Re: Senior Assist Coach Options
It's an interesting observation if correct. In the year we won the flag there was apparently some friction among the coaches as you suggest but the following two years we lacked a bit of discipline withing the playing group.
Perhaps sometimes challenging the status quo can be a positive.Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

Re: Senior Assist Coach Options
Forget hit outs and work around the ground I'm talking about repeat stoppages. English was ineffective in a contested sutuation at the stoppage and that's where we were killed. JT is miles better at throwing his weight around and protecting his mids / making opposition clearances a more difficult prospect.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but we needed harder bodies at the contest and unfortunately we didn't play JT because we underestimated GWS pressure. Obviously Dicko, Wally and Libby are all injured.But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.Comment

Re: Senior Assist Coach Options
I actually would have liked to have played English forward and JT in the ruck as soon as we realised we were getting smashed there (midway thought the first?) Unfortunately we just didn't have that option.
As soon as English went forward we started to turn the tide. We just needed JT in there rather than relying on our mids in the ruck.But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.Comment

Re: Senior Assist Coach Options
A few posters think we are lacking that harder edge within our assistant coaching ranks. I also agree with this assessment.
A Yang to Bevo's Yin if you like. This role has been missing since Montgomery departed.
Now the option I am about to suggest will be a very very very unpopular suggestion but I figure i'll suggest it anyway.
Brendan Goddard has been out of the game for one year. I listen to him on RSN radio a couple of times a week and on ABC radio. For the first few weeks I didn't like him mainly because of his on field antics.
However once I put my biases aside I am very impressed with his analysis and understanding of today's game, he also is a student of the game.
Clearly he is a driven individual and demands 100% of his teammates / players -However he probably needs to work on how he delivers his messages.
Now I have no idea if he wants to head down the assistant coaching path but for mine he'd be well worth a conversation with.More of an In Bruges guy?Comment

Re: Senior Assist Coach Options
I don't mind the suggestion Aza but even if Goddard is on a coaching path I think it's more about having a strong 2IC alongside of Bevo
I was told a few weeks back to expect 2 changes to our coaching team but nothing has eventuated so far.
I think Goddard has some very good credentials to be an assistant coachWestern Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment
