Experienced Senior Assistant Coach to help Bevo - Who?

[F'scary]

So who do you have a problem with? Bmac? I can't think of any coaches without AFL experience aside from him

as to Bmac: I understand his nickname was "the Hair Dryer." Maybe shouting at players was a compensating strategy? Let's ask Liam Jones when he signs on

[F'scary]

Fair enough. The idea that the coach have experience playing at the same level of the game as the players is not exactly revolutionary and is so common I don't know if there's much evidence either way to refute or confirm the idea. Maybe in other sports.

I was just saying I was happy with the Lade appointment because he was well credentialled as a player. Also, he now has substantial assistant coaching experience, which adds to my feelings of satisfaction with the club's choice.

Bolton and Brittain spring to mind as well

AFL is a pretty conservative league. Plenty of leagues that are huge overseas that have coaches who have not played at the highest leave. We are pretty reductive about it.

I think it's a bit of a cycle. I don't agree with your views but perhaps many players do. Like IF you are being ignorant but enough players share the same view (i.e you gotta play AFL for me to listen), then I guess being wrong is right.

Viva diversity.

Is there any chance/talk we are going to get a goal kicking coach and/or fwd line coach as well ?

Just asking, as I would like to see some improvement in these areas

Spanger is the current forward line coach

They might be able to bring in a part time goal kicking coach providing there are some coaches who can teach it.

Yes, 100%.

Great for culture Joel's esteem jump 10 fold for me in his last two weeks of football.

I've always had an issue with someone who openly hates people unless he knows them, which is the attitude Scarlett reputedly has.

But it may be that he's not a *!*!*!*!wit anymore, however, not sure he'll want to come to us after what happened with BMac....?

Shouldn't be issue. Scarlett is a realist, it was a long time ago, not sure how emotionally connected he is / was with Bmac and we'll pay in real money!

Players and coaches understand that things move on quickly and with some limited options if you don't want to move interstate then you won't hold grudges.

I wonder or Tory Dickson has any coaching ambitions and if he has the skills to teach a few of our boys how to improve their set shot goal kicking accuracy? A 10% improvement in accuracy from Naughton, Marra and Weightman would be huge for the club.

GWS have signed Ben Hart and in talks with Brett Montgomery (who some have floated to return here).

Apparently we beat out GWS for Lade's signature (Kingsley a former teammate of Lade and Monty).

Matthew Scarlett has joined Barwon Heads as an assistant coach for those who were keen on bringing him back to the dogs.
