Hagdorn kiss of death - guaranteed not to happen now.

Hagdorn kiss of death - guaranteed not to happen now.

Yes.

He is the Freak of reality...

[pantaloons 2,019]

I'm so hoping for Hagdorn to write an article titled "Melbourne to not win the AFL premiership in 2012".

Yep - spewing. I really liked the idea.

Hagdorn kiss of death - guaranteed not to happen now.

Huh, interesting. I wanted us to recruit him when he left North. I was Howled down around Here.

Hard @ the contest.

He'd be a good Get.

[Axis of Bob 11,841]

Freak of reality? No, somebody with his powers of anti-oracle cannot be replicated.

Freak = Kim Hagdorn

[Gippy Dee 48]

I'd welcome him to the club! Good quality Gippsland boy from Heyfield.

His old man works with my old man and has played a few rounds of golf with Leigh. He is switched on and has a good knowledge of the game!

Eventually they've got to get one right but based on the fact that he's a CONTENDER and COULD get the job they're probably just making it up as always

You forgot the good old "it's understood" with no quotes mentioned or names dropped.

[Deeoldfart 8,061]

I just hope Hagdorn breaks his duck and guesses right on this one. I quite like the idea Leigh Brown (just a gut feeling, nothing substantive to base it on) and I especially like he concept of our assistant line coaches having direct responsibility for the same lines under the Head Coach at Casey. Logical but innovative in AFL ranks as far as I'm aware.

A million Kims and a million keyboards?

It's footy's equivalent of New Idea. Friends/insiders/amazed fellow dinners/sources/confidants etc..

[McQueen 17,867]

Would it be possible or likely that he will stay at the filth in a coaching role? I'm starting to warm to the idea of Hudgton coming over.

Yeah, start a Rumour/SNF thread on the main board.

[Whispering_Jack 30,640]

Good to see that chilliboy finally landed on his feet and got a job at Sportsnewsfirst!!

I thought this bit was interesting

The Demons are understood to be planning appointment of a specialist development assistant to each designated line coach under Neeld.

The assistant to each defensive, midfield and forward line coach will also be directly responsible to that zone with Melbourne’s VFL affiliate club Casey Scorpions under senior coach Brad Gotch.

Sounds like we'll have more say in the structure Casey plays with, if, by some miracle, Hagdorn has got that right.

I think he is a short prized favourite to join us.

Yeah, I thought that was interesting too.

Coaches are not Pokemon.

We don't need all 150.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Lol we'll have a coach for every player soon enough.

[DeeSpencer 26,080]

Coaches are not Pokemon.

That's true. But we've gone for a structure that has 2 coaches per line (forward, mids, backs) and we've still got a defensive position to fill under Rawlings and Brown might be a worthwhile person to fill that role, we've also got a forwards coach to work above Satterley.

I Like the Idea of Brown coming across.

[DeeSpencer 26,080]

So do I. Knows Neelds plan, knows how to get the best out of himself and plays a tough, hard and unsociable brand of football, which doesn't make him popular to the public but I think he's well regarded by his teammates. He's also done a bit of TAC coaching work. Also it's not like our backline are old, it's only really Rivers, Macdonald, Garland and Frawley who have probably played on him much. I'm sure he can earn the respect of those guys whilst working with our other defenders. Smart football brain, communication skills and work ethic are the important things, if he has them he'll probably do well.

Paul Roos called Leigh Brown the worst AFL player to ever play 200 games and I don't disagree with him. Apart from being big he has next to no ability; is poor below his knees and doesn't specialise in any one area- he just roams all of them.

This is turn for me suggests 'no' as a coach.

Any player de-listed by the Kangaroos should not coach Melbourne Football Club.
