The next coach MUST teach our blokes to be better with their feet



Recommended Posts

Posted

Ive had enough of this year i just want a new senior coach to come in, sit the hole list down be blunt with each player and say how it is!!!!!

I still want rocket Eade to coach us nxt year as i believe he will be the best avaliable. Not these rookie assistants coaches, some people are silly thinking the likes of Mcarteny, Sanderson, Neeld, etc will turn it round u have rocks in your head. A hard experienced coach is in demand.

At seasons end we should delist/Trade the following:

Bartram- Skills aren't up to Scratch

Newton- Not good enough

Maric- Limitations

Spencer- Had his chance

Campbell- Injury prone

Trade:

Sylvia- I cant believe this bloke wants more coin especially what he dished up today

Bate- The time has come.

Overall i cant believe the likes of Scully, Morton and Sylvia want more coin when they dish up crap like today.

So the title of the thread is about footskills.

Then you talk about the next coach.

Then you talk about delistings.

Then you talk about players out of contract.

Great thread.

The next coach should teach our players how to play football, and naturally part of that is how to kick. But how to win the ball and how to use the ball by hand to get out of trouble (and not in trouble) is just as important.

Agree. However today we won the ball, we just murdered it when we had it.

Spencer- Had his chance

Eh? When did Spencer have his chance? Spencer is contracted for next year and definatley deserves a chance.

I have...and for a long long time failed to understand how anyone let alone players at Melbourne can actually play at th etop level whilst seemingly mising what must surely be basic prerequisites and the most noticable of all teh ability to kick a ball decently.

SOme need to quit being cute with the ball and just kick it properly..its not really that hard..it isnt

Isn't much room left for him in the team.

I see a Carlton like scenario, except instead of Kreuzer, Hampson, Warnock and Jacobs, we have Jamar, Martin, Gawn and Spencer.

One will have to go. We could try and get a second rounder for Spencer out of Richmond in 2012.

Anyway, agree with the idea of the thread. Our best kicks are just good kicks and our next best are average.

Im just stating the bleeding obvious, there are passengers on our list who just arent good enough, they must go, a topline coach is in order for our players who have the potential, then our out of contract players who are demanding huge coin just simply arent worth it. There futures with us must be seriously reassesed.

its all logical facts!!!!!

Better with their feet, yes. But it doesn't help when you make the incorrect decision in the first place. Decision making and confidence is the route of our problems at the moment.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
