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.

That handsome Sam Weideman fella from Bombers looks decent.

I hate Michael Long. I've never forgiven him for his brutal assault on Troy Simmonds in the 2000 GF.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
