When do we find out about the coaching structure?

 

[Jade Buddha]

One thing you can be assured of is RTB doesn’t suffer fools.

When do we find out about the coaching structure?

According to the article on the site, "in the coming weeks".

 

[Jayman15]

Strikes me as an intelligent guy who has worked under successful regimes at Hawks & Pies so if he is half smart should have some good insights. Presumably RTB met with him and reckons he is an upgrade - if that’s the case I’m all in.

Also presumably caused the Pies some pain by destabilising & losing some IP - bonus points!

BUT certainly doesn’t strike me as Head Coach material - won’t get another gig.

Agree with your points, not sure he’s head coach material. BB was a former teacher and his passion is in actual tuition/coaching. He became marginalised in his role at the Pies and was never going to break the Leppa-McRae bond. I think he’ll be a good acquisition at the Saints with the kids as he’ll stay in his lane, but the move makes sense for someone that will be eyeing a key coaching role within the Tassie setup in the coming years

I agree re his passions of tuition and coaching. Hopefully his contribution is to fast track our young players.

Director of Coaching for BB would be glorious, overseeing development and NGA as well as game day line coaches. We have been screaming out for that or (similarly) a senior assistant for some time. Typical coaching structure throughout the AFL.

In an interview I heard, BB stated he took the role as he was keen to get back into coaching (as opposed to being in a director of coaching role).

Yep. I could see Bolton - forwards, Harvs- mids, Rivers - backs, Goddard - VFL, Enright - Director/senior assistant/RL’s right hand man/tea lady.

's thoughts about Brendon Bolton

https://archive.md/GKKr4#selection-807.0-821.172

Oh christ, Bolton sounds like a poor fit for a direct coaching position, I hope that he's changed since then. Hopefully Lyon keeps his eye on him. I wasn't a fan of this appt and this only confirms my fears.

 

[Drop Kick]

I hope the Saints dietitian doesn't have biscuits on any of her menus.

BB might go ape.

I might nickname him Crackers.

 

[seasonedsainter]

Can confirm Damian Carroll was in Ireland very recently. Really nice fella so I’m told, he came into our shop as he was rapt to see the Saints flag in the window.

We had a new Irish lad training with us late in the year - I dont know his name sorry. He was a lithe looking medium sized kid who the regular training goers suggested we were pretty keen on. Id suspect Damian might have been finalising his move and perhaps looking at other kids. He didnt happen to say why he was there did he?

A couple of Irish kids are a free hit on the list, so it makes sense to try some, even though the odds are against them.

I hope he threw down his wallet.

Only one Irish kid at a time qualifies as a Category B - deal done back in the International Rules days to placate the Irish. We sign another and they have to be Category A, you'd want them to be a pretty good prospect.

Where about is the shop - might call in when home next and talk all things Saints!

I wasn't in I'm afraid! I would have certainly asked about his movements/gotten news if so... shop is in Kilkenny so he was deep in hurling country there...

 

[seasonedsainter]

Didn't buy anything no, wouldn't accept a free coffee either! Was likely just flabbergasted to see the scarf I'd say...

Do! There's three of them. Send me a message if ya like.

I thought you were in Sligo for some reason
I know Kilkenny very well...worked there for months, and return often. Where's your shop?

 

[Sully111]

Hearing whispers Bolton was appointed as he promised to pay off our debt by selling off part of his original unopened Star Wars lego collection.

Nah we're actually based in Galway. How about you? The KK shop is on St Kieran's St there.

 

[saint66au]

YEs, lets all throw BB under a bus based on the word of one player with an axe to grind and a book to sell..
