Coaches locked in for 2020

Re: Coaches locked in for 2020

I imagine versatility would be an important factor deciding which coaches were kept on. Fewer personnel now need to cover off the various areas of responsibility (Sam Power doing temperature checks for instance). Corey being cut certainly surprises me but perhaps Gia just fitted better in the overall mix of roles and responsibilities required.

Wouldn't be surprised if Gia is just highly rated internally and felt he provides more.

That's my reading. Possibly rated number 3

Whilst I agree with you, why make him the VFL coach if he is rated that highly? Wouldn't you prefer to have your best people around you come match day?

My guess is it's very much part of his overall development. I believe Gia and his senior coach ambitions believed with King entrenched as the senior assistant, coaching his own team was a good step forward.

I meant to say the other day, Daniel Cross was let go at Melbourne. He was the fitness advisor.

I don't see a way given the current crisis but wouldn't Cross be a great addition back at the club

Re: Coaches locked in for 2020

I wonder if Gia was let go by another club whether we'd be saying "gee wouldn't he be great at our club" without even thinking about it?

Not sure how many fitness and conditioning personnel and or advisors Melbourne have, but if Cross isn't good enough to be the first one or few selected for them why would we want him? How did Melbourne's 2019 season clearly scream the virtues of their fitness personnel?

Now I get things aren't simple, though the immediate reactions to the respective situations of these two football professionals kind of reminds me of their playing days. In the eyes of many fans one guy had to do so much to be recongnised for the value he brought to the table, while the other was viewed much less critically.

Pretty sure you can guess who is who.

Good call. I'd love to see Boydy's hard edge back at the club.

It's been reported that Garry Hocking and Brad Gotch were stood down from the Pies, haven't heard any mention of Boyd so assume he's still there.

He and Cross were fierce, committed bulldogs - loved the way both of them maximised what they had and turned themselves into bloody good footballers

We've probably tolerated too much garbage after the premiership and we could use a harder approach

It would be great to have MBoyd Cross and Morris all back at the Club to provide the hard edge that Bevo refers to as a vital need.
