If we hired Tredrea and sacked Trigg at the same time it would balance out
Great points James and agree but dont want to see anymore ex Geelong personnel for as you pointed out need to get new fresh ideas as already have Geelong influence well and truly already.So why do we have coaches then?
Is it not their role to ensure that they can get the very best out of their players? To instruct and coach them on not only how to play their role, but how to improve as players? To create structures and gameplans that will stand up when the pressure's on? To inspire the players and ensure they're at the top of their game? To make the tough decisions and drop players who are under-performing or can't play their role due to injury?
Yes you would have read that, but chances are it was different posters who were praising Campo in 2012, that were praising him in 2011 and 2013. Campo has been at our club for 4 years now I think, 3 of them have been horrible and the 1 good year has coincided with a new senior coach, the addition of an experienced assistant and quite conceivably the natural development of players such as Dangerfield, Sloane, Jacobs and Wright, who all had career best years in 2012.
This year, our midfield structures/set ups have been an absolute shambles, right from the word go our midfielders have been playing from behind and regularly 2nd to the ball, our ruckman hitting the ball no where near our players (this has improved however), whilst leaving friggin runways for opposition midfielders, even ruckman at times, to clear the ball by foot and kick un-pressured into their forward 50.
This is without mentioning the number of opposition midfielders who have kicked massive bags of goals because our midfielders play unaccountable football. Now its easy to say our midfielders should be more accountable, but surely it is Campo's and the rest of the coaching departments job to pull them up and say "MAN UP!!!" or more to the point work with them to improve their defensive running and if these players cannot or refuse to play more accountable football, you drop them. Simple as that.
Since Sando has taken over after a disastrous 2 years under Craig, just 1 assistant coach has moved on and that's because he has ambitions as a Senior coach and realised he needed to leave Adelaide. The rest of the mob are still there. When Craig took over, he sacked Ayres entire assistant coaching panel and brought in his own group of guys. Chances are if Craig hadn't quit, he probably would have coached on into 2012 such was our clubs unwillingness to hold anyone accountable. Oh, except for Rendell, he had to go.
Contract or not, Sando needs to have his own coaching panel, not Craigy's plus a couple of additions, especially now that Sando would have an intimate knowledge of his playing group and the side is already starting to look less and less like Craigy's. In my opinion Bickley, Campo and Clark need to go, we need fresh ideas from across the competition to ensure continued improvement in our side.
I hope not, he'd have all our forwards getting cheap kicks up on the wing.
or maybe he will help them out like he did with tex last year...
