Yay!
No change at all!
Job well done boys.

Rich reward for a job well done. Just hope we can lock away our fitness team quick smart so that once the season's over we can make the players come back to training early and implement our highly successful pre-season fitness program.
Hopefully in the next few days the club will announce that we've created coaching positions for Mcleod, Goodwin, Edwards, Burton, Hentschel and Jacky. Once this process is finalised I'll then be completely satisfied the club has taken every measure necessary to replicate such a successful 2010.
Onwards and upwards towards an equally succesful 2011!

Phew. At least now I can sleep knowing that the club has taken a good hard look at itself and realised what it needs to do to ensure we don't have another season like 2010.
Neil is also considering recinding the retirements* of Burton, Edwards, Goodwin, McLeod and Hentschel. After all there is still a lot of improvement left in those guys.
* not sure if one can recind a retirement?

You do have to wonder.... 
Great review by the club. I also think Steven Schwert (spelling) should be contracted for another 10 years as he has been doing a fantastic job over the last four years with our injuries.

SACK THE LOT OF THEM!

There was talk earlier in the year that Noble was applying for a job with the Lions (from memory I think they said he was being headhunted ).
Obviously they saw what we can't.........
).Obviously they saw what we can't.........
We should cut Essendon off at the pass and offer Williams an assistant coaching role
Yes he went for it but didnt get it and heard still loking for that type of office type role . Pay him to sit in a office just get him the hell out of our forward coach please .There was talk earlier in the year that Noble was applying for a job with the Lions (from memory I think they said he was being headhunted
Obviously they saw what we can't.........
Then we have jobs for boys please tell me how did Ben Hart get his job.
Then we have Squirt Schwerdt as other posters said did a marvelous job getting players fit to avoid injuries .
We always wreck our kids how many even get to 1 st game without having stress injuries .
How many injuries do we have at training. Handling of Knights been bl----y awful.
Seems like if you agree with Craigy got a job for life . If dont just ask Peter Jonas what happens
Lots of experienced ass coaches leaving clubs in particular Essendon and Carlton incl ex SA players.
We just need some new ideas in there .
After such a disaster year and promises of review of all areas of club this is staggering to say the least .
Obviously by my alias I am a supporter of Craigy but club better make some massive climb in 2011 or I will be joining in with the lynch mob

I'd also like to express my utter relief at the prospect of Taylor's continuing tutelage on kicking for goal. It would have been a shame for all that hard work to go down the drain and to watch his kicking go back to what it once was.

Let's hope there is a change there.
Apparently threre's some kicking guru that's going to be working with the club during pre-season to help with the kicking accuracy.
From what I understand it's a 2-3 month process where they break the action down and go from there.
This guy was apparently at Brisbane when Clarke was there (more jobs for the boys?) and has been working with the AFL players in the NFL (Chris Bryan was the last one he was working with apparently).
Former Brisbane and Hawthorn AFL player Nathan Chapman, who runs Prokick Australia, an academy designed to train up aspiring punters and kickers.
Is it just me or is it a bit odd that we have someone who coaches aspiring NFL punters teaching AFL players
Thats fantastic, we might actually have a few players that can hit the Dome's roof with a few 55 yard punts. It goes hand in hand with the kick it long and high to Tippett while he has 4 players hanging off him and ignore all Walker leads.
2011 looks promising already, especially if a few of our players break down due to overtraiing before Xmas. Looks like a repeat of 2010 is starting quick smart.
Excellent news...
We would hate to waste all the 'learning experiences' our coaches have gained from an awful pre-season, terrible injury management, woeful goalkicking, inept tactics, and desperate affection for all things washed-up (hmmm...like our coaching staff?).
Craig likes to talk abour high performance sport and doesn't recognise that emotion plays a role in player performances on match day (even for Crowbots ala the Edwards match), yet surely his old-school and naive loyalty at all costs off the field is lacking the cut-throat professionalism we need to improve?
This post is possibly hyperbole but surely some changes would have been beneficial after the debacle that was 2010?
My concern is that the retirements will allow our staff to claim the rebuilding card for the next 3 years...until we have another discussion in 4 years whether all these guys are the right ones.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter how bad we are because 'we will learn from that'.

I suspect this is a blueprint for how Brisbane's 'total club review' headed by Vossy will go.
Hmmm... terrible year... everyone did great!

I think you've nailed it. This is all part of Neil Craig's cunning 10 year plan. So all things considered we are progressing nicely.

My guess is, if they haven't significantly improved next year, they'll all be out so it's really a moot point (ie. new coach brings a new team). Just as you can't really sack Craig on the back of this one poor year (given that they've made the finals every other year), perhaps the same latitude has to be given to his team? They will ALL be coaching for their lives next year.
Interestingly, they are moving Bickley out of the mid-field and into defence (not sure I agree with this) and giving him more responsibility. I see Carl having a field day with this little tid-bit in his transcripts!
Notice they didn't make mention of our ruck coach at all?

Everyone loved our coaching panel last year, when we were winning.
The four guys we have got are all pretty good IMO.
Is it Noble's job to teach kicking? Or in this day and age is most of his time spent setting up forward structures. I dare say he is good at that, we get plenty of shots at goal. The other three are quite good at their roles, from what we can see.
What I would l like to see is a program to include our goal kicking with a set coach to do so ie Andrew Jarman. We can afford it.
Also Rehn to come on board and take Clarke's spot as Ruck coach. Maric is about to enter his prime and Rehny is the man to get him to take advantage.
