What not to do.

It's funny how Ross lost a Grandfinal to a team that played the kids.

It’s funny how it only took Buckley 2 seasons to ruin those kids

Coaches wouldn't teach much about the skill side of the game - as you suggest these are the best players in the country, there's not a lot to teach. Coaches would be more involved in a structural perspective - how are players setting up when the play is not in their area, when it is in their area, stoppages etc. Also, what areas players are getting it wrong on the day - they might be overusing handball, or letting players free at stoppages for example.

When it comes to a GF, my point is at that point in a season you’re not learning anything new. You can’t blame a coach for a GF **** up.

I think you’ve gone a bit extreme there.

I think you've gone nonsensical there

This thread isn't about Buckley but I guess that's also funny.

Not at all. Explain your reasoning for that comment.

Good vs evil.
Heaven vs hell.
Solar vs lunar.
Dionysus vs christ.
Dimma vs Ross.
**** vs flat champagne.

Having a long hard considered think about this... flat champagne is such a tricky mindset

Some utterly deluded and ignorant gobshites seem to think that a coach’s winning percentage is more important than premierships.

Yeah, agreed. Buckley has a higher win % than Hardwick. Similarly, I'd rather be Clarkson than Longmire or Simpson, and have 4 flags to show over having a higher winning %.

That Lyon is a good coach.

Mate....... you’re on BF for *s sake. You’ve got Hawthorn and Melbourne rationale then you’ve got the rest.

What Lyon said in his latest West Australian interview pretty much sums up the the rebuild debate: "Everyone who criticises me for not rebuilding, all I ask for is time."

He didn't leave the Saints because he was worried at the thought of going through a rebuild, he left because it took them 6 months to sort out his contract and by the time they did he'd gotten a better offer. Their loss.

Has his players kicked straight in 09 he'd have at least one premiership. With a bit of luck he'd have three. All with lists less superior then the opposition he faced. It's fine not to like his gameplan during those periods, but if anyone says he can't coach they clearly don't know s***.
