Sounds like you were there...if not source?

His record is decent but not great. Had the best midfield in the past 20 years and got 1 premiership to show for it.

Under achieved IMO.

(Cue the Brisbane shadow supporters: Our midfield regularly trumped theirs. Except they reaped the rewards of their midfield more than we did)
Great midfield, but missing a bit of talent in defence and a shit forward line. Only reason we got anywhere was Woosha's efforts getting the defence sorted imo.

meh. We won what we should have. I agree best midfield in 20 years. We also had the worst forward line to win a premiership in 20 years as well. Our backline was only average too.

Average backline?

Dont think so. It wasnt the greatest but we kept Sydneys forwards to 12 goals. They had Goodes, Hall OLoughlin Okeefe in there.

I think it was above average.

In any case, the midfield surrounded by Embley, Braun Fletcher and Banfield was top notch.

Underachieved. Even Hagdorn said so...

And yet the media and fans were screaming for Woosha to put Wirra as a loose man in defense. For a year after the 05 GF, everyone was blaying for blood.

But old stubborn Woosha knows best.

Woosha lost us the 05 GF, no loose man in defence, Gardiner on crutches, dropping Lynch.


Woosha as an assistant... do not want. Time to move the hell on.
 
Injuries really cruelled us in late 2005, we did well to get close.


WTF??

We should have led by 5 goals at quarter time but missed easy shots. We were breaking away early last quarter. Worsfold lost the game because he wouldn't adapt when things were going against us.

"my way or the highway" attitude. Well it was the highway that year and he got away with his shit coaching in 2006.

If we had Leigth mathews OR Roos himself I guarantee we would have won back to back. GUARANTEED!!!!!!!

Glad to see the back of him TBH and dont want him as an assistant.

Please John just stay a legend in our history, we will even call the best player each year the John Worsfold medal but keep your coaching to the under 16's. Thanks

Brisbane of 3 peat era had a better mid, back and forward line - by far

WTF :eek:

Better mids than Cox Judd Cousins Kerr Embley Braun Fletcher??

Go back to the history of games between the 2 sides in the early 2000's and you will find we beat them more than they did us. Games are apparently won in the midfield??

They had better forwards and defenders totally but not mids.

So the useless coach worsfold was able to consistently beat the genius Matthews despite having a side with inferior forwards and defenders

Lucky for us they had an average midfield of Voss, Black, Akermanis, Lappin, Ashcroft, Headland and Hart.

Above average by league standards, average for a premiership team though. That was my comparison. I mean Darren Glass is the only star there and Beau Waters is the only other one to make an All Australian team (and that was 6 years later). None of the others came close to All-Australian.

In any case, the midfield surrounded by Embley, Braun Fletcher and Banfield was top notch.

Underachieved. Even Hagdorn said so...

I agree the midfield was ridiculously good.

Using Hagdorn to argue your point is not really helping you :p

Well in a game built on stats the stats dont lie. Go through the games you will find we consistently beat Brisbane with our midfield against theirs. We did it in Brisbane. So I dont get the sarcasm.

I never said Worsfold was useless...maybe don't misquote huh. I even called him a legend but he wasn't the greatest coach tactically speaking was he?

It only took him 5 years to put a spare man in defence...

And I don't remember saying we had inferior defenders either. Someone else said that. I said they had better defenders but ours weren't inferior.

I know we beat Brisbane in the early 2000's - I wasn't disputing that. We also did that without putting a spare man in defence btw.

Yes you didn't say he was useless as coach but you did say he underachieved. Not exactly the same meaning but similar at least. Btw Ross Lyon is 0 from 3 in seasons when his side has made the GF yet is still regarded as one of the best coaches in the league. Putting spare men in the back 50 hasn't won him a flag either

And if they had better defenders, by definition ours were inferior
 
meh. We won what we should have. I agree best midfield in 20 years. We also had the worst forward line to win a premiership in 20 years as well. Our backline was only average too.
Swans team in 2012 had a worse forward line than us IMO. Like us in 2006 they had a shitload of their goals kicked by their midfielders.

Do you have some alert set for whenever someone mentions the midfield?

Seriously, it's getting old.

It's not completely without foundation though. Brad Ebert and Koby Stevens are going pretty well these days. The problem is you put them alongside Priddis and the midfield looks pretty one dimensional - so Woosh didn't play them their and we lost two talented players for very little. This is not really Priddis bashing its more Woosha bashing.

Couldn't agree more with the above. Also the overuse of Seaby in the ruck (7 goals kicked whilst he was rucking) whilst the so called running midfielder Coxy sat on the bench was criminal!

Mind you is Fido had been fit (you would think that he was given his massive dummy spit that cost him the 06 GF) Woosha would probably been a dual premiership coach.

Agreed. He was no less fit than Gardiner who did nothing all day...And I am sure Lynch could have kicked at least 1 or 2 goals which would have won it for us.

But Woosha knew best I guess....:eek:

He made the decision on his own, without input from the match committee or medical staff, did he?

Well the way I remember it. The medical staff said , "look woosh. he can play but he is a bit sore and the match committee said lets play him. Woosh said: "bugger off. He isn't playing. I want his potential last game to be the same as mine was under that prick Malthouse.

Well I said to him Woosh, I said. You cant let that affect your decision here today. And he said piss off smotie. I hate you.

And I said well if that's the way it is going to be then I am going back to Kazakstan!!
