hornsby had to go we looked so unfit at the start of the year & that played onto our skill level. poor preseason we finally got some fitness mid season & results showed.

Can recall Lethlean saying last year that we had the fittest side in the comp- something went wrong

We are apparently restructuring the fitness department. Wallis parted ways on good terms.

Hornsby was let go.

the rumour I heard early this morning was Russell from Carlton to lead a restructured department. Then Hornsby was announced a few hours later.

so it’s half right so far. But again, only a rumour (not from any stkilda horses mouth)

Harvey isn’t coming for those wanting it.

Andrew Russell? Another ex hawthorn link.

We all love Harvey but this is good. I'd rather the club make rational and deliberate appointments than get swept up by nostalgia and sentimentality.

That’s how I felt.

I saw the pies link on bigfooty before aswell. I’ll take. Half right rumour like this. It means substantial change in an area we were all unhappy with.
