GWS documentary - "No Holds Barred"

[Colonial]

what do you have against Matthews?

I think his heart is in the right place but listens to so called marketing experts who are clueless.
The push towards “The Giants” and not leaning into Western Sydney Giants.
Trying to be everyone’s second team etc.
Western Sydney is parochial. As parochial as anywhere and we want them to support the club, yet seem embarrassed to be associated with the word Western Sydney, not on the badge, not anywhere on the kit (though Canberra is).

He is more concerned with marketing gimics. Most of which fall flat. Though we have had some bangers.

They are my second team. And he has a social media crew who are the envy of every other club in the AFL.
So he's doing something right.

Some but not the major things. In my opinion.

The guy left to join Tassie.

The guy left to join Tassie.

And has been muzzled.
We still have a good socials team.

your social media crew is more than just one guy

I've been watching it for a while now...when does Hulk Hogan come in? when do we get to the bit where Stan Hansen laughs at the television executive's teeny wangers??

 

[Giant YoYo]

I'm surprised he gets away with targetting players infront of the whole team and none of them have cracked the shits in public

Kingsley said on SEN he was asked by the leadership team to do that, named Toby Greene in particular as asking for it.

So he delivered.

The leadership team asking for it wasn't included in the doco sadly but would've been great to show after that spray played to give context.

 

[voorhees]

well put together doco.
enjoyed all the episodes

 

[Orange Agent]

Because they respect him.

 

[Lockyer24]

Really enjoy watching docos like this.
The most interesting thing for me out of it is Kingsley never lets his guard down around his players or his staff (from what it shown). He needs to lighten up a bit, he’s almost the coach version of what Nathan Buckley was as a player.

's half time spray against the Swans.

 

[SuperSteele22]

Halfway through it now. Great doco. Given the emphasis nowadays on coaches needing to mollycoddle and be the best mate of their players it's weirdly comforting to see that there's still some of the old school fire and brimstone coaches like Kingers kicking around. Equally as comforting is the fact that he's clearly got the maximum respect of his players. Looking forward to the rest.

Amazing doco, loved every minute. Really opened my eyes to the excitement GWS is building as a new club and the opportunity it presents to players to build something.

 

[Jatz]

I really enjoyed this. My opinion of Kingsley has risen after watching it.

Also great seeing Finn Callaghan up closer. What a player he is!

Kingsley seems like a great coach. Hard edge but nice at the core
