Re: Assistant Coaches
I’m way old and if someone yelled at me like that I’d totally switch off. Would 100% have the opposite effect on me.
Believe or not I’m also not an elite, ultra competitive sportsman. (Hide your shock if you can).Comment

Re: Assistant Coaches
The footage is from the documentary. Making their Mark. I think that was in the Calrton game. It was the COVID 2020 season. They lost the Carlton game 27-60. That is only from memory, so could be wrong. It was a Doco. I enjoyed it. Dew came across OK. The funniest part of Dew was him trying to do an "Everest Challenge" on a stationary bike with Matt Rowell. I think he was on the bike for like 23 hours.Comment

Re: Assistant Coaches
I can tell you playing for sunshine at skinner with the tattooed blokes running around, every second word in a speech was an expletive . If it didn’t get you going the “mad as hatters” blokes I played with had you scared not to go hard ! One of them actually punched on with the opposition dug out after being sent off in a final ! Look it up on YouTube .Bring back the biffComment

Re: Assistant Coaches
I have read the criticism of Dew here and the comments that 'this wont work with players today'...
Um - of course it does. If you do it every day it get's tiresome but:
1/. Coaches shouldn't have to coach effort - when effort is unacceptable, the players need to be told (and directly).
2/. You can't mask over 'effort' issues with technical details. If you're getting smashed around the contest and the technical levers - adding an extra, moving wingers out of their structure to engage wing-on-wing, inside hit-zones, one 'go-to' player etc - then EFFORT must be the problem.
The only caveat I have is if his relationship with the players isn't 'right', then they wont 'listen' (rather they won't care). Players are proud though and they 'KNOW' when the coach is right. Those players were looking at the coach or looking at the ground - they KNEW he was right...they knew they deserved a spray and they knew they needed to actually lift.
That's good vision of a coach being prepared to use all of the tools available too him. What else would you have him do? "So...how did we go that quarter fellas?"...sound of crickets chirping..."It wasn't too good now was it fellas...".What should I tell her? She's going to ask.Comment

Re: Assistant Coaches
What Dew did is fine. Only as long as it's not his one wood.
I've told the story about my old club where the Swans train when in Melbourne, they convinced our boys to stop training to let them have a run for 30 or so minutes. On the way to the car after leaving the boxing gym onsite I passed Dew as he was collecting footies kicked over the fence and suggested that the right thing to do would be to give some of those nice kicked in match balls to our lads. He smiled and said I think I could do that.
Six yellow training balls were handed over at the end of their session.
That doesn't mean he's a good coach/ tactician etc., rather, it just means he's a good bloke who can read the room a bit.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment
