Mega Thread The Next AFC Coach?

[bjn1960]

That's exactly what I've been saying to my mates

The only way I would consider trading Danger would be for Pick 4, Aish and Broomhead - because that's his true value IMO.

Collingwood could manufacture that by giving Brisbane Beams and their second rounder IMO

Anything less would be under his true worth.

Don't the Crows deserve better than his true worth? Danger is a highly required Crow, and if another club wants us to trade him, then shouldn't our club expect a trade offer that is superior or vastly superior to his true worth, for our club to entertained such a trade?

Noble smashing into Rucci

AFC and Rucci: not even playing the same game

 

[SpeciousArgument]

You're doing it wrong. I've never been able to reply to Ford when he infracts me.

I always have to create new conversations to abuse the mod that cards me.

 

[Glenno23]

How so?

Roo mentioned that he was tradeable only about 3 weeks ago.

Roo TOLD the media he was tradebale.... doesn't mean he is

Roo and Danger probably having a laugh about it behind the media's back.....

Possibly true, but this is where all the speculation has come from. Neither you nor I know the validity of Roo's statements to the media.

Bomber back on the cards?
Ex premiership coach. Does it fit the if this coach can make the 8 Bomber could make the top 4 and all that?

There's a bigger issue than getting his worth or more as far as I am concerned. We cant afford another high profile Crow to go, the feeling among other clubs and the AFL community in general is that we will train them up then other clubs can take them at their peak ... Davis, Gunston, Tippett.

The club need to show a bit of loyalty too. Anyone else can be trade bait, but I think when it comes to Dangerfield, Sloane and Walker we should put the sign up "UNTRADEABLE" ..... until factors out of the club's control come into play of course.

Hopefully by the time those factors come into play we are a genuine premiership contender and there is not a great incentive to leave.

Gunston had potential at Adelaide, but he is a much much better player now than when he left.

Talk of selective quoting!

K cornes thinks Walsh has what it takes to be a senior coach & similar to Hinkley in many ways. Rates him highly & would be a huge loss to pafc.

What a current player says in praise of one of his current assistant coaches is hardly surprising. But what he says even as a mild criticism of such a person is very surprising and of great interest.

Deliberately selective quoting by me, actually. We could run off a list of Sando's strengths, but it is his weakest side that defines the limit of what he gets out of the team. Walsh's weakest side needs to be scrutinised closely by the panel.

Motivation is perhaps in the top 2 of all things that a head coach needs to do. Experienced head coaches often speak about how it is in the end between the ears where the greatest difference exists between professional teams operating under an equalisation draft system. Take the grand final as an obvious and recent example. That game was not a reflection of ability or desire or preparation.

I hope we arent picking a coach who is outstanding in 1 area and lacking in other key areas. we need a well rounded head coach, not just the opposite of the last one.

edit: spelling

My point exactly, thanks.

 

[GROTTO]

Our problem is that we should have let him go to the draft and get traded by the Saints or Bullies. I wonder how good he would have been then.

You put a fit Tom Lynch at the Hawks with elite delivery and I am sure he would look pretty good too.

 

[Bosley]

He only debuted in 2010, left after 2011 and was unlucky not to win the Norm Smith last year. Pretty much played his whole career at his peak

It's more of a case of jurno's grabbing on to one line and not putting Roo's comment in total context of the entire interview

Can't blame the media for that. Roo shouldn't have said that. Simple as that. Doesn't give the impression of a strong club.

Let me make one thing clear. I don't want to trade Dangerfield. You don't get players like that very often, if at all.

What I've stated as his true worth is the bare minimum that I would accept if I felt that he was going to leave at the end of next year. True worth in the sense of what one can actually get in the market place - at a minimum.

No thanks.

 

[GROTTO]

Correct and given what Roo said, the media had every right to believe that Danger was on the trade table.

It was only till recently the Club have been strong in saying he is off the table.

 

[Sanders]

One day, you should let us know what was said in your interview that made you think the club was broke.

In any event, not sure it matters. Revenues will increase exponentially once the club is a magnet for success again.

Huh? O_O

@kanemcgoodwin has written extensively on our financial situation. Can't afford Burgess etc

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

No thanks.

I think I'm with you on this one Jen

 

[jenny61_99]

Don't we have a benefactor now? And who the **** is kanemcgoodwin when he's at home?

 

[Sanders]

Club is like a vice on all info incl trades

It was like a vice last year too. Was so tight on its trade info the other clubs had no idea either

 

[DJ75]

Huh? O_O

@kanemcgoodwin has written extensively on our financial situation. Can't afford Burgess etc

But best chum Triggy left us in such a good place fiscally. Rowey said so. It was the one great legacy he left the club.
Oh other than a few train wrecks that is...

Ex-f*cking-actly. Kerrist. So much bullsh*t all over trying to read something into what Roo said, when he actually said the opposite, and it ALL came about because the journo stopped a question mid-stream and then asked a different one. Prior to this question, Danger being traded hadn't been raised at all in the interview, it was all about would Danger stay.
Then we got this exchange:

Journo: "You're confident he will be... there's no chance he could be potentially traded?"
Roo: "I didn't say there'd be no chance, and I didn't say we'd trade him. What I said was we have to get everything right so that it's a fair call to ask him to stay long term"

And somehow "I didn't say we'd trade him" became ROO SAYS WE'RE GOING TO TRADE DANGER!!!!!!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Correct and given what Roo said, the media had every right to believe that Danger was on the trade table.

It was only till recently the Club have been strong in saying he is off the table.

Afc & danger have been consistent with their message - just many choosing not to listen!

You serious??

And doesn't that apply to most players at most clubs only 2 years into their career??

Blind Freddy himself could see Gunston had all the tools and ability to be a top notcher. I'm absolutely convinced he would have had the very same trajectory had he remained a Crow, nothing wrong with the AFC's record at developing KPP, if they've got it we get it out of them.
