Bluemour Season Blast Off Edition XXXIII

[ferrisb]

Used to really like Andy Mahers podcast.

I didn't realise that was a podcast.

I just thought someone recorded him trying to ask a question and 30 mins later they were still recording....

"and he's been good enough to join us..........."

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Winter Olympics.

I’m into this.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I was never a fan and was glad to see the back of him and the useless bunch of assistants we had.

I don't think it's fair to describe hard working and intelligent football people who gave us many hours/weeks/months sometimes years of their lives to work at footy club as useless.

And yeah, I am sure you were never a fan of Teague when we won that spell of games when Bolton was sacked.

I don't want to roast you too much as a fellow passionate Blue Bagger (esp when I had the same sort of attitude many years ago) but I do hope you try get the nuances of assuming people at the footy club read these posts , and even if they don't , don't post anything critical or damning that you are not prepared to say to their faces in person.

I don't want to be an After School specialist type of lecturer, but I honestly reckon there is a more polite and civil way of labelling our previous assistant coaches as useless.

Better still, we could all move on and let the future itself judge that regime.

Pretty sure we're only a ten win season from seeing Vossy and the newbies subjected to the same criticism we've seen of the previous six coaching teams.

If Crazy V suffers the same unfortunate injury plague that Teague had to endure, I wouldn't expect much improvement. Our far stronger playing list and depth should give us more protection if the plague continues.

Different poster from the previous two.


Voss is really involved culturally but is empowering his line coaches to manage their players and report up to him, delegating to them how to achieve the directives he sets. Apparently, the players are really liking the structure and clarity of it

Very different from the previous regimes where players before were often told to do things by different people all over the club.

I think for the whole of group, this is a positive step, but have one concern and that is players who get asked to change roles then having to re-establish a relationship with the new line coach who might approach their coaching in a completely different manner. In the off-season, this isnt an issue, but if there is to be a week-to-week change (e.g Williams is now a defender instead of a mid), then I'm interested to see how this structure plays out.

Wouldn't this always be the case though?

It seems Voss is telling them what he wants and how to achieve it, so the methodology shouldn't be too different, only the communication style.

I don't understand why teams switch coaches around the lines every year though. Seems that is more about developing coaches for their own futures than maintaining a settled side.

Yes and no. If the new approach has a more regimented and seperated structure, the differences could be more stark than the usual structure.

If there's no difference to normal, then the structure is unlikely to have any real impact.

cough, sorry?

 

[CJMB]

cough, sorry?

Go get tested

 

[thylacine60]

I shan't be told what to do by people who have my health and best interests at heart - never!!

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

cough, sorry?

It's true. The Myth Depth thread actually exists now.

 

[Wickzki]

Love the latest Bluemour. Goes right to the heart of what I posted a couple of months ago that the clarity of the message was so much better now than it had been.

Go Baggers!

 

[TENACIOUS]

Thought I'd pop in, it's been a while.

Any front runners for the final list spot, not even sure who is training with us...
Was hoping Leiu last year, is he impressing, or still in the running or anyone else?

Good to see you mate, seems like Leiu or JGM will get the gig in my opinion.

 

[azlou]

Go get tested

I was doing lawn bowls Tuesday night I was skipping and the opposing skip was coughing repeatedly like pretty bad
I said that sounds rough you don’t have covid do you sort of joking
He said na na I got tested I’m just waiting on the results I should be fine
It wasn’t till he turned around that saw the sh1t eating grin on his face
It was cold wet winding bloody miserable night for bowls

 

[Blueballs38]

I could understand what Ratten was doing, what his game plan was, how he set up play to make the most of the players he did have at his disposal..
I couldn't understand one word of Malthouse's absolute BS - his sentence structure an dlogic is actually non existant
and I knew Teague had no clue when he started trotting out inanities and a nonexistant game plan - the bloke had every person in AFL suggesting that perhaps he needs to tighten up defensive considerations - for two years and did absolutely nothing about it.

So yeah- Teague train won't be missed.

I think Voss will show us what this list is capable of, unfortunately we all got sucked in by the Teague train. Judd and his training wheel analogy was so spot on at the time and he got hammered for it.
Not taking a cheap shot at Teague here but as a head coach it was a woefully inept decision by the club to fold to the masses, me included, and give the gig to someone who, let’s be frank, was not going to cut the mustard.

Set the club back 2 years unfortunatel.

Maybe, but Teague’s inability to add a defensive element to the team was ridiculous. How many 5+ goal runs did the opposition have last year on us? Was embarrassing and the fact he never addressed it, even after being brought up countless times at the after match pressers … just frightfully terrible coaching.

There was no doubt better coaching combinations than Carlton in 2021. But with a fully fit Charlie, Gov, Cripps, Doc, Williams, Martin, Saad, Cunners, Marchy all available, we would have played finals.

No doubt there was some public momentum in favour of Teague but was also player intervention. You have to wonder why and how players have become so influential in decisions about coaches - like at Cricket Australia also.
Players have a clear conflict and while consultation is understandable, it seems they have way to much power.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Dont agree with any of this stuff on Teague.
Thanks is what should be flowing.
The club was floundering and he put his hand up. The club gave him a chance.
He got a lousy deal of the cards with injury and covid and an immature unbalanced list that was bereft of belief or confidence.
Tried his best and there's a very long list of sporting coaches worldwide with bigger names that have failed.

And bad pressers too..

you mean like the 5 goal runs that happened under bolton, malthouse, ratten, pagan? like those ones?
