Thanks Macca23 for trying to explain the new structure of the footy department. Now Clarke is a development coach, do we require a ruck coach?

Did I miss something, where did it say he has become a development coach?

Edit: never mind

AFC said:
Adelaide has also boosted its development area with assistant coach Matthew Clarke moving into a full-time development coaching role, joining existing development manager Peter Jonas and development coaches Tate Kaesler and Alan Stewart. The main focus for the former Brisbane, Adelaide and St Kilda ruckman will be improving the Club’s midfield group.
 
Looking forward to the Adelaide V Melbourne game next season or the "Battle of the disgruntled ex coaches".
Neeld and Sando will be of course be relegated (by the media) to secondary roles only.:p
 
With all these new coaches, I hope there isn't any mixed messages being sent to the players by each of the coaches. It will be extremely important that we maintain a clear and consistent message throughout all our coaches.

I recall Sando saying last week that there was a place for the "Leading Teams" program however only for a short period when your launching from ground zero and then there comes a point of time where the club must invest in in- house capability.

With this in mind, even though Paddy has a background in "leading Teams" I view his appointment as the critical step in cutting formal ties with the program, yes the club may retain some elements of the Leading Teams concept however I would be surprised if Patty's brief is not to re-design and launch a new fit for purpose program

Personally, i see the addition of Bailey as very good. Innovations and strategy is an area where i thought about earlier. Good move.

That's a valid question.

As Clarke is full-time development coach of the mid-field, that may well incorporate the rucks as well, in which case a ruck coach would be superfluous.

Love the addition of Bailey and the role he will play as I've been pumping for this for the last 3 to 4 years. :thumbsu:
 
Leading teams may have some poor aspects, but is there a real need to throw the complete package out? I can't see any harm in keeping those aspects you view as positive, and combine them with other approaches - tweaking it to benefit your circumstances as it were. Too many times we see companies invest in a program, only to chuck the whole lot out only to re-invent the wheel some years later at considerable cost.
 
Without fully understanding it, I think this coaching structure makes more sense to me than the director of coaches one Trigg recently said he didn't think would work for us. Bailey I would think will be good for that role.

On the leading teams thing, I recall Sanderson saying in an interview something along the lines of he liked it, but not all elements of it, he may of said something about it not suiting all players or wearing off after a while I can't remember exactly but I remember thinking that his thoughts suited our list and where we are at.

That was what I was thinking, well put.

It doesn't mean he's going to ram the "Leading Teams Template" home. It means we have a leadership expert to design a leadership program however Sando and him want it.

That's the way I see it too, as he appears to be as a staff employee rather than an outside consultant.

Yeah true but you'd also imagine it would have a strong leading team slant towards it with his history and leaderships philosophies.
 
Dean had a lot to do with Port's 2004 flag as it were, and he was ousted from the Melbourne football club after they bowed to the pressure they themselves engineered, by instructing him to do exactly the job he did. Reality is he's a terrific thinker, tactically very strong, and will add a lot to our club through applied focus.

Amer, Bailey is a reasonable get but to give him a lot of credit with 2004 premiership is a bit rich. There were a few other names that probably had a greater influence including Williams, Clarkson and Walsh. In fact Bailey was part-time where as Clarkson was the only full-time assistant to Choco.

Probably.... But You do not know, like we do not know...

What we do know was he impressed Gary Lyon and the Melbourne Football Club enough to get their job. That is enough for me....

What we also know is in recent weeks Port has been trying desperately hard, hoping to get him back to the club. He must be highly regarded at Port....

Baileys biggest failing was he tried to do the right thing for the Melbourne Football Club at his own expense.... He didnt trade in any senior players ( could of easily got Luke Ball for example) And he moved on a heap of senior players before their time so he could get games in younger players....
Mark Neeld is in a better position now thanks to the foundation set by Bailey.
 
The interesting thing to me about all the coaching changes this year is that the press has not go one of them correct nor even got wind of what is happening

The clubs must be getting more cagey about leaking info to the press and it's great to see these journos making out they know everything and then be proven wrong. Not hard to be a footy journo IMO
 
Bailey's role assisting Sando plus the line coaches.

Help roll out the game plan that Sando wants.

Sando so enthusiastic that it will rub off on both players and supporters.

Game day - assisting mid-field coaches and mentoring some of the younger players.

Not sure whether Campo or Bicks will be the mid-field coach but he will be assisting that position.

Triggy approached him with a list of duties of the role, and when he read it he kept ticking them off one after the other - thought I like that role.

He's a Scotty Thompson fan.

Preferred Adelaide to Port because better resourced - helps fast track players better and that gives them a greater advantage. Also Sando coming from a premiership environment was an attraction.

No probs with family - wife and 2 boys enjoy living in Adelaide. However next year though they will stay in Melbourne while one of his lads finishes his VCE before moving over.

Comes across as very knowledeable. Will only benefit our club. Love the new structure of of the footy department. Now for a successful tade and draft period hopefully.
 
good get. happy with this appointment.:thumbsu:

have previously worked with the wife, so it's good to see them back in Adelaide. welcome home Dean Bailey and family.
 
Think this is a good get. Sometimes a bad period in a coaches career like Bailey has just had only makes them better in these types of roles down the line, as they can help other less experienced coaches not make the same mistakes they did, which I'm happy for Sando to be able to call on.

He's also had some good experience working with high draft pick youngsters, and re-working a list.
