The only thing sos be of any benefit to the club would be as a potential bridge (consultant)to recruit Cripps/fisher.....

We need people who are up with the modern game.
Young blood is needed.
Young blood is needed.
We need people who are highly competent. It doesn't matter if they are 16, 95 or somewhere in between.

Being up with the modern game is a good start I reckon.
95 might be a bit too old but I get your drift.
Perhaps I should have said NEW blood instead of YOUNG blood eh!
Being competent is obviously a needed qualification but signing up blokes that have been around for years with little or no success is hardly the answer.

You can tell it was bye week.
It has gone from RTB coaching Carlton to Silvagni coming to Freo with strings attached.
Trying to keep a straight

Hale and Guerra seem like our weak points in the coaching team. I don't see "young" as the important bit. In fact I hope we get some senior assistant through the door.
Re Bell's role,
I don't care if he wants to cut the oranges up or snort coke in the coaching box on match day.
When I went along a couple of weeks ago with my mate's Medallion Club ticket I watched the warmups and Bell was down with the players during drills and very active. I believe he's a really smart man and his record in football speaks for itself.
He can cobble all he wants for mine. since he's been at the club we've been steadily improving in all areas as far as I can tell.

Like Bolton
I can't see why you think he would make a great line coach. I think that kind of job best suits aspirational coaches who work their butts off to get some runs on the board. If we brought in an experienced AFL coach as an assistant I think it should be for their strategic input, and as a likely succession plan candidate.

There seems to be some perception that it's Bell v Lyon at FFC. It's far more likely that two blokes who love the club and really want success are working together towards that end.
But of course there's no mileage in that.

They’re on the same team

not jess
Not remotely true.
Him and Lyon are mates too. I don’t mind this.
Quiet in here...where are all the naysayers and doomsday preppers

Three or four weeks ago i posted that ross might be gone by now...i sure know how to put my foot in my mouth. Glad he has turned it around.
Hopefully people learn to not make premature judgement calls in the future

I was thinking the same.
Very positive to the end, even when he didn't have the cattle.
Some people are pretty good assistants.
Games like today demonstrate that Ross is communicating effectively with the players, and they're buying in to what he's selling.
I still have a feeling though that many of our weaknesses are due to the quality of our assistants however. Defensively we're sound because Ross knows that area of the ground like no others.
Feel like when we do well in the forward half of the ground though it's due to individual brilliance combined with natural team cohesion as opposed to any solid structure.

I'm not going to but I bet it sounds like any set of fans of a rebuilding club (and even some middle or the road clubs - guarantee Port is blaming the umps and Ken on their board).
We fans are emotional, not rationale. It is not surprising we don't make sense a lot of the time.
I'm not sure you can honestly ask much more than what you've just described.
You rely on forwards having some level of X factor. Opposition defenders are very good.
The way Matera played today was exemplary. Cox actually took a shot instead of passing off and guess what? He kicked it. I don't know of we can get much better unless the mids kick a few.

Going back is never much good.
People are entitled to change and give their opinions at different stages of the season.
I've been MIA the last few weeks mainly because I've just moved house and trying to move 14 years worth of stuff from a family of four has been a bit crap.
I've been a vocal anti-Ross person but I've certainly enjoyed the last three weeks
I heard Fyfey talk after the game today on 6PR and he basically sounds like Ross. Not just the footy/tactical stuff but even sentence structure and sayings. Fyfey is completely bought into Ross and at the moment you have to say it looks like the rest of the team has as well.
As far as rebuilds go it's hard to fault this year so far.
