Assistant Coaches

Re: Assistant Coaches

Ability for your input to be heard?

It's becoming kind of clear now to me anyway there's something undesirable about working with Bevo

If so… what has happened to Bevo? I was thinking, watching Craig Macrae, how much he reminded me of Bevo’s first few years and the inclusive, empathy focused approach. I know he has become paranoid re media, but has his working style changed so much?

Re: Assistant Coaches

No surprise really.

There's clearly a stench around Bevo.

Is he too much of a control freak?

He seems tired and burnt out to me.
Emotional leaders work well when things are going ok, conversely it's clear he has really been struggling since covid.
It's pretty clear when we look back at some of his behaviour of late.
He was well behaved this year, however did that dilute the ability for him to go "full Bevo" and work his magic?
It's hard not to think he's got all the hallmarks of someone who's given it everything and has nothing left.
Time will tell.

No idea Chef. You do hear anecdotally he's a stubborn bastard. I remember having that exact conversation with Moz when he was coterie manager.

Ok, anyone in here want to be an assistant at the Western Bulldogs? I'm sure if you submitted your resumes to GVGJr he'd get them to the right people.

Jackson Kornberg is the mail that he will be one of the assistants. If so will be a good get. Highly regarded. Coached Suns to the VFL this year and has coached Sandy Dragons and Development.

So undesirable that a bunch of highly qualified sycophants coached under him for multiple years, and then those that left praised him vehemently?

Talk about Stockholm Syndrome gone wild!

We make an assumption that because we miss an assistant coach that we are looking for anyone with whatever attributes. It's silly, and employing people doesn't work that way.

There's myriad reasons why candidates don't align with positions, it's strange the prevailing thought is we're not as picky as a club as assistant coaches are when it comes down to selecting the right match for a role.

I won't ever know for sure, but I'd wager that we miss as many as who miss us just through a misalignment of attributes, cash, and specifics of the position in question. Just like in the non-AFL world.

Are you saying things stay the same forever?

I think we can draw a clear demarcation line.

BCM and ACM.

Re: Assistant Coaches

He's a solid pick-up by the Dees. I wonder what Melbourne offered to get him across.

Better odds of a Premiership which appears to be important when considering senior coaching appointments. If I wanted to be a senior coach I would be choosing the best chance at team success.

Which is why I still can?t believe we botched post 2021 so badly when it came to assistant coaches.

I reckon 2021 was all poor timing. I think we were blindsided by losing both King and Hansen so late in the piece.

Being blindsided by losing two key senior assistants is poor people management at a minimum. They basically stole Hansen from us late, why didn’t we steal someone of high calibre back?

There was an opportunity for a ambitious 2IC to get the senior gig with a coach who was regarded incredibly highly and with a team that had made the GF.

Well, here we are now, half serious.

AFEL/AAP reporting McQualter expected to be announced as joining Melbourne FC.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Too late to tell Bubba we were only joking about sacking him?

Re: Assistant Coaches

God, our club leaders aren’t looking like either having a plan or executing a plan. I’m sure they survived the review into themselves.
