JK very happy on the farm?I'm still surprised we haven't tried to get Kennedy on board, who better to help our developing forwards than a former Coleman Medalist?

Simpson came from the Hawks didn’t he?Are you (and others) forgetting that Simpson comes from the Richmond school as well? Shuey would be very knowledgeable of the system.
I do totally agree with you that there would be a plethora of better options available to us though and I can't help think this thread is a big ******* joke!

Ahh….see where you’re going now. Proceed.And so did Hardwick. That's where it all flows from.

Simpson is an ex Captain of North.And so did Hardwick. That's where it all flows/stems from.
Brady GreyDid we ever actually replace Joel Corey or did he simply move up into Carrs role with no replacement?
Could say the same about Fyfe or many other retired players who coach now.Luke Shuey has been part of the worst side in recent history. Yes he won a premiership, but that was, not recently.
I don't see what he brings to the modern game.
lol. Paul Roos played for Fitzroy through the 80s and 90s, a period of such sustained ineptitude that it quite famously resulted in their demise. I’m fine that Shuey was mostly injured through a couple of bad years.Luke Shuey has been part of the worst side in recent history. Yes he won a premiership, but that was, not recently.

Isn’t Grey also a development coach in some capacity? Plus we have that ex hawks player as ruck coach.It says that Joel is a development coach - midfield and there are only two assistant coaches, those being Graham (forward line) and Boyd (Backline), so yes it feels like we are one assistant coach short. Mzungu is still development coach for the kiddoes and read for the fitness/ performance. Based on the functionality of those aspects I'd give:
Graham - B to be honest despite inexperience and a shakey start (Remember Key forwards Fyfe and Taberner) we have looked the best in a long while forward of centre. Amiss is developing really well and I think Freddy has also take another step up whilst Jackson when forward has been good also. Shultz went missing for a while but generally had had another solid season, Sturt is back to looking promising, Walters staying strong in his twilight and Treacy plays his role consistently.
Corey - D, generally disappointing (Brayshaw, O'Driscoll, O'Meara) particularly early on but the move of Young to the midfield to balance it up has looked good, Henry getting to the next level as a wing and Johnson has had moments. Not great usage out of Darcy's form when he has been there though.
Boyd - D, this was supposed to be our strength going into the year and has instead been overarchingly been disappointing with Pearce, Cox (and the defensive support for them, and the offense like Young when he was there) in particular being down. On the plus side Clark has taken a half step forward in his development, Wagner has had a good back end of the season and should be noted that the long injuries to Chapman and Cox.
I presume Bob Murphy is still around, but he isn't listed?
Good summary. I’d prob give defence a C minus. Been under siege at times this year due to such poor clearances. Clark and Young (when in backline) have been solid. Walker improved from last year except just prior to injury was all consumed with lock-down defender due to teams performance. As JL said recently in a presser they have found one in Wagner. I’d agree. Whilst he looked shaky and unsure in his first couple of games he has been crucial to our much improved form since Sydney second half onwards. Our Key defenders (Pearce, Cox) have been inconsistent and gone backwards. Both have played under duress at times (esp. Pearce) and the way we have exited d50 has been stagnant and poor. A couple of poor defensive performances to end the year and I’d agree they slide to D. Also Hughes needs to move back to depth role. Having Chapman back would help a lot, esp. with Young moving into the midfield role.It says that Joel is a development coach - midfield and there are only two assistant coaches, those being Graham (forward line) and Boyd (Backline), so yes it feels like we are one assistant coach short.
