Goal Kicking Coach (Part Time): Brad Green, Nick Riewoldt, David Neitz, Matthew Lloyd.

 

New position, clearly needed.

NB - No former Demons were included solely on the basis they are former Demons.

Threw up a few names early on in the assistants thread. Anyone heard any names mentioned? (Mine were just suggestions)

    Its about blxxdy time!

    Such an obvious thing to do!

    While we are at it, an experienced forward coach please. 

    All year, I've been frustrated with defenders trying to be forward coaches, especially as many of our forwards are inexperienced in their role at AFL level and are converted defenders and midfielders.  At some stage we need players who are skilled and experienced in their role.

    This feels like a light bulb moment for them in charge.. lets be honest, this is a position that should be full time and coveted just as much as any position, after all, to win a game, you have to kick goals.

    Not sure who it is, but its really important. Also so is 2 Assistant coaches that we have not filled yet or heard anything about. Must be news about these positions sooner rather than later.

    Slowly, one by one the things many of us suggested here during the season and the company men, argued against at ever turn come to pass.  Enough to make some bark at the Moon or its shadow.

    My absolute bugbear. If you are playing at the top level set shot kicking should be a gimme in the 45 arc from the center of the goals 40 out.

    "OK guys, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm the new forwards coach. Today we'll be going over some techniques ... now when I was a defender, I preferred my forward staying nice and close. You, come over here. Stand next to me ... now, see how easy it is for me to punch the ball away? Remember that. Now, going on a lead ... go for the pockets ... right next to the boundary line ... no ... no, don't go right out in front ... we want a nice tight angle ..."

    "Uh ... coach ... shouldn't you be teaching us the things you DON'T like a forward to do?"

    "Oh, you'd need a forward for that."

    "And ...?"

    "Well, the ex forwards are coaching the defenders! They can't be in two places at once! Now, playing from behind. I used to love it when my forward played from behind ... now watch carefully ..."   (fade to black)

    It's like a golfer who can't putt. You can't win if you can't score.

    Haven’t heard anything, but Brad Green would be my preferred goal kicking coach. He was as close to the perfect kick for goal that this club has had.

    First we move Fritsch forward then we focus on actually improving basic skills, I can't believe what I'm seeing.

    Hopefully we recruit another seven tall key defenders to restore the balance.

    I also would love to see Brad Green back at the club, he certainly could assist with forward line craft as well as kicking, what a great player he was for Dee's.

    Find a quote where I was against a goal kicking coach or any change of any assistants?

    You can't.

    Worst poster on Demonland.

    First task by the new coach should be to cut out the silly snaps and around the corner kicks in the pre-game warm up. 

    Remember reading an article last year on Breust, it mentioned he had a very simple and effective way of practising goal kicking prior to a match. About 15-20 shots from 20-30m directly in front. Getting the basics right, working on technique rather than trying to slot goals from M57 Olympic Stand.

    I know we aren’t the only team that does this but it still bugs me big time.

    Yes DZ not only a great player but felt he was seen as  underrated  IMO. 

     I wonder  if Brad was ever approached for a position as an assistant coach with us. 

    Yes he had forward craft and was a consistent set shot.

    Absolute textbook technique- would have to be a leading candidate.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
