Hope Gaz's shoulders not lame

Rocket's coaching days were gone

Soon he'll be on Metricon's lawn

Hoping it doesn't go bad,

At least he'll have a great ex Cat

    Thought the Suns would've wanted a winner.

    Like? Does Worsfold want to coach again?

  • Quote

    Well I guess you can lock the Suns in for ALMOST winning a flag over the next few years. Winning one? Not so much.

    He is mate. 4 premierships as a player, one as reserves coach at Brisbane and a great record as a coach with Sydney and Footscray.

    A really good bloke who will do well and get the senior coaching premiership he deserves. A great selection by them.

    If we didn't get Roos, Rocket would have been my next pick.
    The Suns are at about the stage the Swans were when he took over in 1996.

    Thompson, Worsfold, or any other past coach who knows what it takes to win a flag.

    Eade's twice the coach Worsfold ever was. And half as crazy as Bomber.

    Makes me laugh to hear of 4 years contract for a coach these days. What are the odds he'd see it out. Miss the finals next year and he'd be under the pump. Nice payout if sacked early though

    Some of them have smaller pay out clauses these days. But if you want a big name who's happy on a good wage at the Pies you probably have to pay up.

    Maybe instead of 750k per season for 4 years the deals should be 2mil in year one followed by 300k per year after that but no pay out if you get sacked.

    Hope he loses his first game.

    So do I 'Jack' but his appointment makes it just that little bit harder for us.

    One things for sure, they won't be able to complain about his match day coaching, there aren't many better.

    yes and no

    They'll be far from accomplished as to the new game plan so early in the season.

    Roos will have a fair idea as to Rockets ideas !!!

    The game has changed a lot since those days.

    missing the point...Roos understands how Eade thinks.. he also is very observant of the game. He'll be able to interpret it as possibly Eade develops the new Suns plan.

    No I get the point, but all coaches now have a pretty good understanding of other teams game plans. The really good ones know it better than others, in this case Roos.

    Anyway it doesn't really matter, Eade is a good appointment and I think GC will be difficult first up. Eade has a history of getting an immediate response from his team.

    Think you will find Eade knows what it takes to win one, which is mostly "cattle".

    I liken it to the Malcolm Blight situation going from Geelong to Adelaide. Regular chokers were the Cats in Blight's era, came close but couldn't get a flag. Blight moves to Adelaide and within a short time, he wins back-to-back.

    It'll be interesting to watch the Gold Coast over the next couple of years under Eade - if there's an available coach out there that can get them a flag, there isn't many better than who they picked.

    Could any posters out there do me a favour and explain why Eddie is making such a huge deal about this? I'm not sure I understand.

    And what it has to do with the equalisation tax? I've read a few articles now and I can't understand his position.

    Cheers.

    I actually agree with Eddie

    Eade has a contract with the Pies, if they were tired of him Eade would expect to be paid out.

    The boot is on the other foot so Eade ( or GCS ) should honour the contract or pay an exit fee.

    It seems to me that contracts for Coaches etc are all one way, a contract is a two sided agreement.

    Old ..theres a generally agreed to gentlemans nod that assistants etc wont be prevented from moving to another club for a higher position as is the case here with Rocket.

    I can see both sides but as usual its the filth that get their pound of flesh..

    I look forward to he and Bucks sharing a very ordinary year !! :)

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
