Coach Fages and the coaching group

[The Flying Belgian]

Grabbing it and re-reading it through to edit it really brought home how completely unhinged it was the first time around.

How is he still there?

 

[M Malice]

This has all gone over the top of my head(not a rare occurrence I admit), I have no bloody idea who you guys are talking about.

I want to hear more about dlanod fascination of softball while hearing less about our coaches being rubbish.

Please can we change the title of the thread to “Softball with dlanod”

You ask why is he still there, I ask why are we still here?

All we need is Leemas and it'll feel like the good (bad) old days.

a softball question

informal

a question that is easy to answer:

I know this is probably like a softball question to you, but are you going to go ask Congress for more money and more staff?
News crews lobbed softball questions.

Do you want me to email Chris Fagan that question you asked so we can have a fundraiser to upgrade BigFooty

Not sure how much Fages knows about softball. But hey you do you

This is how I picture Mr Malice

 

[Viceregal]

Well that was ... interesting...

 

[scoman]

Watched a video this morning with Montanga highlighting our inability to ice the game late in the final quarter. Says he can't believe we continue to be so bad at these situations considering where we are at as a team (been contending for 6 years). Senior guys like Dunkley, Clugga and Berry just rushing things, when Zorko, Andrews and others are signalling them to slow down and look for an easy possesion.

Poor coaching.

Poor coaching.

3KZ we know there's a school of thought out there that Fages is a great man manager but isn't so hot when it comes to tactics.

But last week was just lazy football by the players , even up to the end some of them played like it was just going to happen .

I agree about the players, but that is a coaching issue, because too many players under Fagan have become comfortable, because they know they are not going to be dropped. Lester is a classic example of a player who is determined to hold his place in the side and plays accordingly. So does Lyons and Dev Robertson is another.

If players are lazy or have become complacent that is because they know the ‘Mulligans’ will come out at selection. It doesn’t seem to matter how bad a player like Berry plays, he knows he will be selected. Under Fagan, Rayner has never and will never be dropped, no matter how many poor games he strings together. It reflects the culture Fagan has fostered.

Let’s see if he is willing to send a message this week. If he selects Payne this week it really signals that Fagan has set the bar so low for some players in this team that results like the Carlton one will keep happening.

Who’s responsibility is it to do something about this group mentally?

 

[cotter101]

Been a staunch supporter of Fages and he has done wonders for us and where we were at previously. But he has to do something. I don’t want to hear about learnings in the post match.

Conole goes first. Drafting has been atrocious since they read out McCluggage

We actually played pretty well in the last quarter. Clearly what Fages said at 3 quarter time worked

Im often surprised the love our recruiting team have got. Look at some of the gems other clubs have picked out of the draft in third rounds and onwards and ours get praised for picking Clug, Ash etc.

Of the club doesn’t make wholesale changes in its footy department this year, the premiership window is all but closed if it already wasn’t.
