Wanna know why footy is garbage to watch?

[Art Corvelay]

Blight tried that for 1 game with Geelong back in 1993 and then everyone (media, rival coaches & fans) were up in arms questioning the validity of a coach if the players themselves could simply pick the team they thought was best.

The resulting spectacle was this.



Was an exceptional game of footy from a scoring perspective, but like religion or politics, everyone, no matter how insignificant, wants their paycheck bro.

Didn’t he try it in 89, 92 and 94?

Jack watts hooter loving isn’t a joke , it’s a mental health issue.

Really?
Bulls!hit

Imagine the resistance to change with so many mediocrities like Anthony Rocca now on the coaching gravy train.

I thought Stewy Dew ate the gravy train?

Wow, perhaps it’s a field any of us can get a gig to earn $100,000 per annum then.

Have you considered contacting the Cats? They're lacking a Head of Opposition Analyst Analyzer, along with a Senior Transition Performance Data Administrative Coordination Supervisor. I'm surprised the coaching box functions at all without these vital roles filled.

Key qualifications you'll need:

• Etching a look of concern on your face for 180 straight minutes, brow furrowing mandatory.
• 75 WPM touch typing, as typing anything that fast makes others assume its important.
• Elite cardio vascular capacity for blowing smoke up the head coach's arse.
• Exceptional IT skills for faking systems crashes when you're handballed blame.
• Ownership of a broad smile and a sharp dagger to employ against your fellow analysts.

OR

• A 200 game AFL career, the ability to dress yourself and be mostly sober.

And still no flags, go figure.

I am a huge fan of Nafan “no flags” beard, I just don’t think that the head it’s attached to will ever win a flag.

Probably why we lost.

I take it back, senior coaches are still very much needed to make the big decisions.

That's how you look like you are playing these days, with your forwards and mids not playing for anybody but themselves, so I suppose so.

Theres three different jumpers at least

Incorrect. 13 of 16, there was a draw too.

Who's that in the coaches' box?

Upwards of 25 people support AFL senior coaches on match days. Who are they, and what do they do?

www.afl.com.au

Fifteen people in Collingwood's coaching box. Fifteen.

How could footy not be an excessively-structured, convoluted mess with fifteen people performing the same role that for decades only required four, each desperately struggling to justify their paycheck by exerting as much control over player behavior as possible? Clubs have tried to circumvent the fixed salary cap by outspending their rivals in the coaching box, and the result is a hideous s**tshow.

You could replace those coaches with Mark Neeld and get the same result.

So the Pies are almost at 1 coach per player

How many you got down there at Gumby Park, Friend?

Dunno but the way we’re tearing the league a new one this year we could always teach some more how it’s done.
