Strategy North Melbourne Coaching Changes 2020 & Beyond

[King Corey]

So maybe "Better Call Paul"?

View attachment 991608

Perfect.

Roos would put them through a 2 hour general chat where he talks about the surf out his way, how he likes his coffee single ethical origin, how he loves the all the spare time to meditate but his "wife has told him to get out of the house more often lol".

The North staff are getting more and more fidgety, hungry and tired and wondering when the small talk will finish so they can get down to brass tacks.

The real shock comes at that point when Roos announces "ok guys, I've really enjoyed this initial meet and greet. I'm now happy to talk more seriously. I'll get my PA to call you to schedule in a proper 2 way screening chat, just so we can feel out each other's expectations and see if we want to go any further with this" (yells in background "Candace can you block out 4 hours next week for me to speak to some people in Melbourne thanks?").

Before any North staff can react Roos has stood up (revealing he was in speedos all along) and ended the call.

How did we get to a point where we need Paul Roos as a ‘consultant’ at our club.

So many ppl still with their head in the sand

Perhaps he and his wife will be working with the collective group in an off-field capacity to try and individually assess each player to figure out why the entire list played so s**t this year.

There's leaking information and feeding information.

The difference being?

 

[Passmore]

The difference being?

A leak is generally not a good thing. It's something that you don't want to happen. It needs to be fixed.

Feeding information to a journo would be a deliberate act. You want the information out there.

 

[blackshadow]

The difference being?

Feeding is done for a strategic advantage.

Leaking is generally done to discredit an organisation.

I would be giving Gary Ayres a call. pleanty of afl finals coaching experiance, hasnt won an afl Big dance but won premierships with the borough so definately is a good matchday coach and motivator.

...this Gary Ayres?

Feeding is done for a strategic advantage.

Leaking is generally done to discredit an organisation.

Feeding information is when you do it.

Leaking is when someone else does it.

Port Coach Ken Hinkley Talks About The Future Of Michael Voss At The Club

Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley has assured fans that barring a “senior opportunity” elsewhere, highly-touted assistant Michael Voss will remain at the club. Hinkley told FIVEAA’s Rowey & Bicks that keeping the club’s current coaching group together “is going to be difficult, but we’re really...

Now Official - Shaw is now gone


As for the next steps, over the past few weeks we have had to plan for several contingencies. One of those was to prepare to be on the hunt for a new coach and that search begins immediately.

We will establish a coaching panel setup and its aim will be simple: to identify and appoint the best coach available.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to continue to build towards the next era of success at Arden St and work with one of the most talented groups of young players in the league.

Now Official - Shaw is now gone

Just got the email from the club.
Focus on young players with support of senior players. Mentions all of them except Higgins.

Time to cut out who we dont want.....Just look at the runner up and any new applications. As businesses and agencies say " if you have already applied for the position please do not re-apply"

 

[Only Forwards]

I reckon we will see Roos in a management consultancy type role who sits on the selection committee rather than him being engaged as a coach.

 

[Rooboy 96]

now we can discuss this with some meaning, thanks Rhyce all the best mate

 

[the flying ham]

Voss. Get him.

 

[tales129]

[The Nostradamus]

Voss the boss

 

[LB2Snake]

Schofield - get it done

People understand there is a human element to coaching right? That they need some empathy and people skills amongst their arsenal?

I get why you just spitball some players who had great playing careers but that's rarely translated to being a great coach.

 

[Shinboner1]

We're desperate for a fagan type. I reckon Choco Williams is our man

 

[shinboner magic]

Need to nail this.

Really hope we look at mark Williams

 

[FlyHigh18]

Now with hindsight: we got rid of stable mediocrity a year early in turn for whatever crap hole we're in now.

So so many wrong decisions have been made. Giving brad an extra 2 years? mistake. then getting rid of him without someone in line? mistake. Getting rid support for Shaw (or not providing enough), mistake.

i'm not a happy camper.
