Re: Brett Montgomery

Of course he can, he is a Buddhist, the media love him and the general public are sucked in by his aura.

What on earth does his religeous beliefs have anything to do with his ability to lead and inspire?

Anyone who has heard the guy speak, know his worth and value, by bringing in subjective "I dont like him because he is a media darling, or whatever other personal XYZ" posts reak of ignorance.

Needless to say its all subjective as we've got the Full Monty now.

Personally, i would ask you all this question: Did we leave no stone unturned in finding the best coach available to us? did we use all of our available resources in the search and recruitment process? did we make a choice without compromise?

Insert irony emoticon!

Re: Brett Montgomery

But can he coach? Or would would you like him to just stand around being inspirational?

I like the idea of this role. In the modern game where every club are looking to create new positions to show how forward thinking they are, we could create a "Director of spritual inspiration"

One of the reasons why Walker chose us over Adelaide is because of Monty.

Don't know. Was really responding to queries on Kirk's leadership ability which I don't believe are justified. Inspiring people is just one aspect of leadership. From afar what I see Eade inspiring is fear and loathing.

I think that's unreasonable. What are you referring to?

Re: Brett Montgomery

Eade is old school, he sprays players like Barrassi - no good for this generation, they need a cuddle and a kiss and to be told how special they are. Eade tells them how it is, but he appears to lose control. I admit the loathing comment is perhaps excessive, but then we have players wanting to leave, our young 'talent'

Sorry I don't believe that, even roos has a blast at players. It's pick your targets and moments. Brian lake wouldn't be the player he is if he was just cuddled and kissed.

Stack, Hill , Everitt for starters

Re: Brett Montgomery

Stack, Hill , Everitt for starters

Stack wants to head back to WA for family reasons which is understandable considering he has a young son who lives in his home state.

I haven't heard it confirmed the other 2 want to leave, have you?

I've heard that Stack wants to go back to WA to be with his son, but the other 2 don't want to leave. That said, they may have a different opinion when their managers start hawking them around.

Yep and every club has players (or player managers more to the point) who aren't happy.

God/Allah help us if this gen can't handle being told that they are rubbish. Its not possible for everyone to be the best facts of life are that most of us have significant room for improvement.

We're starting to sound like a couple of old crusties, I remember when I got up to go to work, before I went to bed...
