News Ottens returns as part time ruck coach

[catempire]

Music to many ears...

 

[Sttew]

This is better than what was previously budgeted for - nothing

Excellent news!

Good to see Ottens return but I think part of the reason we didn't have a ruck coach was due to McIntosh being on the books and I'm sure he was acting as a de-facto ruck coach/mentor behind the scenes.

At least that is what I'm hoping.

Woooo

 

[dazbroncos]

Very VERY ****ING good news this… and on a day where I hear Bille has done his shoulder its a highppoint on an otherwise low day….

Otto, ZS, Stanley, Vardy and Blitz getting some pointers…. Nothing bad in any of that!

GO Catters

If he feels like playing one day a week too, I would also be ok with that.

He was. Mentioned early last season in a radio interview.

Can we get this guy one day a week to train the cheer squad?

A true ruckman learning off of one of our best leads to....

What about the GF HB Ottens to Selwood to TV?
The Big O for me.

 

[JUBJUB]

the greatest Otto moment of all

 

[Jon Douglas]

I miss the days of Otto. When you knew that we were likely to win ruck contests. Watching some replays of games when he was our ruck - gee it would be good if we could once again have a ruckman of his calibre out on the park when it mattered. Hope he can help out Smith and we do have a mini renaissance this year in the rucks.

Love how Matty Lloyd throws Leon Davis automatically on the grill. Games 15seconds in.

He wasn't the only one. Garry Lyon was doing the same on MMM.

 

[ATSAM]

And Ottens on his knees handballing the ball forward for Hawkins to kick a GOAL-2011GF. Can that be taught?????

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

This is such good news having Ottens mentor a couple of very promising young rucks and a bigger and deeper midfield can only mean good things.

Cut out the middleman and just get him back on the park . Couldn't be any worse than the last few years

What about his handpass at the opening bounce of the 2011 G/F to Selwood that led to Varcoes opening goal. Brilliant.
