More than win/loss ratio. They are getting smashed against the better sides on the comp. That in itself tells me they have not bridged the gap.

people didn't think that a few weeks ago when they smashed adelaide by 14 goals. Young teams are up and down (see Essendon). There is every chance Melbourne will be the west coast of next year.

WCE at least had big bodies, they copped alot of injuries last year. I cant compare Melbourne who are younger and have players who have not fully developed thier bodies.

Look i just get the feeling watching this year it needs freshnin up. we have got some great talent & a new coach new direction will put fire back in the bellies.
Eade has been great for us for the past 7 years but we still only have the one premiership.
I've lost faith maybe the players have too?

Yes
I Prefer to think of it like a company.
Sacking the and replacing the CEO of any corporation won't be that effective if you keep the same middle management in place, or performing has they have been.

Any takers for Dean Baily as an assistant coach? I reckon he got a raw deal at Demons and his CV boasts experience with clubs that have had success. His less confronting and ever positive demeanor would be a good foil for Rodney's more expletive-charged style. Rocket might also feel comfortable next to someone with a similarly mature hair style. ^_^

His coaching style though seems to be a lot like Eade with regards to placing an emphasis on teaching players rather than demanding extra from them. Granted that Eade is a lot more animated once the siren goes but I don't think there is a huge difference between except of course with results

Despite what Bailey can offer I'd rather someone who is keen to push the group very hard on the training track.

Re: Head Coaching Position 2012

Some interesting combinations coming up in the forum.

Not as simple as first thought. I think there are options.

Not that one knows anything substantial from the outside, but impressions count for something.

Goodwin and Craig? Scott Burns. There is enough profile here to excite potential members as well...

Interesting. so you feel Eade doesn't demand enough on the training track?
If so, blame would have to fall equally at the feet assistants.

Sure, players need to be pushed, but any personal trainer can do that.
The coaches should be there to create an atmosphere so that the group wants to bleed for each other, and we need someone who can bring about positive change.
Sometimes, shouting at players is not the best way to do this. Highly idealistic I know, but these are young men, with the rest of their lives ahead of them. Would want a person who can put things in the proper perspective, Allan Jeans style. I'd rather a younger ( than Baily ) teacher type myself, but that's just personal preference.

Is he ready to come back as an assistant considering the way it ended? Why do you think he's a good possibility

I don't know the ins & outs of his coaching ability, the same as all untried assistants.

But we all know we need change in the coaching department, so why not get someone who is red white & blue through & through.

The way it ended is all water under the bridge.

Re: Head Coaching Position 2012

I would hate to see Rocket leave. Think he has done wonders for the club. He has had a tough year with so many major key players having big injuries! Think we have some great young players that will really benefit from his experience and knowledge. Would love to see them make a decision about him before the season ends...

Agree he has done wonders and if you believe the players the all want him as coach. I would give a one year contract with the development of the playing group the main objective if the board sees improvement give a longer term deal .If no signs of progress we can have a crack at Malthouse or maybe Roos.

Re: Head Coaching Position 2012

No to that^^. If we adopted that proposal we'll have endless speculation all year, if we struggle.You either go with Eade on a 3 year or he gets replaced.Actually don't think Rocket would accept a 1 year deal. For mine I reckon he's done a good job, but if he was replaced I wouldn't be shocked. I can see both sides in this

Coon dog its my opinion. You dont seem to like it, bad luck!

Go and check out of winloss from the middle of last yeat till now, the complete lack of improvement in our youngsters this year and that fact that It took untill mid year to start to change the outdated game plan are pretty damming points IMO.
