apparently he had his own presentation night at three monkey tavern... invited his 20 odd of his favorite players and gave out his own awards... But didn't go to the clubs presentation and present...
Maybe if they get a new coach he will turn up to all functions and bring some professionalism to the position, with a premiership thirds team and finally a fourths this year, maybe a great base for a new coach to come in and shake things up a bit.
Only thing wrong with the first part of your comment is he didn't have 20 players that liked him.
He thinks he is a lot better than he is, but his record speaks for itself, Beechworth didn't make finals when he coached and with practically the same personnel they made the GF this year, with the Saints, he won 1 game and wasn't really competitive all year. Admittedly the Saints didn't have a great side but this year is the worst they have been.
Your second comment is spot on, he was the kind of coach who took his payment (which was way over the top) and nicked off straight after the awards every week. He was at maybe 2 functions all year but really didn't put much back into the club. At training he let the Captain or assistants take over 80% of the nights, while he stood in the middle of the ground doing sweet FA. All I can say is that the club is better off without him.
