Past Coach Jordan Russell - departs NM for Carlton

[DaveyBoy123]

Can't say I was a fan of him as a player.

I know playing & coaching are 2 separate things, so all I can say is that I hope he doesn't coach the way he plays.

wondering if Coach Noble was part of the selection panel for Russells appointment.

 

[Psicosis]

So hire 1 as the vfl head coach
Preseason is about to start

vfl program seems very unorganised

What is with the VFL coach obsession?

 

[The Nostradamus]

What is with the VFL coach obsession?

We’ve seemed to half arse the vfl program since making a team

I know your game... You just want to find shitmen to put into the VFL team...

 

[Ry009]

wondering if Coach Noble was part of the selection panel for Russells appointment.

Someone better tell David King if he was.

 

[chairo]

So another coach who has spent a lot of time in player development. Seems to be a real theme to our appointments.

 

[giantroo]

 

[Sticksphat]

We’d be the only club without a vfl coach and it’s December

plus a lack of vfl players recruited/signed for next year which means we will be stuck mainly with teenagers who weren’t selected in the draft next week

You mean like another 10 shots at the draft for free?

said Russell is an exciting appointment for the club.

“Jordan has numerous years’ experience in a range of roles, which is really attractive to us,” Rawlings said.

“His strong character along with his experience from a playing and coaching perspective will be invaluable in helping us build on our talented list.
“He is a natural leader and he will be a great asset to our coaching group.”

Russell played 125 AFL games for Carlton and Collingwood from 2005-2013, before transitioning to Footscray in the VFL as a player and development coach.

He featured in the club’s 2014 and 2016 VFL Premierships, as captain in 2016 and on-field captain in the 2014 Grand Final.

s**t!!! All along I’ve actually pictured Scotty Russell from the pies in my head. Was excited. Don’t know much about Jordan.

Ya Hooo! Our blokes will soon be able to throw like the best in the comp!!!

 

[ChoppyGun]

Is it asking too much for a North shirt to be on an employee when officially welcoming them?

I know pedantic but it's very amateur.

 

[discodaddy]

Ya Hooo! Our blokes will soon be able to throw like the best in the comp!!!

Well, we are the instigators of many a rule change...

 

[Rod Stroker]

This sounds like a meh appointment to me. Of all the assistant coaches in the market, plus the ones already at other clubs that we could have chased, I'm not convinced this bloke was the best choice as our midfield coach. But I've been wrong before.

Very harsh.

At least give him a crack first.....

unlike a Rod stroker to fire prematurely

I would have preferred if the club was bolder and went after a more higher rated midfield coach.

We don't have the luxury of "giving cracks", and taking punts.

How do you know how he is "rated"?

He might be a great appointment, no need to be negative just because he isn't a household name.

It's not a horse race with formlines.....
