Re: Goalkicking

I really miss "Dead Eye Dickson."

I genuinely wonder if they have sought him out in the past few years to come in and run some sessions

Re: Goalkicking

He should be the "go to" man. Madness if he hasn't been approached

Re: Goalkicking

Being a great set shot for goal he may not be able to convey his technique to others.
Tory may have been ask and declined.
I always thought Gilbee would have been the one.

Re: Goalkicking

Lots of players have gone through patches of spraying them. Marra will get there. He's doing the hard stuff - getting the shots. Once he dials in, he's going to rip a few games apart. Hopefully that happens this season. He's a big name in the game already but he has the opportunity to really elevate himself with a few big hauls in the balance of the year (hopefully in the finals!)

One of the best sharp shooters ever may be on the coaching market next year and his daughter happens to love the Bont.

Get Tommy Hawkins as forward coach in 2025.

Whatever Gilbee had I doubt it could be taught, he was a natural.

I think we are underselling Brad Johnson here. He has put years of work into his goal kicking coaching techniques before putting them into practice this season. The jury is still out as to whether it has helped but it's got to be a better chance of succeeding that bringing an old player down that used to be a good kick to say do what I do.

You want to get rid of 2024 Premiership forward line coach Matt Spangher?

Seriously though the forward line is finally functioning well, he has to deserve at least some of the credit for that.

No way Hawkins comes straight in as a line coach, he'd have to start as a development coach.

Might be the same issue as Selwood where he (supposedly) wants senior coach wages for the role and goes off somewhere else to be a 'leadership specialist' or whatever he's doing now

I don?t know anything about Hawk besides his ability to kick set shot goals (and give them away to teammates) is as good as we?ve seen in recent times. Having some intel on the Cats is also pretty valuable.

If he?s on the market next year, I hope we have a chat.

Why would Selwood pivot to coaching when he is doing such an incredible job commentating on Ch 7 - he's just a natural fit on that network, what with his ability to provide absolutely zero insights into what is happening on the ground, and articulating his 'insights' incoherently and in semi-approximation to the English language

True I suppose it's harder to stay in that gig if you're a coach at an AFL club.

Who?s more eloquent? Selwood or Jobe ?better to die wondering? Watson?

I think Dermie's electro-magnetic examination of the minutiae of the game, his ability to read a player's mind, to lay out a player's thought processes on the sterile block of the forensic examination table is next level eloquent.

He gets even more intense when he's commentating with a non ex-player. I wish I enjoyed anything as much as Dermie enjoys his own voice.
