The best batting coach I had was a world class bowler. One of the greatest swimming coaches of all time - couldn't swim. It is beyond dispute that there is little correlation between a coach's competence and their capabilities as a athlete. 

The point is that our Ruck Coach has had the forward job for 3 years and it's still a mess. How long does one get to stay without change.

    AFL site does that you have to refresh for it to show half time.

    No he is asking why how long for the quarter did something happen? 
    Would have been getting Mitch Owen off the ground no doubt.

    I just caught up on the actual west coast Hawks game and the fact West coast only kicked 2 behinds in the final half. That's terrible. Imagine those poor fans who flew from Perth to the game

    They probably consoled themselves by getting stuck into the boooooze on the flight home.

    Stafford:

    • coached the Premiership winning forward line in 2021, and in
    • 2023 is coaching the highest scoring team in the comp to the end of round 10.

    Melbourne's averaging 107 points per game, up from 90 in 2021, and has increased its scoring efficiency by an unprecedented 20%

    I would say the problems with the Deez ATM lie elsewhere.

    Wait and see how he goes when Wright  and Jones return. He is playing with more run and leading I admit but for how long. 

    And that is the question, can he do more when they are in.

    Well if you were coached by a world class bowler he would have been around world class batsman and world class coaches and would have gained knowledge from them to be able to teach you, as for the swimming coach the two main teachings in swimming are arm technique and kick with turns added, there is more but they are the main ones.

    Who would you rather get coached by Nick Riewoldt, Jonathan Brown etc or Greg Stafford or are you saying that Stafford is a good forward line coach?

    Great player does not necessarily translate to great coach.

    Swimming - "move your arms, kick your legs and turn at the end of the pool" -  LOL

    How true as senior coach, but a good forward couch at this level is needed especially with young forwards coming up learning the craft is invaluable.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
