Well we need abit of luck

Hopefully Marchbank begins pre season from day 1
Harry, Charlie and Gov complete a year together finally and in form
A couple of debutants in Carroll and Kemp in the offing
Improvement from Dekoning, Philp and Durdin will be important
Fisher has hardly played a game in two year so need him firing
Keep injury list at AFL average of six injured players
Top four is ours.

Need a complete rethink of our coaching team. Yze/Caracalla/Kingsley as Head Coach and poach senior assistants from top performing clubs. Lyon/Sanderson/Leppitsch as senior assistant. Use the soft cap wisely. Wells to replace Lloyd as football director. Keep Power and Amos. Be smart and aggressive.

I've thought about Lyon as a senior assistant or director of coaching or something but would that really work? Wouldn't he be a bit too ambitious for the head coach's job?

And Leppa would be a good get but hasn't he burnt his bridges with us in the media lately?

Hope you're right for next year Walsh. It just feels like every year we hope to finally get a half decent run with injuries, but never do. We always seem to lose development time for players in their first & second years, just disastrous.

I don't agree with everything you say but you have been on about how utterly screwed we've been by the injury gods, & to that end you are bang on the money.

I’m more focused on getting the right ‘group’ of coaches all pulling in the one direction who are versed in the modern game together with a competent and experienced senior assistant. Essendon* have serious coaching panel depth and as much as I hate those pricks, all of Rutten Caracalla Gia etc are highly rated. We need depth of line coaches who could easily step up to senior coach in their own right but also take ownership of the group of players assigned to them.

Sounds good, JK. Any names you’re keen on?

When did Leppa suddenly become a good coach.
14 wins 52 losses as a senior coach is pretty ordinary.
Just because he was on coaching panel at Richmond doesn't mean he was good and why isn't he still there

Yze-Caracella-Kingsley? Why, what makes them stand out.. as much as Bolton has that couldnt land the Hawthorn job?

I can accept Lyon as director of Coaching or Director of Football

Sanderson and Leppitsch no thanks - assistant coaches at best.

Lloyd isnt the football director he is the football manager.

Be smart and aggressive in this way? Sure buddy.

Next.

Thought Caracella wasn't really interested in a senior gig.

Plenty of highly rated names around the industry, just have to find the right mix and balance.

Dean Cox
Daniel Giansiracusa
Jaymie Graham
Adam Yze
Chris Newman
Scott Burns
Stevie J
Matthew Boyd
Nigel Lappin
Adam Kingsley

Then ex-senior coaches like Pyke, Scott, Lyon, Leppitsch etc if interested.

Haven't got coaches here to do that for 20 years. Maybe the reason is something else? Teague has got 2nd closest on that count this century.

With Jones and Casboult we would have. We were short on KPP and hence needed the extra behind the ball. Even with Levi out of form he still takes a player, meaning less pressure on McKay. Important for the structure.

We were light on for talls with Jones out so we had to put an extra behind the ball. Which meant they had an extra too. We get cut up one way or the other.

+1

Yes but all other teams near the bottom of the ladder injuries or not seem to implement innovate to beat top teams with the personnel they have
I have seen no evidence that we do this nor have we really got near a top team all year and yes been beaten by most by about 4 goals but we still DO NOT beat top teams everyone else even Hawks and North do
This is why people are questioning the coaching staff
This is why for another reason Sunday is a big test for our. Patching staff comprehensively outcoached and outplayed last time we played Collingwood let’s see 14 weeks later whether we actually learn from first defeat and yes with undersized team can we innovate to win

Well said.

Watching 360 and seeing what swans have done with their game plan.
So good to see a team playing to their strengths.

Why is it easy to see what other teams are and yet I have no idea what we are doing.

Longmire is a really good coach and he has a very good coaching staff around him

As an aside, how good were those retro jumpers they wore against the dogs
