Our assistants

Re: Our assistants

Is Williams deluded? He has put himself up for the top job? We sacked Eade on the grounds we needed a fresh change through the place and he thinks we are then going to appoint Eades senior assistant instead?

At least he has the guts to apply. Why not if he has ambitions, if you don't push your own barrow no one else will.

Leon Cameron was Eade's senior assistant for at least 3 or 4 years prior to departing less than 12 months ago.

How is it any different?

Re: Our assistants

Last year playing Higgins, Johnson, Hahn, and Hall in the same foward line was obsurd, that's not a personell issue that's poor coaching. The fact that other than Hahn none of them even considered applying defensive pressure when our forward line was the starting point for most of the oppositions goals, and yet were never held accountable is a major failure of the coaching staff.

There are 4 people in match-committee so perhaps they weren't always in unified agreement on the most effective compsition of the forward line in 2010.

Re: Our assistants

I don't necessarily believe that promoting an assistant isn't bringing a fresh approach. They may have, no wait, they most certainly will have, had thousands of ideas over the years that either went unheard or were challenged and shot down by the senior coach. Bringing in somebody who understands the dynamics of the team and has some fresh ideas that they've been waiting for their opportunity to try out may not be the end of the world scenario we think it is.

That would work against him as well, youd think.

Re: Our assistants

That's rather immature RJ... nah *!*!*!*! it it's really immature as you have no idea how good these guys are at their jobs.... just like the rest of us.

Sorry, missed the lesson on maturity about it being immature to have a go at assistant coaches and mature to swear at people who disagree with you on the internet.

Re: Our assistants

Williams has an advantage over a new coach to the club, he knows the players already.
