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.

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
