Opinion Speculation over - Eade Coach

[Bazza37]

Any word about the assistant coaches.
Are they being kept or shafted ??

 

[Ben Drever]

Was about to blame Matty Lloyd.. Then I read the article again and he did say Harvey would be replacing Goodwin.. Not Goodwin on the way out.. My writing skills suck
Should of probably remembered Goodwin went to Melbourne.

New coach would make that decision, whether he keeps the current crop or brings his own crew along.

Can see the rationale behind that.

 

[Ben Drever]

There's a line down the bottom of the article..
Ashcroft said he was unsure if the club would ever return to altitude training
"It's hard to say, we don't know yet what the new coach thinks about it"

He usually is pretty accurate with his speaking.. Yet he said..

"don't know yet what the new coach thinks.."

If we didn't have a coach.. He would of said..

"When we get a new coach we'll talk about it and make a decision for the future"

So there is a new coach.. ???You just haven't asked him about altitude training????

Or am I reading to much into it

I think that's being a bit particular, Ben. Don't stare at things so closely!

 

[SUNS]

I wonder whose decision it was to pull the pin on it?

Ashcroft? Blight? The board?

Most of the Coaching staff, I would imagine. Seems like the right move though. Hope our fitness doesn't drop as a result though.

 

[Ben Drever]

Likeeeee every time I hear about improving our skills.. Because we're hopeless..
Glad they've finally relised we are our own worst enemy!!
The Suns only Weakness is themselfs
4217 REPRESENT!

The players probably had a fair say in it too. They would know, along with the coaching fitness staff really how beneficial it's been.

They could feel their fitness is ok, but they would gain more from being at home and working on the mental and skills side of things.

I spoke to Campbell last year about last year - He said the hardest training he has ever done was the boot camp that the boys were put through on the Sunny Coast prior to 2011 season. It was run by some strict army dude. Could be worth putting them through something like that again.

^ Not to mention cheaper

Yep , lives at Currumbin creek , supports local footy , always at Salk oval meeting kids. Would have huge respect of the playing group.

Just pester him 24/7 throw money at him...

Voss didn't want to coach.. Was happy in media...
Then bang " ken Hinkley rings him" sends him a empty bank cheque
Deal done!!

Let's start a "Get Browny to the Suns" petition thingy!!

 

[Bazza37]

Suns don't need altitude training.
Is this latest move designed to give the new coach more time or
the Coaching selection sub committee more time ?

 

[Cochblocked]

I just hope they have a good preseason planned out and aren't waiting for the new coach especially if he doesn't come for a few weeks.

Here clutch these Ben Drever

You lot are so bloody impatient. Thought I was bad. Let them get it right.

Actually I think it's great that they are taking their time over it.

I mean the same people available and/or those the club are interested in are still around.

There isn't anyone to coach / train atm anyway.

They are more likely to make the right decision for the club if the due diligence is done properly rather than a knee-jerk reaction just to appease the impatient pen friends.


Oh, and it's given this thread the opportunity to pass the 100 page mark

We're just passionate supporters / gossip mongers. It's all good.

 

[jackenny]

I don think I could take GC being in three grannies and not win even one of them.

So mean.

It's amazing the bloke has a higher winning percentage than John Longmire and Alastair Clarkson. Just can't get a break in time for the big dance.

 

[FavoriteSun]

Being in the states I really enjoyed the idea of having the boys come over here, get away from the spotlight for a bit and just work on their football.

That said I think we all know the fitness is there, but the skills could use work. let's hope this works out for us. Hell for heat training you don't need to go to dubai...two hours north of Carrara should work at some random oval!

Ben,
Bomber is a non believer of this high altitude pre season training gigs.!!!!!
Bomber feels there is more value in boot camps in Australia, without going to the expense of these USA trips.
Ummh!!

Should parachute the boys into the middle of the NT/WA border and told to make it to Darwin with no supplies in 4 days.
