AlexRRR Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Well R Shaw must be a closet TV footy member who popped in read my post decided i was on the money and went off and took an extended break from the game just read it in the Age.....Glen Archer woooooops i mean the Age recon he may not be back...so there you are...... Glen has taken over the club by stealth and we know hes a dirty player...recall the the incident where his son was playing footy and he knocked someone on the nose? took forever to go through the courts and all with all the appeals but got off with out a conviction....this is so he could be a board member of a company you know..... Meanwhile Books Swans has dropped the bombshell of there delistings, cant find it now.......but its around.... You got more troubles than you can think of Fj, by the way watching footy on 9 or something a youtube channel it was reported that North were on the verge of signing there life away for 7 games in Tassie.....maybe Glen no like.......maybe Glen will have them playing at the Box Hill Hawks ground and why you Fj become a model WA person and follow a local club like the Eagles or Dockers....lot less heartache you know..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting,would of thought like any job you submit your resume and destiny is in your own hands until the results suggest otherwise. If Shaw was headhunted,which i'm pretty sure he was it would give you full control and thus a shorter career span with his results to date. Otherwise you end up with a Brendon Bolton holding a club and players back for years. Was that a Paul Roos thing introducing forward and back coaches?

What most clubs here had like 8 assitants? dont you watch the half time breaks when the players are in there groups? the assistant isnt there to hand out an orange you know...... And when you apply for a coaches job by the way Shaw was already in there system, they already know how they want to play, the brief might be something like this, we wanna play like the Tigers...so then there looking for a coach that leans towards a Tigers style of play....im sure it gets more indepth than that fella.... Archer has taken over, plain as the nose on your face, he is pushing his will.....and he's pushing Shaw out, jobs for the boys...mark my words....so ex team mates WILL be flooding back in, Archer was a defensive back so that already gives you an idea....work the ball out of the backline al la Tigers....and Pies....And get rid of anyone who can stand up to him, hence the mascare did you notice you have a new CEO etc etc....so olderplayers who crry some weight are torched....pure bloody takeover is how i see it..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i see the assistants jobs to move the whitch's hats???? If you went to Norf training run this year i bet they couldn't even handle two balls in a Star of David handball exercise for more than a minute without dropping one. No wonder 6 coaches have been moved on and maybe a 7th. The last time the Roos tasted success most of the players came through their under 19's team. Line coaches is a load of hogwash if there is no continuity,it's not as if the main coach doesn't have time to talk to the players. And i'm sure the coaches boxes upstairs give you a full ground view. All you need from the assistants is who are winning and losing in there position. I like Archer but Rawlings is the one who will guide the future and hopefully let the coach coach. Edited October 16, 2020 by farmerjo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate just tune into a few Gridion games....thats the future of AFL coaching wise, the head coach is just that, he just overseas the outline of the plan assistants are meant to inplemnt the style, even channel 7 adapted stats chat that later appeared with the clubs well to us the viewer though its more likely the other way around but it did not become meaniful untill C7 stuck it on your screen and this was a direct copy off gridiron, there stat happy over there, they have a stat for everything and i mean everything. A good example is Buckley, try as he might he couldnt get the Pies going so there was a review and they found he needed help, throw in a few extra assitants and taught him how to DELEGATE tasks....and WILL's your uncle. The days of it all being on one persons head has been gone more than 20 years in professional sport, you were just a scrubber backwaters coach for a suburban team who ran raffels and a canteen to pay for the bozzy weekends mate...... And yes i get you over the under 19s, our last hurrah was build off the under 19s also, thats why i was left dumfounded when they scrapped it all, we dont have a good youth system here unlike th eyouth leagues controlled by the parent clubs in soccer or a high octane semi pro college that a lot of Americans prefer to the NFL in the US, i keep going on about it Arrrrrrrrrr.... the people who run the AFL for the last 20 years havent got a clue, hell bent on making them selves inportnat with continued rule changes and league changes, so unstable there looking like a comedy club. Frigging leave it alone it develops itself..... I dont recall Ron Barassi or Allen Jeans walking around with a note pad or a tablet no mate they just use to point fingers.....well Al was a quiter type more concidered when he spoke.... It was looking like a Tiger stampeed from early in the last, Port did settle in the latter part of the last to hold them and thats just about it, Tigers much more dangerous, unfortanlty even i would prefer the Lions to win today id prefer they loose if they make the GF Tigers WILL roll over the top of them....Rather see the Cats pounced on.....Tigers DONT loose to the same team twice in the same season.....And i always thought Hardwick would make a great coach.....to think them nukkle heads at the G over looked him for Needle.... Actualy they should change the terminology of coach to Head Coach as they do in the US Manager in soccer becasue there like CEO's of the coaching and playing staff....

