Brett Allison returns

[UnbeZIEBELLBLE]

As assistant coach to look after the backline.

Comes highly rated after several years at Sydney under Paul Roos.

 

[gokangas]

Fruity news!

 

[spina#39]

Surprised he's come back. Paul Roos has a history of churning out good assistants.

 

[roobear]

Welcome back Fruity

I hope he doesn't do a Rocky and answer questions about returning to NMFC by saying the most important part was that it wasn't too far to drive there from his house.

why does it always have to be ex north people

 

[roobear]

By the way it's taken a full 32 hours since the end of trade week to announce this. What's going on in that place? :angry face rolling eyes thingy:

 

[The Other Dean]

Should make a great second banana.

Pathetic. Does the club know what my blood pressure went through these last 32 hours?

I don't think the ex North thing is somethin to be pissed about, has gone out and got some good experience elsewhere and hasn't been at the club for 10 years or so. I'm happy with it. Should work out better then Rocky

Didn't Rock do the same until he came back to North last year?

I hope you're right none the less Jeza.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Oh no! He is going to bring the Sydney game plan to North for sure.

Nice work TOD

 

[budge11]

Should be a good acquisition

I thought Crocker was working with the back line?

 

[Long Live the King]

Interesting to see how this plays out with Allison.............just quietly I was hoping for Gavin Brown...........

 

[slider1978]

You wud think he would look after the forward line.
Was a very smart footballer who had a great technique kicking for goals.
Has learnt alot under roos and is highly rated in sydney so should be a good pick up.

We have 2 more assistant coaching vacancies

I would rather a card board cut out of Hansie Cronje to be an assistant at North then Shane O'Bree.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Fruity returning should lead to many happy campers in the new era.

Welcome back Fruity! (although surely the backline being your area of concern is a typo..........surely?)

 

[DarwinRoo]

Brad Scott was a backman in charge of the midfield.

Brad Scott was a backman in charge of the midfield.

So? Brad Scott was a HBF'er who spent time in the middle, particularly tagging the big names.

Fruity's an antibackman!

Is there a hard and fast rule that you have to coach the area where you played?

 

[Twinkletoes]

Is there a hard and fast rule that you have to coach the area where you played?

Is there a reason you have to post with one line questions without adding your own rebuttal? :winkey face:

There's no rule, YOU KNOW THAT (so why bloody ask?), but we have a coach who's developed the emerging backline to what it is today.........bloody promising. As long as Crocks is fine with coaching them going forward then he'd be my man for the role, unchallenged.

Fruity, on the other hand, would be deployed elsewhere.

Sean Wellman was a backman and was the forwards coach at WB.

 

[The Other Dean]

The Wizard Of Oz was, like, just a normal guy.

Shame on you, TT.
