yep, I agree with you, I hadn’t actually paid any attention to the Hawks stuff… more just disappointed that our notion of ‘playing the youth’ is playing 26 year olds… and a guy like McNeice is likely never to be anything more than a ‘role player’… hopefully McKenna can develop a bit more…
Anyway the reality is that we need to inject some real youth into the team… try to unearth the next batch of stars to take us forward imho.
Worsfold and the sh*t crew have lost the players. Thanks for your service and out you go.
Open some of this membership cheque book and bring in any/some of:
Blake Caracella (coach/assistant coach): Has won multiple premierships as player and coach. Multiple premierships at Essendon/Brisbane. Involved as coach with premierships at Collingwood, Geelong and Richmond last year. Has the most extensive and varied coaching career there is.
Brett Rattan (assistant)
Scott Burns (coach/assistant)
Robert Harvey (midfield)
Ben Rutten (Defence)
Clear the rest of the coaches out. Hire Sumich or a few experienced coaches in the mix too.
I hope we are chatting to McVeigh. Finishing up this year and wants to get into coaching so it could be a good chance for him to go elsewhere to learn his trade
Definitely worth getting. Just out of the game and a good thinker.
I think we need to overhaul the fitness department. When bomber and Hird came to the club they put them through normal sessions and the players were vomiting and knocking on deaths door, that’s why they started getting Robinson and co, to get these guys into the right shape to the play the modern game.
Time and time again our players look spent by the second quarter and lack the gut running needed at the level. Has anyone seen any of our forward do 2-3 repeat leads?
Or seen us continuously overrun teams?
Yup get some Sydney people. Ruthless, train fkn hard and rarely take it easy. Sydney motto for a long time.
I also want a coach like Scott or Clarko as much as it pains me to say. I want a post game pressure to have a massive fkn rant about how did we get treated then take out Gil for a coffee and get the rules changed.
Call out Martin and Rance, go to town on the maggots.
Pay the fine, who cares. Start showing some passion as a club, not just the playing group.
Clarko is the golden haired coach child. Everyone now should go to Stanford or Harvard and get a PhD in coaching. We all know GWS is the love child of the AFL and they will eventually get the formula right because money is NO object. GWS will be the very first AFL bought premiership, bought and paid for with love money.
