Assistant Coaches

Re: Assistant Coaches

Yep. We turned a bad situation (the loss of a local boy we had let a decent player go to get the draft pick for) into a great outcome.

It was shit at the time, and is still shit. Worked out well though.

Look at Charles Dickens here.

Dick Charlson, tired after work and lashing out here so his pooch doesn't go hungry.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Someone on BF who called Geary joining the night before it was announced is now saying Ben Dixon for goalkicking coach

Im probably in the minority here but I like Dixon and read somewhere that he has some admirers as a skills coach.

Jon Ralph

Dale Morris continues his coaching progression with a promotion at the Lions. Now backline coach after development role this year

The one that got away in my opinion. It will be hard to get him home now.

I should add we don't have Carnaby Fudge by

Or even Stickwick Stapers by Farles
Wickens with four m's and

I think he wanted to move up there so it's probably unlikely he would come back anyway.

My understanding is G stalked him so much when he was Player Sponsor coterie manager that he had to leave the state.

Blame covid. And other factors that might have driven him out of Victoria into the safe arms of Queensland...

Re: Assistant Coaches

The more I find out about Geary the more I like the appointment. I was keen to get a 'fresh-out-of-the-game' coach and the best I could come up with was Cotchin as I was not impressed with Selwood for leadership qualities.

I think Geary is a way better choice. Not the natural football ability of the other two but a 'learned-and-improved-by-effort' type with exceptional natural leadership qualities - considerably exceeding theirs from reports. A bit in the mould of Mathew Boyd as a player, but with way more leadership and communication ability. Played under a variety of coaches and respected by all. (Recruited to the Saints from the Bendigo Pioneers by Luke Beveridge's father for the trivia questions!) Great pick up!

I also really like the Egan appointment. Prefer him to Leppitsch. Doesn't carry the same baggage and appears really solid in the character department. Good communicator, smart guy.

With a goal kicking coach to come, and some very good work by Sam Power, I think the club are doing really well this off season. With the success so far I am feeling confident that they will nail the fitness and medical appointments.

Very pleased they kept Beveridge. Way to early to let a premiership coach go. Every club has a bad game (WC) and a down season as part of the journey.

List is in good shape and I'm calling it now! 'Top four in twenty-four!' (By the way, I have long thought if we make top four we are certainties to win it! No I am not delusional... no I have not had too much to drink.. no, I do not live in la la land..)

Awesome post and name.
Really good holistic perceptions, thanks.
Love the early call of top 4 after faith losing end to this season.
I rally with you.

I think Dale may have done his own research and won't be back to Melbourne any time soon.

Spoke to Aaron Rodgers who spoke to Joe Rogan and got some good advice

Re: Assistant Coaches

I guess what I'm saying is irrespective of whether these are backfill and/ or updates for/ to existing positions he would be happy to get his hands on them. None of these hires would have been secured without his input.

And call me cynical, though I'd not be surprised if the titles given to the new hires were as much about attracting talent targeted as they were a strategy of the club itself.

Great call, hope so.

Hahaha.

She said "no you sweet talker"

I think he could do okay with us. Some specialized goal kicking practice that targets about 8 to 10 forwards and mids would be ideal.