Popular Post sceadugenga Posted October 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2020 Ah well, another season over for most of us here and the teams are set for the 2020 grand final. I lost a little confidence towards the end of Port's season, I thought we got a bit flakey. Hard to criticise Hinkley but I think the opponents worked him out. Sorry Will but I have to go for Richmond next week... (take that, the kiss of death you Tiger ####s), I think Geelong are too inconsistent. I wouldn't mind Dangerfield getting a premiership just to p!ss the Crows off though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cashed in during the last quarter when all of the heat was gone. Let's see how he goes in the GF. Only Neale and a few others stood up. The rest shat the bed. I really don't like the bye but thought it was necessary this year due to the compressed fixtures. I know Port and Brissy finished top 2, but they did have a leg up fixturing wise this year due to the covid issues. Brisbane especially only played probably 2 or 3 times away from Qld. Unless they can get Joe Daniher up and about, I can't see them making top 4 next year. Hope the Cats can get the choccies next week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that one where he took a chest mark and had Parfitt running at him and he decided to play on was a shocker. Assuming the fixtures get back to normal next year, Brisbane will have a tough draw again. I can't see them making top 4 next year TBH. Was watching The First Crack last night and couldn't believe David King said Brisbane didn't get enough from their stars (which was true) but then said Lachie Neale didn't have a big impact. I thought he was BOG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Will27 Posted October 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2020 Article from the Age by Michael Gleeson Free agency a disaster of the AFL's making Jeremy Cameron wanting to go to Geelong is a disaster for the AFL. Worse, it is a disaster of the AFL's making. This is not a coronavirus-hubs-financial Armageddon scale disaster for the AFL, the like of which we have already witnessed this year, but it is a disaster nonetheless. Firstly, Cameron wanting to leave one of the AFL's shiny new clubs pushes the Giants further from premiership contention after a disappointing fall away year this year when they missed the finals. Losing their best player and full-forward makes them a speculative choice at best for next year. But that is not the worst of it. Cameron is the biggest free agent in the market this year. He is a bigger player than fellow free agent Joe Daniher. He wants to leave to go to one of the two best teams of the year, possibly the best team of the year depending on what happens on Saturday night. Geelong will play the grand final against Richmond where Tom Lynch will play at full-forward. Lynch left the league's other expansion club, the Suns, as a free agent and former captain to move to the club that had a year earlier won a flag. The two best teams this year are the recipient clubs of the best, most recent free agents to move clubs. The other player to tell his club this year that he wants out as a free agent, and a player who but for injury is on a Cameron scale of importance and ability, is Daniher. Which club does Daniher want to go to? Preliminary finalist Brisbane. So the two biggest name free agents this year want to go to two of the best four teams. The next best free agent to move clubs went to a recent premier, won a premiership the next year and is now in the grand final again. Three of the best free agents have either already gone or want to go to three of the best four teams in the AFL. And those top teams can afford them in their salary cap. So how is equalisation working out for you? Before Lynch, the last time the best free agent in the country left a club and went to a recent premier the AFL punished the new club and banned them from trading. That was when Buddy Franklin decamped from the Hawks and pulled the old switcheroo on the Giants and landed at the Swans. After that there were recriminations for the Swans and COLA (cost of living allowance) was sacked as the AFL rampaged around, insisting this was not how they wanted free agency to work. But this is exactly how free agency works. The best players do not choose to go to the worst clubs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone will be better than Shaw,i heard J Brown the other night saying a coaches contract is not worth the paper its written on. 6 months severance pay,welcome to the real world