[Bigeasy]

Just announced.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Great get. Has been around and has a lot of experience.

 

[Gasometer]

Win

 

[spurs]

It's the Rawlings show

 

[King Corey]

Quite a body of work.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

Just announced.

Was there a process?

If...

North get Brady

...And...

North get Jade

...Then...

Dipstick bloody Caro, Damo and all the other gutter dwelling AFL reporters can G.A.G.F.

 

[Danni_Benson]

My initial reaction is I’m not overly excited about this. Is he regarded highly? I know he’s experienced and he’s been around but is he really good?

 

[dus]

If he’d been anywhere but the Dees, I’d be excited.

 

[flojo]

If he’d been anywhere but the Dees, I’d be excited.

And Richmond when they stunk.

 

[Mordecai]

Coached a vfl side to the premiership I think

 

[BoomerRoo]

Jade is a very good get!

 

[Firestarter]

Coached a vfl side to the premiership I think

A grand final yes. A premiership perhaps not.

 

[Mordecai]

A grand final yes. A premiership perhaps not.

You're correct. Pleasing that was only last year.

Rawlings, who coached the Casey Demons to a grand final last season, most recently stepped back into the AFL coaching system during Melbourne’s mid-season restructure of the football department, where he became the forward line coach for the remainder of 2019.

* yeah.
The pieces are finally coming together.
Rawlings X 2, Brayshaw.
They're coming home.
Let's get that Josh Kelly thread going again!

 

[Tas]

Has he been good anywhere?

 

[Rod Stroker]

My initial reaction is I’m not overly excited about this. Is he regarded highly? I know he’s experienced and he’s been around but is he really good?

My first thought. And my feeling is the answer is not yes.

Yes

Doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence. The Dees offense was horrible in the second half of the year, couldn't kick a score.

The Dees looked underdone from early on, in almost every position bar ruck. Watching a VFL game and seeing Jade speaking to players at 3/4 time it’s difficult to be left unimpressed. He’s a very well spoken clear communicator who insists all players eyes are on him when he speaks. He drives high standards and has a truckload of experience to impart and add to the coaching crew.

He also has unfinished business at North.

I like the appointment personally and look forward to seeing how it goes. A new set of eyes is a good thing also.

Pre restructure whilst at Casey they went 3 wins and 6 losses.
Post restructure without Jade they went 6 wins and 3 losses.

Y'know, that VFL GF we had just talked about...

 

[Hojuman]

Gettin' the band back together.

My first thought. And my feeling is the answer is not yes.

I also don’t particularly like the family connection. Hard for Brady to be objective when reviewing his brother. I might have it wrong and that’s not Brady’s role. I know Brady’s professional but blurs the lines in my opinion.

Surely they’re mature enough to deal with that.

hope he goes well but not overly excited by his appointment as Senior assistant.
