Invisible Viney

Didn't we have quite a few invisible players last year? 🙄

I like it.

If Buckley was coach he would have had much more power to demand his own people than King.

And King doesn't have the same resources at his disposal as Buckley would have.

So instead he is his building a champagne team on a beer budget.

Keeping a core of existing staff that have a positive connection with players, and presumably people he gets along with amd rates. Chaplin is the key such assistant.

And adding some quality part timers he trusts and has history with.

Quality over quantity.

Sometimes guys coming in here and there are a fresh voice and their words have more impact - particularly if they are greats of the game like Scarlett, Hawkins etc.

Listening to the same coach week in week out can be a little monotonous depending on their message delivery.

Yeah, Jed could be Clampett or (Adam's) Apple or Jed Adams could be pared down to Dada. Luker could be Yoda. Then again these guys are paid to play footy, not sing or make nicknames or get ideas off a fan site.

Following those ‘obscure’ nicknames, I was thinking that Onley could have the nickname of either Roy or Orb, after Roy Orbison (Only the Lonely).
