Starting to get worried about our coach

[Topdog]

I know it's a bit early for this but I am really worrying about our coach. Our game style is flat out awful to watch and I hope and pray what he says to the media each week is nothing at all like what he says to the players after the game. Contested footy is important but it is not the only part of this great game we call Australian Rules.

Re: Starting to get worried about our coach

The only thing I'm worried about is if the club caves in to media, members & sponsor pressure & sacks Macca before giving him the time he needs to turn this around. The board has made a decision & they need to stay strong & back Macca to the end.

I'm a Macca fan & believe in the long run he will turn this playing group around.

He's making errors no doubt.
- The selection table hasn't been kind to him.
- Tried the 3 ruckman experiment for too long. Perhaps he should have never tried it.
- Stubborn focus on contested ball.
- Skill level across the park is poor and goal kicking conversions have hurt us.

He's got a few things right but the whole nurturing and development theme does have a short shelf life.

Need to give Macca a chance to develop the team. I don't think it would be any better changing the coach as now it's the quality of players we have.

I aren't all that worried, but I didn't like the whole 'contested ball cost us the game' after last night.

Surely our complete inability to move the ball (and therefore kick a goal) cost us the game? Our ball movement is simply god-awful...why do we have to play this way?

Sorry Mike didn't have us finishing higher?

Way, way higher.

With the quality of our midfield, we should have won a lot more games. The complete lack of performance/development/call it what you will by Jones and Grant has cost us big time.

It is out of ourselves and the Blues for most disappointing side of the year. Daylight is 3rd.

Robust questioning of the coach welcomed but give the guy a fair hearing.

I'm not sure I can add anything I haven't already said. I might just lurk on this one.

Did you pull your tongue to people at school and sing "na na na na na" then ran for your life?

I worry about the coach. I want him to do some things differently. That doesn't mean I want him fired. Doesn't mean he is incompetent. I Want him to learn, like players have to learn.
