Troy Chaplin - Offensive Coordinator


Ted Lasso

Recommended Posts

OK so on the website Daniel Macpherson is listed as the Forward Line Coach in the coaches section but is  the Senior Development Coach in the Staff section which also has McCartney's updated position correctly listed. But Matthew Egan has been appointed the Head of Development. Does that mean he's replaced Macpherson or is now his boss. Which would be strange as he's much younger.  If it's a new role does that mean we need a Forward Line Coach but I wouldn't have thought that's an offensice coordinator.

So anyone know what his role actually is?

OK, I've done some research and found some Chaplin offensive coordinator moves. Jesse, Jack and Sam watch out.

 

Here is Chaplin teaching a few spuds some offensive coordination. Not suggesting we have any spuds in our forward line. If he can get Jesse to master that kicking style he'll be a success straight away.

I am in the running to be the new MFC, Coaches and Players Liaison and Communications Performance of Personnel Enhancement Co Ordinator.

CPLCPPEC.  Great acronym.  You'll need a fair size business card to accommodate the moniker

Correct me if i am wrong but the current coaching group is now

Simon Goodwin - Senior Coach

Craig Jennings - Education coordinator

Brendan McCartney- Player and coach performance coordinator 

Mathew Egan - Head of development

Jade Rawlings - Defensive coordinator 

Dan Mcpherson - i thought he was offensive coordinator?

Ben Mathews - Midfield & Stoppage coach

Greg Stafford - Ruck coach 

Troy Chaplin - Offensive coordinator

 

Looks a very strong group to me, four coaches who have coached their own team. 

 

And who will fill what is a very important role, Jesse Hogan kicking coach?  If Ox still has his heart in MFC still he would do better filling this role than just slagging off about Jesse's kicking.

Jade Rawlings job over the summer is to come up with a play that works for us when we have to kick out when the opp kicks a behind. We struggle with this and kicking it to your self then kicking it long near the boundary to our ruckman doesn't always work. 

Why change this, we've been doing the same thing for the last 20 years and whilst it's never worked, we are really good at it.

I am not a fan of huge coaching groups, and hopefully we will see a day when there are only five: head coach, development coach, forward, mids, backs. I understand the need for an older mature head but I can't understand why that can't be the devlopment coach. From my limited insight gained only from reading various things, Chaplin is respected and has always been touted as a coach, I am just unconvinced we need to pay someone good coin to coordinate the forwards, alongside the forward coach.

Maybe his role includes a new emphasais on sledging - so when our boys have a go at a galumphing dick like Brendon Goddard or Heath Shaw, it will be pre-organsied and really effective.  

5 coaches for 1 team and 45 pro athletes?

Yep. In terms of leadership and influence, one person can immediately and personally impact 8-10 people, so the numbers stack up.

I like the title.  Footy isn't made up of a forward line a backline and a midfield, it's made up of "we have the ball" "they have the ball" and "the ball is contested (stoppages)". It makes sense the coaches develop game plans in this fashion too. It is forward thinking coaching.  I like it.

watching the bulldogs through the finals, we need a defensive offensive coach too.... or maybe an offensive defensive? I'm not sure now.

What we need is to be able to replace the injured and the non-performers with guys who perform and take ownership. I spoke to a Bulldog man early in the year telling him how impressive I found the style of play of his team. He shook his head and said, Too many injuries, we're like a pigeon, flucked.

Well, there you go. The Demon problem for years is that every time we needed to make a change, in came M.Jones, Mckenzie,Grimes, post-injuryTrengove, Michie, Maxwell Newton, Spencer Street, etc etc, or,  another dude from the merry go round of duds.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
