[Runnin Blue]

Would be hilarious and disappointing if Peatling announces he is leaving GWS…

…for the Bulldogs.

 

[Crows I Am]

Edmund says he will make a decision today

I am sure he has already made his decision. He may announce it today though.

The fact he didn't announce anything yesterday before the B&F is a good sign he may be leaving.

 

[jenny61_99]

This seems the kind of appointment that it's hard to be genuinely negative about, so it's good to see people having a red hot go.

Of itself, I think it's a good appointment if he's coming in as a Senior Assistant coach. As Director of Coaches? I'm not so sure.

 

[jenny61_99]

Well I’m shocked to be sitting here to see Mostyn supportive of an appointment from the same club that gave us Nicks and best in class Adam Kelly

Seriously George, it's not a bad appointment.

 

[MRB37]

Well if that's the case yet another reason for Roo and Olsen to resign. No excuses with a club that has our resources.

I think the problem often seems to be we can't hit our 1st, 2nd or even 3rd targets sometimes. Which then leads us to go down the path of rookies and promoting people into roles they've never done before. Which can actually create more workload for people they're working with.

I remember Campo talking about in 2019 when he got promoted into whatever that role was and we brought in Godden and Mattner and they were experienced, premiership winning SANFL coaches and he said a huge part of his workload was managing/working with those guys and what they needed to do day to day, week to week.

Ideally that would probably be your senior assistant doing that, but we also have/had our senior assistant running a line, so Burns probably can't fully concentrate on that area either. That's a big part of the role Nicks had at GWS as part of his senior assistant gig, working with the other coaches and managing them to lighten the load on what Leon Cameron had to do. I imagine that's what the DoC will be doing here for us.

Now what a senior assistant will be doing also if we get one is another question still. They may get a broader portfolio to work with like team strategy, ball movement, team offense/defence etc.

 

[George Kramer]

Seriously George, it's not a bad appointment.

I’ve explained my position on this, read my response to Jeffcrowe

 

[Betts are off]

Does anyone know what Oliver apparently did at the Brownlow that ruffled the feathers of his teammates?

 

[Walker Texas Danger]

What number does Peatling wear next year? I think #9

I feel like #9 will go to the mid we pick at 4

 

[TBM]

What number does Peatling wear next year? I think #9

Hearing that Dowling wants it

 

[Jarman3]

So does that pretty much blow us out of the water? Hard to see him uprooting himself and leaving Melbourne if he can stay there and land a gig like that?

 

[Cromulant]

You would think so.

 

[JPetro83]

I heard he was walking around with eyes that resembled an owls eyes..

 

[TBM]

No issue with Murray Davis, seems a good appointment, will be interesting to see what the role is.

What does the latest on Montgomery? Would be great to land him too.

Oh, so Snow season has pushed into Spring this year then?

 

[Mostyn]

Well if that's the case yet another reason for Roo and Olsen to resign. No excuses with a club that has our resources.

Settle down.

We offered deals last year to assistant coaches to replace Rahilly and no one would take our money.

There will always be issues in getting support staff to uproot their lives and come to SA.

 

[footy4ever]

I am sure he has already made his decision. He may announce it today though.

The fact he didn't announce anything yesterday before the B&F is a good sign he may be leaving.

Yes!





....but be prepared for disappointment.

 

[Mostyn]

Of itself, I think it's a good appointment if he's coming in as a Senior Assistant coach. As Director of Coaches? I'm not so sure.

I'm the opposite.

I think someone coming in to manage the coaching team who has done every coaching role - that makes sense.

I'd like the Senior Assistant to be a bit more of a leader in the industry.

 

[Mostyn]

Seriously George, it's not a bad appointment.

I'm shocked to see George being immediately negative. Shocked, I tell you

 

[Mostyn]

Now what a senior assistant will be doing also if we get one is another question still. They may get a broader portfolio to work with like team strategy, ball movement, team offense/defence etc.

This is what I'm hoping to see. I think that's the other key area where Nicks needs assistance.

 

[Samcro24]

Told them he’s leaving

 

[George Kramer]

I'm the opposite.

I think someone coming in to manage the coaching team who has done every coaching role - that makes sense.

I'd like the Senior Assistant to be a bit more of a leader in the industry.

And if we don’t get a senior assistant who is a leader in the industry what says you?

Oh that’s right, you’ll clap whoever we appoint.

 

[George Kramer]

I'm shocked to see George being immediately negative. Shocked, I tell you

Accepted yet Nicks changed our gameplan

 

[Syd Crow]

Seriously George, it's not a bad appointment.

In fairness to George, the AFC has a reasonable history of shit appointments over the last decade. He may turn out OK but the past does not give a lot of confidence.

 

[ftmch]

And if we don’t get a senior assistant who is a leader in the industry what says you?

Oh that’s right, you’ll clap whoever we appoint.

F** me you've become a bitter, bitter bloke haven't you.

I've been on this forum long enough to know that you didn't used to be like this. You should consider legal action against the club for what they've done to you.
