Leon Cameron - is he the man?

[dont bowl there]

Time to move him on. He won't coach this side to a flag. This side should be a serious contender

This exact sentence could be used for 6 of the last 7 years.

 

[Crashy]

The Giants are no longer the ferrari more like a Renault Clio

 

[NewMelbournian]

Is Leon willing to do the hard yards of a full 3 year rebuild? Will they go like Geelong who tried too hard to stay up where they've hit their ceiling that is just short of a premiership.

We saw with Hawthorn a refusal to properly rebuild at the end of the premiership years lead to a longer than needed hangover. Or will they go like the Dogs and Swans where going hard and early at the rebuild makes it be a shorter process.

The problem I think is that they have an emotional connection to the founding players and nobody wants to admit that generation needs to be moved on as it won't win a premiership.

They just need a more daring game plan
The coach is far too risk averse

Clarkson would get a flag out of this mob. Time for them to throw the kitchen sink at him.

- is not the man.

 

[HTPunter]

Davis is now done, he's pulling hammies chasing the youth, their forward line is new together but the mix seems all wrong (all of Himmelberg, Riccardi, Brander and Hogan but Green still needs to ruck?), Haynes is way off it - maybe a lack of fitness due to his stomach issues but he can't be played then.

And what to make of a list with guys the skill and speed of Whitfield, Kelly, Coniglio, Cumming, Perryman, Ash, Hill that doesn't bother to move the ball with any intent? Why play 4 marking options if you chip it around slowly? Kelly out of the center square made GWS look real dangerous, but during general play they were featherweight attacking.

List make up is all wrong for the game style. Not playing Preuss in hindsight was a bad call, really don't need all 4 of Himmelberg/Brander/Hogan/Riccardi

Leon has never got them playing a reliable system of football, when they’ve looked their best it was basically just individual brilliance over the ground and not some coaching genius.

 

[banzai]

This is his 9th year as senior coach, surely it's time for a change.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Amazing how many years he’s been given already.

 

[WillHayward]

Cameron, Longmuire, Hinkley and Scott all need to go.

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Pretty embarrassing to get spanked in the midfield against a pretty bleak Richmond midfield who were without Martin and (as always) Prestia and Lambert.

 

[GroggSquad]

Would love to see the potential of this team without having Leon Cameron

as their coach.

I don’t think you do. They should have at least 1 flag by now.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Tick Tick Tick.

Only a matter of when he goes this season, not if

 

[Gavin Excell]

I watched them closely tonight

There's a number of well paid GWS players who pick and choose when they go

 

[RUNVS]

He should have been gone 5 years ago. It was obvious he seems incapable of making GWS play like a team rather than a group of individuals who happen to be wearing the same colours. For all the amazing draft picks GWS have had they have never really looked like winning a premiership, or even looked that good most of the time.

Yep. For how he is paid Kelly should be a top 10 player in the competition and he simply isn't.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Does the AFL have a stake in GWS?

 

[Angus Young]

It was time to go a long time ago

what a waste of time

 

[Red Bull]

One goal after half time.
This man has ground this team to a halt with his defensive mindset.
Like Buckley, he’s that far down the defensive rabbit hole now , there’s only one way out …

 

[Chaisa]

No.

 

[Red Bull]

 

[Evolved1]

 

[blitzer]

Its hard to believe another coach couldn't get more out of that list.