i say as seen it happen to many in the industry i worked in. Knights,not sure but is in that long line of coached before list. I also heard Leppitch is leaving the Tigers at end of year. Could do a lot worse than Worsfold but think he is heading home. My preferred option is still Brenton Sanderson,will have to give Glen a call???? On Frawley Alex your a hard man,Roos used him as your centre half forward to base the side around in his early days just to get a score on the board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know B Sanderson, and Knights was a red fish Timmy threw in casue hes in the media to keep the pot boiling, on footy on 9 something like that a youtube footy shaw Ross "chooks friend" Lyon is a panel member and eyes were looking at him in one segment on returning to coaching....so someones been wording him up as he remaind coy about it, though i feel he wouldnt go back to a rebuild...so good chance hes Demon bound if Goodwin dont get off the line fast next season....well one would hope....dreaming, something like that.... As for Frawley well he showed something when he was learning the game, but not reached any real potential untill Paul Roos truned up and still hadn't really done anything when hes contract ran out, Paul did want to keep him but if you search back here i wasnt as optimistic as Paul, Frawley had never been consistant at anything other than maybe one day he WILL do something grand, and history shows he never was your top defender his fantasy stats were shocking he would have average maybe 40 in his entire career at the Hawks, just a handy stopper on 600,000 a season... By the way Roos putting the spud froward was becaue we were totaly devoid of anything that looked like they could kick a goal, Hogan was still in the nursery at that stage, and since you mentioned Hogan Demons would be lame stupid for not entertaining the idea in bringing the guy back, we could now get him for a second round pick, and @ 25 and we know him, sure hes played up but the guy had some hard times and lets face it he was better off in Melbourne than back home with his drop dead stupid mates, im pretty sure he's "seen the light" his manager would have had a word to the boy and said his 8 to 900.000 is in jeopardy and is on the road to play for Subiaco reserves for a 3/4 orange so expect the guy to pick it up, i did watch he in a few late season Freo games and i liked what i saw....sure hes had a few injuries too....but no one is canning big Joe so leave Jesse alone, anyone who gets him next up should expect a rejuvinated machine.....and in my mind probley the best the froward going around up for trade maybe except for Cameron.... Dont know J brown and like i banged on here about coaches contracts only the Special one "Jose" knows how to make an air tight one, most are falling all over them selves to get a deal to coach in the AFL that they would sign anything so theres plenty of holes in em, head on that youtupe show Goodwin WILL be out the door even with a year left on his contract if Dee's dont make the finals ( or look like it) hence the Lyon speculation..... And furthermore now that North are advocating a total rebuild that WILL take at least 4 years anyone who takes the coaching job would know there destined for a bullet, i cant think of any AFL club in rebuild mode where they stuck with that coach so that pot isnt so full mate.....and on job sercurity you wanna work in building....

I see they likend Norths culling to a similar model done by Fagan at the Lions. I guess there's two ways to interperate a rebuild,one being at the draft and getting games under the belt or through trades. Personally i like the trade way like St Kilda are doing but you have to be carefull either way as there's only a dozen good trades a year and we fell into the trap getting Josh Walker who will only ever be B grade at his best. The draft has it's own consequences keeping players on the books hoping maybe one day they will shine and Bigger bodies do win finals. North's first step will be to have a full squad to choose from,for far to many years weve kept guys on the list who just don't play. I would seriously look at moving anyone on who gets a long term injury straight away. Most got moved on this year but i see we still kept your Tyson????and weve got another Walker,Hayden,Garner and Turner who should have got the axe. Will can confirm but i'm sure the Eagles went from 2nd last to the pointy end in one season a few years back. So i'm looking at the glass half full,if we can get a decent coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
