Wanna know why footy is garbage to watch?

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 shitshow.

Is "Fourteen" how you spell 15?

 

[Bleeeeeeeeep]

And still no flags, go figure.

 

[David Schwarz]

Look at that piece of s**t Anthony Rock there at number 8 - worst 200 game player alive.

 

[Plugger35]

Reminds me of this.

 

[Mofra]

It was good of Bucks to hire Matty Boyd though so there is some flag experience on the panel.

Dear OP,

I noticed you support a bottom 8 team with no chance of success for the foreseeable future. Is there a correlation between your feelings towards the game and supporting a s**t team?

Best wishes,
Non-minnow Supporter.

WTF is Jack Watts loves hooters option?
Didn't the Bombres have 19 in the box and 3 on the bench last round?
What a joke!

Dear Garbage Tier Poster,

I noticed your obsession with me and my club to the extent you seem incapable of enjoying Bay13 content unrelated to either. Is there a correlation between your feelings and your shittruck provincial club having its B2B dreams destroyed by the Hawks in 2008?

No regards whatsoever,
An infinitely better poster than you.

The old melt/deflection combo.

You're really not taking this new reality very well.

Nice.
Collingwood love those types.

 

[Tom_Thumb]

The thing that stands out to me is that there are **** in the box, that's like taking a banana on a fishing boat.

 

[GuzzLG]

Actually agree.

Ban coaches for a week. Leave it up to the players and watch what happens.

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.

Not sure, they once again failed to keep records

What are you banging on about, OP, I can see no difference between Hawthorn's footy today and

So the Pies are almost at 1 coach per player.

No wonder it’s like Chinese Whipspers down there when Nafan says “DEFEND” and big Cox goes looking for Alex Rance with the intention to “DEEP END”..

It’s become the football equivalent of Design by Committee which explains why the finished product is so bland and insipid. It’s probably also ruining this generation’s most talented players by drilling all the creativity out of them.

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

Bombers have a coach for every player, other clubs so behind us. Pies will only 15, poor minnows. Jack watts hooter loving isn’t a joke , it’s a mental health issue.

 

[chefmeister]

Anthony Rocca now on the coaching gravy train.

No Shiite??

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

 

[chelseacarlton]

Can’t wait for each player to be assigned 3 gaymeday coaches.
“When you get it, kick it”
“When you get it, handball it”
“When you might get it, don’t take possession, knock it towards the boundary”

Congrats
You managed to remind the BAY how s**t Hawthorn are in a non Hawthorn thread, and trigger the OP at the same time.
Brilliant.

They're about as non-competitive around here as their team is on the field nowadays

 

[Pessimistic]

Three team footy?

 

[Ricketz]

Three team footy?

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.
