Coach Sam Mitchell's direction for the club and 2024 news

[Strapping Young Lad]

If anyone wants to have a listen about what the data is saying in regards to whether we have actually gotten worse this year have a listen to this from the 9:15 mark.

I know a few people have already touched on it, but the data is also showing that our results this year have been slightly better despite actually putting out a younger team and dealing with some injuries.




And here.

Really don't get how anyone can have an issue with the way Sam communicates. Love listening to him talk.

The story going round from a west coast podcast is the very first moment in the very first meeting back as the midfield coach, he comes in and puts a premiership cup and says alright I’m here to win you this.

Reckon we knock port off this week, and it helps their decimated.

One thing is certain, IF Sam is successful on field he will revolutionize they way coaches interact with the media and club members/supporters. He's already at another level.

Pfft!

You've just got no idea about how to be an irrationally demented crank with no brain and an axe to grind!

Coaching Craft | Round 1 - Gut running on display

Hear from Sam Mitchell as he describes this gut running effort from Josh Ward in our Round 1 win over North Melbourne.

Love this from Mitchell. I know the clubs done similar things in the past, but it’s usually an assistant talking through it. Could just listen to Sam talk footy all day.

Vision/graphics/tv could do with a bit of work though.

Great defensive running ward. In built defensive mindset will be a fricken star

 

[TheFourPillars]

What was mitchell's quote on hodgey as a player. He was greatest ever player without the ball he had ever seen let that sink in. It is what made Hodge really great not just as a player but as captain. If he is directing you to go somewhere u do it because he sees something u dont. Loving seeing ward demonstrate this as a young kid wow

The coaching change Sam Mitchell made before Round 1 to inspire Hawks win

“We’re quite deliberate about whether we want to coach or manage each day.”

Hopefully one day the game is shown on TV mainly from behind the goals.

I could never work out why we need to see a close up of the player as he decides where to kick the ball?

It underlines why stats are not the only measure of a players contribution to the team.
Get over stats peeps.

I can see the club culture now…

I’d like a wide view from the wing. Give me that option Kayo! Save disorientating close ups for the replay haha

All those close ups are a major reason why I prefer to watch the game from the ground

3 Cameras (ELEVATED Wing, behind each goals). Camera's are high quality enough that the entire field of play always visible.

Replays can use the extreme closeup, but I want to watch the game....

For anyone that missed 360:

Loved his cheeky grin when Robbo said he (Mitchell) used to be a ruthless player, but was only suspended once.

The directness is such a bloody breath of fresh air too. No spin or cliches - just answers. If the players are getting this kind of concise and direct engagement also it can only be a good thing.

That's why no-one posts on Bigfooty anymore...Sam Mitchel's relentless program to destroy our club culture by mentioning player's names.

 

[Tanami]

Geez I now know I would have been very very disappointed if the black and white army got Sam. He is refreshing ....no cliches...and you feel he has connected individually with the players. Wonder what he has up his sleeve when we play cats. Mitchell v Scott ....I'm licking my lips for this game. But as they say...one week at a time.
