gubby allen with links to Collingwood and Pert would be available

Was Richo at collingwood while Pert was there ...

Wonder whether Dees are considering moving Richo on

he had alot of luck, as all ops were done early leading into his pre season, as opposed to the prior season where we carried over injuries due to our bid to win the granny. having said that, he appear to be doing well and oversaw minimal reinjuries which is a big tick

l still remember the uproar from supporters on this forum when he was getting traded

perhaps throw in Colin Sylvia

are you kidding, hit a parked car and left the scene

One of the things that struck me about him was that he always looked angry after losing a match - these days coaches hold back and seem to be consoling everyone. Despite his obvious care for the players it was clear they were there to win at all costs and the players followed. Players of lesser talent like Dean Chiron (who would have been lucky to get a game in any other VFL side back then) were regulars. His teams were always said to be playing above themselves, which is the greatest complement a coach can get

Goodwin publicly backed him a week or two ago as a longer term project

Mad on Monday? l was already mad on Sunday

with our teams rare run with injury this season we should be pushing top 6 if we are going anywhere with this list. Jack was also skipper 2018 when we played finals and led from the front playing injured and got us across line. not that max has done anything wrong but has added nothing. we lost the crucial matches again this year that required leadership eg swans freo. unnecessary tinkering and gws made a mistake which many in the media have questioned. they lost to the dees so that's that. they probably win with their skipper.

History shows there is a significant drop in average games played after pick 8, so a small shift in picks either way i(n that range) isn't a big deal

Wound be a step back for the club to lose a player with his physicality and metal strength. Attributes we need the side to build to be a top4 performer. Would also be gutted to lose another former captain in less than ideal circumstances That its got to this stage of the year has me very worried. Making max captain has added nothing

He's a gun on field e.g. Rance wss no push over. Would love to have him back for the good of both parties. Can't see him leaving however

Yep, Carlton is the lowest placed team they have lost to so far ... they have been pretty consistent

l thought it was a 5 part podcast, have l missed something

l said often. If l look at the premiership winning senior coaches of recent times over half had mongrel or were ultra competitive types as players. They clearly need to have other attributes but the former helps

Thanks for the useless 2nd sentence

Yes, got it, neeld played some games of afl. Zero people skills.

He has been in the system long enough and coached this own sides at afl and vfl. His time had passed

As you would appreciate a good coach needs lots of attributes. Strangely after the back and forth, you actually agree he isn't a senior coach. Why dont you think he would make a good coach?

Voss and Hird didn't do an apprenticeship, Neeld didn't even play AFL did he? Back to the thread, so you would appoint Jade when if Goodwin get the chop? Don't think so

Take your point, although I'm not sure that a good senior coach at VFL level is going to be a good coach at AFL level. Often the better coaches are types that played with mongrel or extreme levels of competitiveness and can keep players on edge and their teams tend to play a similar style ...

The top 8 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting and close finishes in some time with many teams in contention and a few important 8 point games. There are always upsets each round but I've tried to map out where the Dees and others might land by round 18 ..

I'd suggest he has missed out on a few senior gigs by now not just that one. There is a dearth of coaches capable ready to step up at the moment so Robert Harvey, Jade Rawlings and others keep presenting but never get the main gigs. Its like the girl you have know for ages and are great friends with but would never go out with them
