So is there a chance he could be swayed to speak to Essendon***, or has he agreed to join us definitely.

Geez I would hate for us to have to settle for Barker.

Which part of Barker's presentation didn't you like?

Probably the bit on match day.

i've got a good feeling about it all.

Blueman was right all along

Come to think of it, where is Blueman

i think of blueman's posts often. i was a fan.

not sure why he stopped posting, he did used to cop a lot of ridicule so i hope it wasn't for that.

it's a shame whenever any long time poster leaves these parts.

I liked blueman too but only really in the way that I once appreciated Melrose Place.

Actually, that show was complete shit but I had a girlfriend who watched it because she was bewitched by stupidity.

But I still enjoyed the idea that any halfwit can say any stupid thing and people/eyeballs will congregate.

In retrospect I'd have to say Blueman was basically full of shit regardless of his mass appeal.

If bluemans new handle is johnny
He is going to feel a wee bit wounded.
More likely though BM is partying it up in the 5th dimension.

Wears a beret and yells "Action!" into a megaphone.

Perfect for the upcoming Goddard movie.

Right, so why do we need a director of coaching then?

I'm open to the idea, but I'd like to know what he would actually do.

Did you miss the bit about the beret?

If he's an older head who Bolton and the rest of the coaching panel can tap into as a sounding board, without being caught up in the minutiae of day to day coaching, I can understand the position.

In my mind it's not dissimilar to a sales excellence, marketing excellence etc position, which can work very well if the the person in the role understands what the role is (and isn't).

If we end up with a relatively young panel with significant player turnover, i could see the merit in considering it.

That Malthouse bloke is pretty experienced :lol:

The Duke · **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 9:56 am

Whoever our new coach is, I'd like them to bring in a club-wide rule that if a player has to jump to take possession of the ball they immediately punch it as hard as they can to our goal. Almost every single time a player takes possession mid jump they are pounced on which often results in a holding the ball decision.

At the very least it almost always ends in a ball-up. If the team is drilled in this new 'Duke rule' they will automatically know that the ball is going 20m to our end and start to run in that direction.

Just a thought :smoking:

Would such a person need to be on the club's full-time staff? Couldn't the same be offered in a part-time mentoring role?

Just hurry up and announce it.

Good question. Could be either, and I'd say Bolton (or whoever is coach) would have a big say on that

Must say Barker is really enforcing a culture change, well Barker and others I'd say.

For too many years we accept mediocrity, it's about time we demand more from our players. If you don't buy in, leave, we won't win anything with players who have that mindset.
