the duck

[nastytiger]

Something im surprised there isn't a thread on already!

With the duck openly saying he is interested in a part time coaching role, our young forwards and our need to develop a CHF, would anyone have a problem with Post, Vickers and Griff learning from the one of the games best CHF?

I understand he has his issues but surely this is an opportunity of a life time for our young key forwards.

Thoughts?

I imagine Miller would be a bit nervous with the duck being around

Why do people automatically think that superstars have some special secrets they can pass on?

Sign him as a player and let him sit in the goalsquare

 

[Wallaby]

Zero coaching experience.

Not the greatest team man.

Hasn't been around an AFL club for 5-6 years.

So why?

Maybe he does maybe he doesn't, you never know. But the truth is he is the best CHF the games seen! Maybe just maybe he might know something about playing the hardest position on the ground.

Maybe having the duck there might help then again maybe he wont

All i know is if the duck came down to my club i would sit and listen and pick his brain about everything and maybe if im lucky learn a thing or two

Despite the fact we see them in the media offering nothing of value.

People would have been jumping up and down over Archer being at the club before seeing him try and talk about the game on television.

Maybe he does maybe he doesn't, you never know. But the truth is he is the best CHF the games seen! Maybe just maybe he might know something about playing the hardest position on the ground.

Collingwood are the only club who could afford to pay the money he would demand on the premises of 'maybe'. They paid alot of moolah to find out the answer. Getting better value from blokes like Watters and Neeld.

Royce Hart is a better CHF than Carey

 

[darcytiger]

I would of thought Nick Daffy would be better off teaching blokes like Nahas and Morton the trade rather than Riewoldt and co.

Would be a good addition the coaching panel, throw the laundry and powder room sink at him I say

Offer him a job.

we all see the need to develop a CHF just asking why not get someone that has made that position his own to help rush it a little bit

 

[the ranger]

will spew if happens

 

[hagansbull]

Thought it was Daffy. No to Carey, more to suited to StKilda culture

 

[delediofan3]

Who is 'the duck'??

 

[Infamy]

Superstars of the game got that way mostly through natural talent, not busting their ass to make it and be the best they can be, so they aren't always the best people to teach others their tricks.

 

[captain blood 17]

As much as i think he would bring great knowledge to the club, i think the circus and his "personal" habits would bring to much negative media attention.

 

[THE_GUN]

Hardwick

Lade , Campbell , Leppitsch , Daly

Carey , Just cant see him fitting in with the other coaches to be honest

i dont mind the idea (a part time) i am sure he could pass on plenty about leading patterns, forward structure and of course 1 on 1 body work.
by the way royce was better

I just dont think he fits in well with our culture either.

Having said that, a legend of the game.

 

[Bazzar]

Those who dont want him because of a lack of coaching experience and his personal baggage appear to be happy to get Cuz who also has a lack of coaching experience and has personal baggage.

 

[Infamy]

Cousin's indiscretions were mostly only harming himself, not his team mates

Can't really say the same for Carey who tore the Kangaroos team apart with what he did and has subsequently had the same drug issues as Cousin's on top of it all

CHF of the century - Royce Hart.

You are under 30 I would guess. I remember watching Royce playing with one knee buggered turning 2-3 opponents inside out time after time. He was amazing, especially before his knee was stuffed. When they had top pick the CHF of the century there was only one choice!

 

[TIGER DAVE]

no ....great player crap person

Very funny and very true. Could you imagine all the boys too afraid to introduce their forward line coach to their wives and girlfriends at jumper presentation night.

Wish I saw some of those days. I was taken to the football at a very young age and have very young images of legends of that era at the end of their playing career.

Can you confirm something for me, Dr Tigris

Did Royce ever play in the reserves in his very final years. I think I remember Royce in the reserves game before the main game with supporters around me commenting how immobile he had become.
