Assistant Coaches

Re: Assistant Coaches

David Wheadon was a specialist goal kicking coach at St.Kilda this season.

I get what you are saying but I am not into writing things off because no one else does it. I think it's no chance under Bevo as he seems to think concentrating on it puts it into your head and makes things worse. I think it's something that should be player by player rather than having a specialist coach or basically not working on it at all.

Getting someone like Wheadon could be worth a shot. If a goal kicking specialist coach can help a few of our guys improve just a bit we re well ahead of this year. Naughton, Ugle-Hagan, Weightman, Darcy and Croft could all benefit with some specialist coaching.

Sav turned Casboult from a woeful shot at goal to am above-average shot.
There are actually a few clubs that employ them.

Are there?

Serious question, I thought they were gone the way of the Dodo from people I know in vfl setups including one of my good mates.

Sav was eons ago.

I think it's a no brainier to have a specialist, I don't get why they don't.

Re: Assistant Coaches

When YeahNa the current Saints coach was in the media a while ago, and the Collinwood coaching job was up for grabs, he was asked on the radio, theoretically, if he became a senior coach next week, what would he do first.

He pointed to the number of good teams losing by a goal or less, and said he'd hire a goal kicking coach.

Pretty sure my Saints supporting nephew went to the finals last weekend while I went for a bike ride.

Also Melbourne employed a goal kicking coach this year as well. I recall Goodwin on an interview saying it?s a game of percentages and he was looking for one percent here and there.

Well we will never know as they could have been even worse without one.

JUH is the one that needs it the most. His routine is all over the place when he should be a lovely kick. Weightman is usually a good kick at goal, don't think he needs much work.

Naughton isn't pretty to look at but he's actually fairly consistent and mechanical, I'm not sure he has much improvement in him. If he can sit around the average level I would be happy enough.

Marra is the one for me. Just having his routine be so inconsistent...what's happening there? It feels like it isn't spoken about it.

Bevo has made reference to focusing on it too much meaning it becomes a bigger problem and I get that. Dees have focused on it and look at last week.

First of all, what do I know? But if we get past that, I really up for case by case approach to goal kicking. No set specialist coach working with a group but also focus on it when an individual/individuals could do with it.

There was a bit of a deal made in the media when he kicked the ball laces facing inwards a couple times
