The Problem with our forward line...

I'd get Gary Lyon, Neita and thge Ox as a tag team for forward coach

All 3 ?

Throw in King Kong Bundy and Andre' the Giant. That will impress the masses.

    I think that is a great idea- I posted this earlier in the year as well as a kicking coach. Mahoney must go- had his time- need another.Might suggest we get Carey to come down occassionally as well.

    We've had a kicking coach for a couple of years. His name is Kevin Ball.

    The problems with our forward line are:

    Watts is very young and very tall. Talls always take more time to develop. By 2012 he will be good, in time for our 2013 flag.

    Jurrah is injured.

    Petterd is injured.

    FitzPatrick is young, even taller than Watts, and a beanpole. Again, watch him in 2012.

    Miller is a spud who has played less than 13 really good games out of 130.

    Bate and Green aren't key forwards. Can help, but not dominate.

    Try coaching that lot at the moment.

    That about covers it "Golf" but why hasn't Dunn been tried?

    Perhaps he isn't keen! surely after 8 goals on saturday he might be played at full forward for a couple of quarters!

    He's also averaging the most marks (6 and a half per game) for Melbourne, play him 15-25 metres out as Brad Gotch said and we might have a full forward solution.

    I shall not pass judgement on Josh Mahoney until jurrah & Watts & Wonna & Jetta & Bennell all get around 50 games into themselves.

    The job is only 20-30% done.

    Maybe you should ask our President his opinion of Josh Mahoney?

    Why would Jimma hire a dud coach when it was his wish to save the club??

    Let's be honest Dean Bailey hires the assistant coaches. So why would he not hire the best person to get the job done. He's also had plenty of experience with Mahoney so obviously didn't hire a dud. I think the board would put a price constraint and a character constraint, besides that it would be mainly Baileys call.

    Our forward line suffers mostly from lack of experienced personnel and structure.

    As for an attack on Mahoney's playing talents, yes he wasn't a key forward but he was extremely important to Port for a few years. He probably didn't have the publicity of Podsiadly but he was a gem of a mature age recruit. I'd like to see a key forward do some work with Jack and other marking players - Jurrah, Petterd, Bate, but besides that I see no reason why Mahoney can't build the successful structures and work on all the aspects of a forwards game.

    Honestly, if I wasn't one - I'd hate Melbourne supporters.

    Go sit with Carlscum supporters and you will soon know who to hate. Leave our own alone.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?
