We had a few good discussions about Mick McGuane last season and for those who haven't read the Hun today, there is quite a big article on McGuane and some of the problems he has faced plus a reference that his name is linked to a possible consultant position with the Doggies.

On the radio (either 3AW or SEN, I cannot remenber exactly) few days ago, he admitted that he was talking to an AFL club on a some sort of football related work. He did not said which club when asked.
 
Pretty sure the current problems highlighted in the paper are as a result of past misdemenours in the main and not anything new.

On the topic of coaching did anyone here Robert Shaw and Barry Richardson talking footy on SEN this morning?Richardson seems to think we are on the right track and Shaw made a few good points about how hamstrung we were with our set up last season and the fact that we did all we could without any quality talls.Richardson also said getting a few better options up forward will help us with our midfield accountability alot because the ball wont be bouncing straight back all the time.Does anyone know if Richardson is on full time?I only ask because there was a caller who asked how Matty Boyd was going and Richardson said he didnt know alot about him which concerned me a touch.Did mention he played well again on friday however.

Look at some of the current successful coaches, Sheedy, Malthouse, Worsfold and Laidley for example and they all got the most out of their potential as players and now appear to be able to do the same with the players they coach

Throw in Pagan, Ayres, Roos & maybe one day Harvey. the thing i like the most about the above list is they were all defensive players. They all had the ability to shut down their opponent. And i believe the same aspect shows in the way their respective teams play. Their teams are built on a sound defensive game (being able to shut teams down, before they can get a run on) If i am not mistaken Peter also was a defensive player, hopefully this attribute is quickly built into the doggies game.

If you were going to add anyone to the coaching staff
I'd prefer blokes like creature, Rick Kennedy, Silvagni, Harvey etc
If you can stop the opposition scoring, you take the pressure off the forwards, a forward without pressure will kick straight all day long.

Then I'd like to know what the hell he has been doing for the past 6-7 months.

How can someone who has a prominent part in the footy dept, who answers directly to the CEO, not know much about an emerging player on the list?

How can he provide any decent consultancy if he doesn't know what players we have?
