Coach Welcome to Port Adelaide Luke Webster - Defence Coach

[Doctor Feel]

Not inspiring but atleast he actually has experience and has been at multiple clubs. Low bar but far far better than internal promotion of our shitters with no experience but here.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

I don’t give a shit about the West Coast connection.

I’d rather a new voice from West Coast than another internal promotion or a voice that’s already been there 10+ years.

 

[240volt]

Ah yes, outstanding people of good character ...what about building winning football programs?

This is a good human club.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Good luck Luke, I’m sure you’ll get more out of our forwards than chad.

 

[240volt]

Who?

Not quite Nathan Buckley innit

Was never going to happen.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Imagine thinking Buckley was a legitimate option

Who thought he was a legitimate option?

Do you not get sarcasm TasmaniaD

 

[Sewer de Lance]

It’s a new era under Carr, if he thinks Webster is a good choice, then I’m backing him in.

Posters did mention we should try and get him.
And there’s always a wish we could get Buckley.
Basically anyone who’s good, reality is more likely someone who’s been moved on or local El Cheapo.

And the reality is if it was Nathan Buckley or Nobody Nelson you like everyone else here would have NFI if they are any good or not.

 

[Lefti93]

Will he take the forwards or the defence?

 

[rumoursofwinter]

He said, 'passionate supporter base', so that is a bonus.

He has a lot of experience.

Carr rates him.

I think players who were injured alot have the time and need to think more about the game.

Its an external appointment.

 

[Papa G]

Its pretty clear Carr has targeted him from a long way out.

 

[Us against the rest]

If he's good enough for Carr to want on his team he's good enough for me.

Welcome and good luck Luke.

Comes down to this, does Carr trust him to implement the strategies and play style to the lines he'll be coaching whilst also being great at doing so with the players and not just playing games or joking around.

No knock on Chad Cornes but he IMO became stagnant as did Ken overall. It's not just about coaching the players one thing or one strategy. It's about coaching them multiple scenarios and plays styles whilst also coaching them to be leaders at all levels as a team collectively and independently.

Hopefully it is the right choice and I'll back Carr in and Webster to do their jobs.

I assume defence if Goldsack is moving to forwards

 

[dav3]

Development coach at Carlton from 2013 to 2015 as well as their VFL associate club Northern Blues senior coach where he took them to 9th, 11th and 14th placed finishes

Had been a development coach at the Eagles since October 2015

The Eagles did OK in 2018......

 

[all seeing eye]

Has a fair cv over a number of areas, so at least he brings a fresh external voice.

 

[cmpower]

Not overly inspiring, but he was development coach at a flag winning team.

He’s played with Carr, so if he’s given it the green light then I’m happy.

Fresh eyes, fresh voice.

 

[tribey]

Relieved the club is backing Carr by greenlighting guys he trusts and wants here, more than anything.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

He is not bald, so that’s promising.

If Chad and Ken solicited Jordy's help to devise a forward strategy, clearly they have no ****ing clue. Welcome Luke.

[Peninsula Boy]

I'm happy to give Webster a good run at it.

He seems to have been hand picked by Carr so they must work well together.

 

[Chewy316]

A good start. 1 down, 2 to go.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

A good start. 1 down, 2 to go.

Great news. 2 more to come. Things are taking shape.
