New coach would have a say in all of this - I am sure that is what this is about.

We must have our guy.

 

[Footypie32]

It just seems odd to me that we re-sign assistants before announcing our new senior coach. Surely any new coach would want to put 'his' people around him? Just seems like we do things backwards sometimes.

Assume that we have our coach, club is keeping silent till after grand final week.

Not what I meant. I mean he hasn't even stepped in the door. Are you saying he's met with every member of the team already and knows how they operate and if he has a good rapport with them?

I think you meant rapport.

 

[hippyhippy]

Given we have 1 of the best ruckmen in the league...doesn't surprise.

I heartily suspect Don Pyke is coming, and he's already had a quick chat about what he wants.

Total guess though, I have no mail. As far as you know.

Interesting, interesting. So we need a new defensive coach? Pyke, will you bring Glass?

wonder if that another club for Jarrod Cotton is Sturt as the new Senior Coach?

Of course no, your point is good It appears to us fans that they have jumped the gun but quietly confident they'll bring in the right people that our new senior coach will work well with, hes surely given the tick to the changes so far.

You would hope so.

Just totally bemused how Burton can become our general manager of fitness etc is this how Fagan achieves the elite coaching team by picking a ex player not all that long out of game with a record of massive injury proportions at Brisbane.
Then golly we are giving Clarke another 2 seasons because Jacobs happens to be good but what of who gets the ball and who breaks clear from scrimmage or centre.

 

[betterthanu]

I think we should bring in a backman coach to teach the art of one on one defending (glass would be great if hes avaliable) but also a team defense coach. Their sole job is to drill in the structures for us to defend as a whole. If its our biggest weakness then i think it warrants a specific coach.

 

[texanmike]

I have been wanting this for years I wish they would hire Darren Jarman as goal kicking coach, Teague has evidently been great for the forward line structure but we need DJ to come in and teach the boys how to kick. "dreaming"

one being the key word there, hasn't been able to improve a single one outside of Jacobs since he's been here.

We have ROB!

ROB was runner up B+F in the 2's

 

[Tex Support]

Noticed Fagan referred to his plans for 'a best-in-league elite coaching group' again in last week's media.

Made me think last year that we had names lined up to slowly fold in over a few seasons. Obviously replacing the senior coach wasn't part of that, but it would be interesting to find out if the new team in 2016 haven't been targeted from well back...

Glass in as a full timer for example, might have been something planned. Maybe even Burton?

He has been, at least once - maybe twice.

Didn't help with goalkicking though

 

[FantasticShirt]

Head coach wouldn't necessarily have complete say over assistants. Campo was a sure thing to stay on provided he wanted to. Clarke seems okay.

I'd say they've had serious discussions with whoever is in the "lead" to be appointed and flagged likely assistants. Still gives the new head to potentially have a say in a couple of assistants.

 

[Smithtastic33]

Correct. 2003/04 IIRC

We have tried that before. Didnt work. You can't teach what just comes naturally as it did with Jars.

Kicking is a repetitive skill. You only get better by actually doing it. DJ or any coach can only show them so many times. They just have to go and do it.

I hope we set the players some KPI's over the summer. Like kick it 1,000 times a week and hit the target every time or have 250 shots on goal every week as extra practice. That is the only way they will get better.

I don't agree. What makes you say this ?
