Barker - Forward Line Coach

http://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/4311/newsid/104137/default.aspx

It doesn't actually say forward line coach, just assistant coach so maybe he has more of an idea in other areas of the ground

Well he's watched back lines tear him apart for four years, maybe he's seen first hand how they should operate

Still very happy overall with our new coaches.

Guys this is a realy bad move, we just undone all our good work in securing Richardson & Brown, this guy is a serious hack........

Lets take a look at his track record.

In the two years at Stkilda as forward coach the Saints struggled to kick goals, he leaves Leigh Tudor arrives and they make two GF's in a row....

Then he goes to Hawthorn and turns a Premiership side with two gun forwards who kicked over 170 goals beteween them into an average side with a disfunctional forward line!!

We should have at least taken a recently retired player as a rookie assistant coach rather then this bloke..............

 

[Bic]

No, do you?

Yer, he's a friend of a friend of a friend.

 

[Aphrodite]

Yer, he's a friend of a friend of a friend.

That's nice

 

[Bic]

No point everyone jumping at him now... Let's see what he does first.

No doubt his thoughts have to go through Richardson and Ratten first.

Confidence levels that our coaches can be above average AFL standard in their roles are:

Brett Ratten: 5/10
Alan Richardson: 8/10
Mark Riley: 4/10
Gavin Brown: 7/10
John Barker: 3/10

Overall: 27/50

An average lot.

..........so.. Swann and Icke are world beaters for bringing in Richardson and Brown but don't know what they're doing when they get Barker???
Under Ross Lyon, the Saints have struggled to kick bags of goals fullstop and they made 2 GF's not on the back of their scoring prowess. And there was a fair bit more going on at HAwthorn after their Premiership to suggest that the F50 coach wasn't to blame!!!

Well said Alice

 

[Chris Judd Fan]

Does anyone think that we should sign up Silvagni now (on the downlow ofcourse), send him on a coaching tour for a year, and then slot him in for the 2012 season?

Is this like Mike's top 50 list? Maybe we can win the NAB Cup again and boost these lads rankings up a bit, fingers crossed!

Any whispers on Ants coach.

James Mc Donald ? I don't know ?

He'd be a good one. I still reckon Wiggins will be involved somehow, but there may be someone else as head coach of the Ants.

Another couple are; Brad Johnson or the likes of Tyson Edwards what are they doing ? Have they been snapped up yet ? Both have a wealth of experience.

 

[Sin City]

Yeah maybe, although I reckon Brad Johnson may go more on the media side of things and I'd want to know more about Edwards years of feuding with his team mate McLeod before taking him on. Nothing to say it has to be a guy who's just retired either, we did just pinch an experienced coach from each of Essendon, Collingwood and Hawthorn so you never know who the club might pull in.

 

[Aphrodite]

Word is Brad Johnson is about to be signed up with CH7.

I have no doubt Wiggins will be some way involved with the Ants.

Runner ? Team manager ? I don't think he'll get the coaching gig.

I think we've upped the ante.

 

[Aphrodite]

I don't think that he will get the coaching role, but maybe an assistant role.
Are there assistants in the VFL?

Yeah I think Matthew Lappin was an assistant to Teague in 2008, something like that would be great for Wiggo.

 

[Jock]

Agreed assistant would be perfect - We all love the wiggler it was a real pity he couldn't quite crack it at the top level.

That is what I was thinking along those lines Sin
