First lesson To Freo players is the Paint defenceHolistic coaching: "It is a style that considers aspects beyond the athlete's physical and mental states such as their emotional and spiritual states. In the holistic style, the coach creates a relationship with every individual athlete based on interpersonal communication and genuine care."

The only two great player/great coaches I can think of in the relatively "modern" era are Norm Smith and Dick Reynolds.
And if it has already been mentioned I put my hands up in abject apology, but Vince Lombardi was a very limited footballer as were Alex Ferguson and Matt Busby.

Then there's the puke offense in Semi Pro that the players had to practice until they puked!
Jackie Moon got special coaching in the offense from the player coach, (who by the way was traded to them for a washing machine).

Very intrigued to hear his speech at the Doug tonight and see what insights come from it
There’s a live stream too.
Malcolm Blight and Leigh Matthews (!!) not come to mind?

Yeah he wasn't much like Iron Man. He was more like the stretchy guy from fantastic 4
From a basketball perspective, coaches can be non players or have played at a lower level or have been a role player off the bench.
Basketball culture accepts any coach as long they are good enough.
AFL culture tends to be light years behind. Players and the footy public don’t accept coaches who haven’t played AFL.

I hope he stops flogging the word ‘passion’ from now on. Yeah, we’re passionate, but I’ve never heard that work spruiked as much in the public media as I have in the past week.
Yeah it got a bit much but I doubt we hear anything from him for at least a month but more likely much longer.

I imagine it comes from the board and co. though, just the message they want to send. wE LiStEn tO tHe fAnS aNd ArE PaSsIoNaTe
I really do hope the passion comes back though, was one of the great things about being a Freo supporter in the 00's

i've not been going to games for very long due to living interstate for a while and i absolutely love going now and the crowd is incredible... however... it is nothing like what you see in videos from the past, the J-Lo after the siren kick game gives me goosebumbs every time i see it because of how hyped and involved the crowd is! and the pictures you see of everyone throwing their arms up with their blow up anchors in hand are amazing! would love it if we could get it back to that!

Thinking about that Jlo goal, it really annoys me how the new stadium has the raised seating above the ground meaning players can't run into the crowd like that anymore.
I'd hate for a player to forget and run face first into the concrete

Loudest crowd ive ever been to was against the Dees at Subi 2006
Went to get some beers at half time, got held up ( as you do at subi the shithole ) by thye time i got back to y seat we were about 3 goals down
Like WTF what happened ?
After that it was a ding dong affair and we prevailed by about 3 or 4 goals
The noise coming from the crowd during the FREEEO chant was pure guttural, in unison with 42,000 fans
Residents in Subi reckon it was the loudest noise they ever heard
The rest of the night was a blur for some reason
I’m pretty sure that was one of the games we come up from Busso for. It was crazy.Loudest crowd ive ever been to was against the Dees at Subi 2006

The new stadium is a ripper but raising the seating above the playing surface detracts enormously from the atmosphere. It’s just not the same.
We have to remember it's not just for the players to increase our passion, it is for the crowd to increase the players passion equally. Personally I'm trying to keep square with this.
