Game Day 2011 - R10 Western Bulldogs vs Hawthorn

Re: Game Day 2011 - R10 Western Bulldogs vs Hawthorn

It's not that I think Eade is a poor coach but it must be extremely hard for him to rationally and clinically assess the list and players with whom he has a close bond. These guys achieved a lot for him. I've heard him describing Cross as the guy you'd love your daughter to bring home. Could he really run a cold hard eye over a bloke like this and say, he is not the future, we'll cut him.

I wonder if Eade has the stomach (different from guts) to make these calls on guys he's been in the trenches with for so many years. For that reason I think a change of coach while the transition happens may be a good thing.

Do you really think its just one person that makes these decisions? There is a whole coaching panel and a General Manager of Football Operations.

But the coach has the final say. Doesn't he?

The coach would have a pretty strong say in the matter, would he not?

Yes he would but, I doubt he is stupid enough to keep players because he hasn't got it in him to get rid of them or they are his favourites. Surely people don't think the club is totally unprofessional and the club doesn't have a review system to work out who they should keep and who they shouldn't.

Go back to the 1996 review in the Year of The dog and you see Wallet even back then assessing each player with his MC. These days its not just sitting around with the MC there would be input from fitness guys, physios, Doctors , sports science, list management, salary cap, etc etc.

Anyone that thinks Eade sits there and makes all the decisions without consulting others in the club hasn't got a clue.

It's disappointing that people have to keep attacking other posters like this. I don't think my post implied Rocket was stupid. Is it possible to make the same point, that any such decisions are not one person's alone, without adopting this kind of tone?

A review of each player is all well & good, but surely the buck stops with someone?

I would be surprised if it came down to a vote situation on players.

It is a reason why i don't visit this forum as often as i once did.

They were saying on the radio during the game that they thought Bazza was injured and was unable to run at all? Is that true, I haven't seen anyone mention this....

Well, he wasn't exactly gazelle-like.
