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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
