Assistant Coaches

Re: Assistant Coaches

mmmm - 3 days since end of season????

Well the optics so far have us conducting another internal post-season review and looking to appoint another senior assistant to better support the head coach. We literally did exactly the same thing 12 months ago.

There hasn't yet been any discussion as far as I can tell around fitness and conditioning, recruiting, player development, player welfare and other footy dept areas.

If we tinker around the edges and think that is sufficient, we really are going to waste the Bont years. I'm hopeful we do much more than tinker.

Should members including woofers start a petition for an external review? Not sure it would be noticed however feel the majority of members are not happy with another internal review.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Dew is highly regarded, even by Australian cricket team in recent Ashes series. His weight is irrelevant

How do I report a concern? Has someone hacked bornadogs account?

Re: Assistant Coaches

My question on Stuart Dew. It is his weight.

AFL sporting clubs are elite athletic environments where players need to show discipline in all aspects of their life and importantly treat their bodies with respect. In an elite athletic environment do you respect someone who is obese?

If you can't have self control and disclipline in the most important thing in your life, your overall well being and health (without your own health, you can't help yourself, your family or anyone else) then why should I trust you with anything else?

Is that too harsh? Is that fair? Or is that an unreasonable view?

Someone being overweight is not necessarily a discipline issue. There are a million and one other mitigating circumstances that can lead to this. Health concerns and genetics could be the cause of gaining weight. It definitely was in my case; it was never a lack of discipline.

Re: Assistant Coaches

I am onboard with Dew. His got good pedigree as assistant at successful clubs.

I don't care what anyone says, but he was leading the Suns into a better place. He just had crap management around him wanting to justify their jobs.

He can kick, and hopefully teach some of our players to kick.

Maybe he can bring that hard edge to our players ? that tenacity, never want to lose a contest approach.

I believe it's a reference to your previous comments about players weights in a satirical manner.
