Woosha

[Monkey Worshipper]

Sorry old chap, your time is up and you are out of your depth.

Understand you believe the club won't cop this and you have learnt some valuable lessons to take in the off-season.

That's not good enough John. A whole season is sitting on your hands and waiting for the next pre-season. It's not secret you don't adept to change and you can't make gut calls in the heat off the battle, it's what all your courses were about a few years back, for the board to try to help you.

I have the upmost respect for you... please resign before it gets ugly.


On the flipside, I'd like Lingy is as Coach. Hopefully takes him a few years to find his feet, which would give us an opportunity with a few years of low picks and in turn really overturning this list.

I refuse to believe our players are as shit as they have displayed this year.

if woosha stays, what we need is a game day coach. a tactition who's creative and flexible to make changes when needed, someone who actually has a plan B, C & D.

You want Ling as head coach?

So what would Wooshas role be if he doesnt do that? I dont understand why you'd need to have other guys be the coach for you but still be called head coach? If he cant come up with the plans needed to take the club to the Premiership he needs to move on.

If you think our players are better than they've shown, why should we be resigned to a few years of low picks?

Surely, if you want to bring in a new coach, the brief would be to improve our performances rather than stay in the bottom half.

the sheer arrogance in his presser shows hes needs to go. he thinks he can fix the squad?

youre done worsfold. thanks for the 42% winning percentage since 2008. and the flag by less than a point.

The players are better than they have shown...

But we'll have another "Dad's Army" Exodus next year.

And if Ling was appointed, a couple of years down the bottom is reflective of him having no coaching experience.

He's had many years to fix this squad. He has backed them in... drafting only the minimum 3 players a draft, year on year. He said this team would be pushing for a premiership.

All of a sudden you say the squad isn't good enough... the squad you backed in year after year.

Just resign buddy.

Oh ffs you're plan is to replace worsfold with a coach with zero experience

The last two head coaches that were appointed without being an assistant were voss and hird. One of those has just been sacked and the other has been banned for a year

Please stay away from our coaching appointments

Since 2010 Brad Scott has a better record, 44/88. I know I'd swap our performances in that time for Norths.....

Edit: poorly worded, but just pointing out that overall winning % can be a bit deceptive.

the percentage just shows how badly worsfold has been beside in 2011-12. serious questions needs to be asked. i will never accept mediocrity at this club and when the club does the day ill wait until they change their ways

 

[DivideandMultiply]

The board should be in Roos ear ASAP.

If there is even a chance they do not reinstate Woosha, there should be massive offers being tables to Roos agent as we speak.

Likewise at a senior assistant, say Voss.

The hype surrounding Roos has way outstripped the coach. No knock on Roos, but even if he were the greatest coach that ever lived, he still wouldn't be half the coach that this year's hype is making him out to be.

But he is by far the best available for a head coaching gig.

Hype is irrelevant to this fact.

Well if you take out all our good years then of course his % is going to be bad...

Look I'm no longer completely opposed to a change but it's annoying how people completely turn on Woosha as soon as we hit a bad spot. Under Woosha we have made the finals 8/12 times, won a premiership and won a grand final. That is absolutely a good coaching record and deserves to be judged as such.

His overall winning percentage doesn't look as good as it might because in the seasons we have missed the finals we have finished really low. This is an interesting trend - our highest finish outside the 8 is 11th. The others were 13th, 16th and 15th. Interested to hear peoples interpretations of this?

Also here is our 22 as named:
Which I have colour coded because after horrible losses I like to make excessively long threads no one reads.

Black: Solid best 22.
Blue: Borderline (either lack of talent or early in development)
Red: Spuds that shouldn't be playing (either because they are past their primes or because they just suck)

I suspect others would have a few more in red and blue as well. For instance if Eagle87 was doing this I suspect Priddis would be a red so bright it would burn with the power of 1000 suns.

Foll: Cox, Selwood, Priddis

B: Brown Glass McGinnity
HB: Butler Mackenzie Smith
C: Masten Wellingham Rosa
HF: Embley Kennedy Wilson
FF Cripps Tunbridge Hill

Int: Dalziell, Lycett, Gaff Sub: Selwood

So anyway my point is this just isn't a great team. It shouldn't have played THAT badly but it really isn't any good. In particular it has no one in the back half that can provide any drive and it has no speed through the midfield. Then you look at our forward line (our supposed strength) and there's basically one guy to kick to.

TL;DR: It's ok if you want a good coach but don't kid yourself that Woosh has a bad record.
The team we put on the park tonight was horrible and was always going to stuggle (though it should have played better.)

He took the 2010 wooden spooners to consecutive top 5 finishes. That's after turning a barely top eight side(2002-2004) to a premiership contender. People say that Judd, Cox, Kerr and Cousins made that premiership a given, but even with those four and others doing their best, West Coast still didn't win a final until 2005.

All of that doesn't mean that he's the coach we need going forward, but give him the respect he deserves.

The Triple M crew were going on about this during the Collingwood match last week, mainly Lyon actually, but he/they were pointing out when we finish low, it's low, and we have an "ability" to recover quickly afterwards. However, he lost me when he talked about our improvement post Judge, as if those results were due to something other than a terrible coach and a pretty ordinary list. Still though, if you were so inclined to have a particular theory regarding our efforts that needed evidence, this would prove pretty handy.

That's horseshit. If it's so cut and dried, surely you have a better argument than his 'arrogance'.

We won by "less than a point"? How does that work?

Why is the margin relevant? How much do you need to win by for it to count?

roos and sumich. my two candidates.

So basically Sumich. Reports suggest that if Roos returns to coaching, it's going to be for ridiculous money in Melbourne.

Why do you think Sumich would be an improvement on Worsfold?

But if you think the squad is better than its performance this season, shouldn't the aim be to improve performance?

Replacing the coach to bottom out doesn't make much sense.

Would you support WC paying Roos $1.5 million per year, making him easily the best-paid coach in the league?

What has Voss done to get you excited?

 

[Double the Fist]

You want Ling as head coach?

Any little bit of Geelong we could 'inject' (sorry) into out team is aaaaaokay with me buddy!

Yes.

Voss, despite one false dawn has overseen the rebuild of Brisbane. They have a tough, competitive midfield unit that plays with aggression.

Likewise, he was an inspirational on field leader and I have read positive things about him from Brisbane players discussing his ability to motivate and develop the young guys on the list. Plus he understands what a head coach wants of his senior assistants.

"Woosha says he can rebuild the eagles"... What a load of shit. He shouldn't HAVE to rebuild the eagles ffs.

Last week he said that we'll come out firing after the past fortnights performances and what did we dish up? A steamrolling by adelaide, which is not good opposition mind you, and avoiding our worst score ever at subiaco AGAIN, by 2 points.... Seriously, GTFO Worsfold i'm sick of your shit.
