gay picnic defence posted:AFLW? Although that seems from some quarters to have been something they were pushed into. They were pushed into making it a thing reluctantly, They treat the women's competition and the women competing in it as second class citizens. And they spent more money promoting and setting up AFLX than they did AFLW. So whilst he can "technically" crow about AFLW arriving on his watch, I would not in any way say that it was a success for Gil.

It became untenable for them not to do something, and they tried their best (and largely succeeded) to utterly gently caress the implementation.

Rest in peace, Polly. My dad used to tell me a story of when Polly was playing at Geelong that he would visit the farms in the area as he was working for an agent for some farm products. Of course dad would ask Polly to show off his handball skills, so Polly would handball through the side window of his car. Oh drat, he died from Alzheimers, just like what my dad is suffering from

Congrats to Teague, he thoroughly deserves the Carlton job. He's taken them from a joke to a pretty formidable unit, pretty much from the moment he took over. I also can't help but notice that when he was the Crows' forward coach we had the best-performing forward line in the league and the moment he left we became bog average.

Which begs the question, Bolton was supposed to be the poo poo since he training as a coach under Clarkson's wing, but turned out to be a complete failure, what the gently caress happened there? Did Bolton have a completely poo poo attitude towards the players?

Did Bolton have a completely poo poo attitude towards the players? Nah, he was fine. The players didn’t learn how to play footy overnight once Bolton was sacked, everything they’re capable of now is on the back of his coaching. I have a theory that the sudden improvement of sides after sacking the coach is due to the removal of a fuckton of pressure that was on the players rather than any ability of the new coach.

Bolton was also playing some of the senior players out of position for the sake of developing the younger guys, which should help in the long run but made it very hard for them to win games this year. Teague moved them back to their best positions (e.g. Murphy and E. Curnow into the centre bounces) which also contributed to the sudden improvement of the teams performance.

Bolton was coaching for the future. He's done a lot of good fetting gametime into kids. But as mentioned he played players out of position, where it didnt work. He also was trying to teach a 'complicated' gameplan and once the game started he didn't change that plan, he'd play the whole game without moving players around and fix the issues for the next match. Teague came in and instantly moved players around the ground to get better matchups. Teague apparently tried to get bolton to change things up during games last year but was shot down. Bolton will still be a decent coach in the future, he just had a massive and nigh impossible task with the team he inherited and what was required via list management. 56 players cut in 3 seasons. Hardly any veterans or experienced players.

We played finals for four years and when we finished 10th the board sacked him. Yes there was dead weight and room for improvement but malthouse hosed that up by bringing across dale thomas and his dodgy ankle on a multimillion dollar deal which blew away all the cap space, which forced betts out as we couldn't even give him a slight payrise (significantly less than the crows sere offering) to keep him at the club. Anyway. We have a good list now and probably only 5 players will be delisted thjs year which is much less than the ~12 delisting each year like under bolton. Bring in two or threeature players and 3 or 4 draft topups and we'll see where we go bext year.

With Bolton, I think it was just that the team he inherited was so far behind the eight ball that in the time it took him to get them up to speed, too much water had passed under the bridge. You can only lose so many games before you get jaded. Fresh blood comes in, the pressure comes off, and you start to enjoy playing footy again, and suddenly you start winning matches. Happens all the time. It's why I generally support moving a coach along after a couple years of poor form. It's not necessarily the case that the coach is useless, but eventually the playing group gets so jaded that they just need a change to kick back into gear.

NTRabbit posted:Rory Atkins finally out, presumably we've found a buyer for him and don't need to trot him out the front window anymore. I've been so disappointed with him this year. I've been a fan of his in previous seasons even as Crows fans have made him the whipping boy, but this year he's just been rubbish. For every good thing he does he'll do five bad things, he constantly runs himself into trouble, and sides have all worked out he can only kick on his left side. I still think he's a good player, but we shouldn't see him again this year. Freshen him up for 2020 and get a good preseason into him. Edit: Wow, I just noticed that the Crows have named O'Brien and Jacobs to play. That's kinda bizarre, both of them are really only useful in the lead ruck role and both of them tend to play 80-90% game time in that role. The only possible alternative for either of them is to rest at full forward, and we've already got Walker, Fogarty and Lynch up forward. I guess we're expecting Jacobs to play the Josh Jenkins role? That sounds like it's going to be a disaster. Can't help but wonder if this is going to be a farewell game for Jacobs. cmndstab fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Aug 15, 2019 |

Its the sort of thing I'm wondering with Woosha at the moment. I still think he was absolutely the right appointment for 2016/2017 as a measured, mature presence to get the club through that period directly after the suspensions. But now.. I'm sure there's a fuckton more wrong with our club than just a head coach (Justin Crow being moved on is a good move given our injury problems). But we are out the other side of the WADA stuff I could see a change of coach being pretty timely.

He's been excellent in the wake of the Phil Walsh tragedy, a real calm head who got us playing some seriously good footy for a while. But we've been down for two seasons now and if we end up missing the finals again (which I think is likely) I can't help but wonder if we'll move him on? Straight swap Pyke for Woosha imo.

Daisy Thomas hits 100 carlton games this weekend. He's getting delisted/announcing his retirement tomorrow by all reports. Luckily for him he gets his name on the locker, could have been suspended or dropped for two extra weeks and been stranded on 99 games like Sam Rowe last year.

I wouldn’t give a poo poo about this game apart from the fact that I’m equal first in my work tipping comp and I picked Melbourne and the other guy picked Sydney, so it got interesting. But holy cow, some of those umpiring decisions are weird. That final “htb “ when Lewis just pushes the swans player in the back and gets a free for it. Bizarre.
