News Crows hires: Rahilly (forwards coach), Godden (SANFL coach), Chris Sheedy (analyst)

[baldandbroke]

Yep.

What makes you say that? Is it that you just don't think statistical based analysis of the draft works ... OR do you think Binuk is just no good at it?

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Is it clear where Binuk will fit in relation to Chris Sheedy?

I always understood Binuk’s work was related to list and draft strategy, whereas Sheedy sounds like he’ll be assisting the coaches.

If he's ' Head of Analytics and Football Innovation ', you'd imagine that would have a more fulsome scope than just list management though? I'm guessing though, could be unrelated.

 

[Scorpus]

Love how he gives the media a snipe in there

Apparently Rendell just apologized on air for being incorrect.

 

[DJ75]

Excellent news.
Rahilly a good appointment. Strong program, well credentialed and rated (although Geelong's forward line being so crap is a concern).
Godden at SANFL is great.
Sheedy is an excellent pick up. Love it.
Binuk staying is great.

Such a stronger coaching panel than we have had recently. Very happy.

Binuk - Head of Analytics and Football Innovation

You can read about his role here but it's mostly list management: https://www.linkedin.com/in/binukk/?originalSubdomain=au

Sheedy - "football and data strategist"

Sounds like a match day/opposition analyst role

 

[Mego Red]

How we going so far with his particular 'expertise'?

His analytics work has been a big part of our pick trading strategy.

Surely you agree with the idea of using statistical analysis??

EDIT: Sheedy to come under Binuk I'm guessing.

Different areas. Binuk would probably be under Hamish whereas Sheedy is involved in the match prep.

More data analysts is a very good thing.

I would love to have Rendell back working at the club, but if he did, I would have a clear "Rendell never talks to the media" rule in place.

Can't be that crap. They scored the most points this year.

When's the last time we had an opposition analyst?

 

[Ramses Red]

Starting 2021 season from a much better position

 

[arrowman]

So - Sheedy ...

1. Do we rate his work at Port? I have no idea, but I guess the club rates him

2. Most importantly (joking) does this punch a strategy-shaped hole in Kern's panel?

Nicks must be breathing a huge sigh of relief. Finally got more support and better quality around him. And all the new blokes would be champing at the bit to get into it with our young squad and upcoming quality draft picks.

A bit of excitement and hope at last

Did trade radio start today?

The playing group should be equally excited about having a new coaching group

There will be more holes once Orazio arrives.

 

[jackster83]

It's a much better lineup than the sorry excuse for a coaching group we had this season. Some outside experience from Geelong, Hawthorn, West Coast, etc can only be a good thing.

Hass remaining is the big let down. He really should have been turfed after 2018.

 

[DJ75]

Can't be that crap. They scored the most points this year.

Fair point.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Picking up Sheedy in particular is a superb move I think. Port IMO overachieved for what their list is this year, and some of that credit has to go to the football strategy department

Full credit to Nicks/Kelly for headhunting him

 

[Play On Advantage]

When's the last time we had an opposition analyst?

Rob Harding when he came over under Sanderson.

Pyke was not big on focusing on the opposition with a larger emphasis placed on "worrying about ourselves" and moved him on after repurposing him for a year.

Reassuring that he saw it for what it was and acted

 

[hey shorty]

We've gone from having almost no AFL experience outside of the Crows, to having 3 assistants who have been involved with big and successful clubs.

In other words, we have a proper AFL coaching panel.
