Sacked Podcast - B-MAC
So - who has listened? Who has thoughts?

Sounds like a pretty clinical exit well done by the footy club. Listening to B-Mac again, I just remembered how frustrating it was when he was our coach...lots of great young men who are improving led by a group of great teachers and leaders who are all committed to getting better....
Meanwhile, we win contested ball every week but the game plan (if there is one) is to win it and kick it to the other team...then not worry too much about defending...apparently (according the the podcast) the number of close losses we had was a sign of growth....13 wins in two seasons? Right! Right....
Looks like a coach, sounds like a coach...
Without this decision, the joy that was the 2015 and 2016 seasons would never have occurred.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Just an incomplete vision, better as assistant
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

I asked a Geelong supporting mate about him when he was appointed and his exact quote was "Great NCO but he is not officer class" I knew about the Brisbane thing when he abused some of the players and lost the entire group with one sentence. It's why I turned completely on him. I was never a fan but I wanted to give him a chance (like I would with any bulldog coach) but after I heard about that he lost me completely.
One thing that did shit me though. I was talking to a player once and he happened to say "Pfft. B-Mac never played league footy so why should I listen to him?" I said "well he's been involved in 3 AFL premierships. How many have you been involved in?"
Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?
I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

Re: Sacked Podcast - B-MAC
Will give it a listen. He clearly instilled great characteristics into the players, Mitch Wallis spoke glowingly of the way he did at a private non football even I attended.
It really shows the potential folly of clubs loading up on assistants from dynasty coaching groups.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Yep. Fagan, Ratten, Cameron, Simpson, Hardwick & Bevo making up the numbers from Clarko

Thanks Aza.
I remember my mate was invited into the rooms when he was up in Brisbane and Macca came over to chat with his small son. He also said to my mate, today will be the last time you see Lake at Fullback. Of course Lake wasn't happy with that and this lead to him leaving.

Re: Sacked Podcast - B-MAC
Had a listen, was interesting. Macca seems like no hard feelings, the trouble was he is just not a senior coach.
The three years he was with us the record stands at: 20 wins and 46 losses. Of those we had 31 by 5 goals plus, 20 by 45 plusand 16 by 10 goals plus. Some real thrashings. A very hard period to watch games.
The worst decision by the club was to give him a two year extension, which was to take him to the end of 2016.

If you use this as a template Lake would have never survived under Bevo either because no doubt he would have been swung forward much like Naughton.

I don't agree with that. Lake played back for almost all of his games. Naughton has only played back probably about 18 games, if that as he had a few stints up forward in his first year.

Re: Sacked Podcast - B-MAC
It's a pretty simple formula. The coach is in charge and he gets to tell you what to do and where and how to play. That's his job, your job is to shut up, listen to, understand and carry out his instructions. If you don't want to do that then don't play team sports. Play golf or *!*!*!*!ing tennis or one of the sports where they will put up with players having tantrums because you don't like what you are hearing.

Ok, how about Easton Wood? You get the point that under Bevo many players need to be able to perform in other positions don't you?

I like the principle of what you are saying but I think we've passed that stage now. It works on some, fails on others
