Coach Fages and the coaching group

[Tom14]

For 40% of the game though? Would you want to lose your #1 key forward for that much of the game?

Joe was a unicorn in that he was genuinely very good in the middle. Not really as a ruckman per se but winning contest and running to dangerous spots.

BARRETT: Lions eye their next coach, but they might face a fight

Having convinced premiership coach Fagan to stay in charge of their club until the completion of the 2027 season, the Lions have begun preliminary consideration on how the future could look, and a transition from Fagan to Daly has already been informally discussed by those who hold the club's power.

Interesting article. He must be really settled in Brisbane and love the club

That is as close to angry Fages as the public will see, the narrative that he is too soft on the players is a furphy, he'd be blunt with brutally honest feedback when needed behind closed doors.

I wish there was a little table next to him which he could have flipped over in anger.

We don't really know what was said to players but after the Suns effort i am sure he did not hold back.

Fagan has mentioned before you need to save your big spray as it won't work if done regularly.

I know there were a few criticisms of Murray Davis over the years but looking at how Adelaide have stepped it up a notch this year - was he underrated during his time with us? could he be part of the reason why Adelaide have gone to another level? Looks to be Nicks' right hand man now.

Nah he was only at our club because he was dating Bree Brock

Of course he was. Anyone coming from a non-AFL pathway is always going to be underestimated.

Bruce & Dew reportedly approached by Port and Dees for assistant coaching positions

 

[M Malice]

If a couple leave we should ask Luke Hodge again.

Bruce & Dew reportedly approached by Port and Dees for assistant coaching positions

If Dew leaves to Port, its going to be tough, but I'll be changing my team to Port. Because they will never tear us apart.

 

[Thomasno]

I don’t see why Dew or Bruce would move for assistant positions. Both are fairly new here still and are in a successful system in a team that will be contending for a very long time. Bruce may want to go back to Melbourne sure, but Dew has been settled in QLD for some time now - and would have had the option to move elsewhere when the suns sacked him, but he didn’t.

Similar for Daly, who apparently Carlton are talking to - why would he move? If the rumours are true that he’s our choice for next coach after Fagan (presumably) retires in the next year or two, he would be inheriting a team very well set up for the next decade similar to Chris Scott

did. Why would he a) go to a club as publicly a trainwreck as Carlton, and b) go for exactly the same job he is currently doing here?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Maybe Daly can start building his team for when he takes over from Fages

 

[irel]

Not long ago (this thread will attest to that) we had crap assistant coaches that no one wanted. Now these same coaches are being torn apart from us because apperantly they are good.
Oh well we just have to find more crap coaches to fill these roles.
Refresh coming on. Not a bad thing.

Was thinking the same thing. Just over a year ago they were all duds anyway.

Are you saying we need to recruit Matthew Primus or Tony Shaw?

 

[Mr Ripper]

A-Corn is just down the road. If anyone can teach our forwards not to be lazy…

 

[irel]

Exactly. Fages will shape them into gun assistants and everyone will want them.

 

[Squizz89]

Can’t see us losing them all but not sure if a rejuvenation is good or not. Probably don’t want that much turnover given how successful we’ve been.

You’d think Daly would hang around if there’s a handshake agreement in place to take over from Fages in a few years. Similarly Dew has been settled in QLD for a long time now, but could see Bruce heading home perhaps.

So many money grabbers at this club!!!

They are when we don't want them to leave.
When we want them to leave but they stay, they are duds.

 

[Bucking Beads]

We're an attractive club to be at at the moment. If Assistants to move on then I believe we will have no issue attracting decent replacements
