i hope so ... i don't think he's had any impact there.

I assume Fraser would have some being a coach in his own right, so let's hope they both do, and challenge the boss, else it will be another long year.

Does any other club have a senior assistant that doesn't also have a dedicated (line) role?

Settle down there turbo.
Colon Wood has 2 midfield coaches (Skipworth and Boyd), it's what GW does.
We still need speed and foot skills, Adams would understand this coming from North.
And I am sure he is already part of the discussion on who they are targeting.

They might make one of Adams or Clarke Senior assistant/midfield too.

Well, well, well….fancy not liking raising a point that Wright identified a weakness in our coaching and added more midfield coaches to fix our structures and setups. Oh well……..

Just watch what is next…..

You're jumping at shadows SB.
It's not like having 2 midfield coaches is a radical new thing, like I said Colon Wood do it, where GW just came from.
If it was solely a coaching issue then they wouldn't be targeting other midfielders as well.

And wasn't it you complaining we were only replacing 'development' coaches and I said they would have positional changes.
Now you are reading this as it backs your wild theories, you're all over the place.

But like I said before and I'll say it again - they still need the right tools.
First and foremost it is a player issue.
Then it is a depth issue, especially for injuries.
Then it is a coaching issue.
Pretty much all of us have said he needs better support, especially on game day.

The fact it is happening all in the same off season doesn't make this any less true.
And it will not make players like Walsh and Cerra any more durable or Hewett and Cripps any quicker.

This is not the gotcha moment you seem to think it is, it actually supports what I have been saying for awhile now.
Adams has had senior football coaching experience and at a guess will be helping with game day tactics.

Voss has suppport - tick.
We are adding speed and footskills to the team - tick
We are adding depth to the team in the right age bracket - tick.

Let's just be happy we are building on what we have done so far, something I have been advocating for rather than turning the place upside down every 4 years and sacking head coaches.

Nope. Stop making things up. Stop twisting things.
I’ve said all coaches, everyone should have been replaced.

This is what I was referring to SB.

The allure of Clarko is fading . Patch was offered two years at North but turned his back on it to come to us . He obviously has no problem working with Voss .

I reckon he'll be a good pick up and with the right players added this off season we could be back to our best.
Then I hope we can return the flogging in the midfield we received this year from North.
I'm pretty pumped.

Patch has senior aspirations . He aint coming here to shred his reputation .

That is a good thing.

Might be the responsibility catching up to the title. It was such a weird back seat driver role.

Clarke is another strange one. If it was stoppages & team structure, I could get behind that. Something that implies he’ll be cycling the flanks & pockets through the stoppages between the arcs… as it is, it just looks like they couldn’t move him on because Cripps would get the sads.

Nothing to do with the new line coaches. Please just stop.

Your comment was that development coaches were going and I required an 'explanation".
Fraser and Adams are the new line coaches that will be in the coaching box, as per my comment.

i wonder if he's here to be our next coach? wright mighta said something like Voss has until week 10, after that all bets are off and you'll be interim.

I like the fact that we now have a VFL Coach and I like the fact we have a Development Coach . They have been separated unlike last year when Luke Power had to shoulder the whole damn lot . No wonder he gave us the flick ................. I reckon another development coach is a certainty . Maybe two . A couple of fresh blokes out of the game would be nice .

Now all we need is a coach that sees what’s going on and implements standards and change before it gets out of hand

Brad Ebert was Head of Development last year. Power definitely had both hats on after we lost O’Keefe though. They tried to calve off some of the admin with Lonergan’s role, but you could see how convoluted it got.

Just don’t ask me which one is higher in the pecking order - VFL Coach or HoD.

Interesting that Ebert has taken up with, essentially, a private academy.

Yes , that Ebert has shot through has got me puzzled . I get Lonergan going back to Geelong .
