Preview Next AFC Coach For 2016 & Beyond

[alex_is_on_fire]

He was poor before his latest ACL, hard to imagine he'd be any better now.

Too slow, not strong enough for his role, skills average to poor.

Andy Otten really needs the AFL to introduce a reduction in interchanges to say 40. That way, the game will slow down. If he tried to play F1 AFL football, he will be way too slow.

Hopefully he can hang on but I doubt it.

The forwards he plays on will still be either too tall, too explosive or too strong for him even if the overall pace of the game slows.

true.

Otten could play Lynch's role

Could Lynch then play Otten's role?

I think he's played back before

 

[Bay62]

cant turnover the list in one year... will be a heap more moved on at seasons end i reckon.

Yep 2017 was the target

Roo said they knew they had a premiership coach, it was then about getting the right players under him

Still a work in progress

Yes he could but McGovern would be in front of Otten as a forward.

Yes you're right. I think, sadly, Otten might be cooked. Need to get games into the next gen like McGovern and Ramsey

True, I think McGovern and Ramsey are better long term options for forwards. But Otten is only 26 and it would definitely be worth giving him another low-money short-term contract as depth.

I'd rather we replace Siggins if we're going to replace a defender. Hasn't been close to AFL level really.

 

[MRB37]

Otten could play Lynch's role

I was going to say, he could have a career from here as a forward like we used him in 2013 at times, but think he's done as a defender in the AFL.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

We won't get Luke Beverage but I want someone with him football values.

Work hard, follow team rules or you will get deroipped. Doesn't matter who you are.

Crameri and McCray have spent time in the VFL.

Treat every single player the same. Hold every single player to account and make then earn their place in the side.

Great post Alex

 

[Pugsley]

Article this morning suggests the Carlton job is between Bolton and Barker.

Good ole Triggy. Will call it a recruiting coup if he was to land Campo. They never saw it coming.

Post of the thread thus far.

I don't like Campo. He's been our midfield coach for years and it's a debacle still. Sheer clearance numbers are ok, but compare the quality to our opponents and we're not in the same ballpark. Then there's the general play defensive press and it's shit. His CV is wholly meh. Worked under Sheedy in his last year of so, Matty Knights, Neil Craig's last year or so and then 3 years under Sando. Has not been part of a group that has gotten close to sustained success.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Campo doesn't inspire confidence he can do the job.

Still stand by it, he makes the finals and the club will give him the job.

Just as well we don't look like doing that then.

Couldn't you see it. The club would have no other option should we make the finals.

Absolutely I can, but I can't see us getting there if we lose Friday.

Agree and we will need a very special performance is Friday to win.

Back to the ****inging drawing board there though

 

[Ramify]

I love the bass but that doesn't mean he's right for the job.

What do you reckon makes him less right for the job than anyone else?

Seems to have as good if not better C.V then anyone else out there.

 

[hey shorty]

If nothing else he will make our whole side more defensively accountable. Didn't like the style Norwood played but it sure was effective.

100% agree that Trigg-led Crows would. I'm quietly confident that the new roogime won't fall for that and will again look for best available.

People say the same about Freo and Sydney game style. I'd prefer the flag to the highs and lows of whatever brand of football. I think he would work wonders with a team of mentally fragile young lads such as ours.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

I wonder if Bass would move for a 2IC Senior Assistant role?
