Harvey and the corrigans are the ones whom I have pencilled in for the Neeld treatment should this season go pear-shaped.
Skipworth has enough credits in the bank after what he did to the forwardline and midfield in successive years, I kind of wish they’d have left him in charge of the forwards tbh
Aside from Worsfold, what do we think and know of the assistants? It seems like Worsfold likes to have Harding next to him as the chief tactician and it’s hard to know how much he really does. But where to the rest stand and do the players like them?
Skipworth has been around forever but no clubs seems to have ever been interested in pinching him and he has never been spoken about as a prospective senior coach. Concerning.
Harvey is reaching dinosaur territory. There have been reports players have asked him to tone on requests for them to be aggressive. Do they players respect him?
Corrigan - a bit of an unknown, but people from Geelong way in the local footy scene were surprised we got him, he is apparently not the most respected person as a coach. Also rumours that Daniher doesn’t exactly find him inspiring. Very concerning.
Rutten has been brought in. I fear that we are chasing tail by poaching a Richmond bloke instead of developing our own plan based on the attributes of our list. Maybe he will do that, and he has runs on the board from Richmond, but I’m yet to be convinced the current defensive plan will save us.
This is a bit of a vent/rant but I’d keen to hear what people truly think or know about these coaches, because from what we’ve seen they are producing a severe underperformance. Today we saw a team going through motions who weren’t playing for their coaches.
Is there buy in from the group and do they actually have the skills to win a flag in this era of AFL?
Woosha, Skipworth and Harvey all into the cannon as I have wanted for a long time.
Of course all the skippy lovers will defend him but the bloke is an absolute fraud
For mine, that reflects poorly on the players. They absolutely should be more aggressive, (if true) think it’s more about other coaches/worsfold not backing his call.
