Coach Fages and the coaching group

[martinson]

No surprises in selection obviously. I agree with Fages this is a must win game. We're getting the Bulldogs off a season high with an extra week's break so I'd be very surprised if we're not right in this match.

They'll come out with the adrenalin still pumping after last week , just need to stick with them .

We're all waiting for the team to come good , our performances have been overall poor this year and not beaten anyone of note so this week we'll get a good guide as to where we're at.

I pot him when we lose so will congratulate Fages on good coaching this week - had a plan for bont, and while bont is such a freak that he still had almost 20 and kicked 3, we won the game in the first half on the back of how we set up to negate him.

Stewie Dew take a bow. One week in (only one session)
Imagine what he can do if he was in Fages' position?

Sack Fagan, now.

When you watch Bont live you realise he can’t ever fully be stopped. If he played for a club with a more rounded list he’d have won multiple brownlows imo

Best player in the comp easily still, Petracca the only one that comes close on song. Daicos is excellent too (sadly) but reckon he's more someone you have to set up your team to help him thrive still whereas Bont is just awesome.

I'd go Bont, Petracca, Daicos, with Jeremy Cameron next. Curnow can join the conversation when he plays a good final.

Dew is a genius.

It’s this time of the week again. Another Fagan press conference and another week of speculation about whether Levi Ashcroft will not choose us because of it.

Do they mean traitor?
He is not in list management.

Yeah but like many Richmond fans, they didn't pay attention in school.

These are tongue in cheek I know, but missing a small (but important) point ...................... Stewie was ill and missed his first session this week.

Probably better to say "Wow, what sort of an impact might he have when he actually does start working with the players".

WOW, if Stewie can have this sort of impact from his sick bed, just imagine what he can do when he hits the ground Crusha.

Is Dew about to replace King Gunston in the pantheon of ex-Hawthorn deities amongst a certain subset of Lions Bigfooty posters.

Please say it aint so.

Does this mean we'll win 60% of the time 100% of the time?

 

[cotter101]

We had a plan and the players executed it. Our players and coaches are definitely capable - the dees game, this game and the last couple of years have proven that.

Dew and Cotchin coming in I think shows that we’ve realised we probably lacked on some of the tactical decisions and on field leadership.

Dew has always been highly regarded and even Dimma is finding just how hard it is trying to turn the Suns around. He’s great to provide advice to Fagan and obviously knows him well.

Cotchin is a great addition to the boundary and would be providing some incredible directions and feedback to the guys. Is he our non playing Luke Hodge?

Great to see the club actively seeking and implementing new things to drive us forward.

It's just my impression that Daly is the coach of the football side of things and Fagan is the HR man , public face , and builds the culture inside the club.

I know Hardwick was desperate to get Daly to the Suns .

It was interesting on Roaming Brian when he spoke to Daly, Daly said something along the lines of not having to speak too much to Fages this week

I think Daly is still just a sounding board for him

It's not what I hear from sources at other clubs. They seem to think Daly is the footy man.

It's also unusual that Fagan is always on his own either in the box or on the bench. I don't think Fagan gets too involved with training either. Either way nothing leaks from the club re this but it's interesting that we've brought Dew and Cotchin on board to some extent in recent weeks and we could see some changes in 2025.

 

[briztoon]

Daly replaced Noble, when he left. So has a very large off field role.

Not sure how much time he would have to be actively involved with day to day coaching.

 

[Grasshopper17]

also of note is that it was Daly making the announcements to the group about McCluggage / Reville’s extensions.

I'm 95% sure it is always Danny Daly who makes these announcements to the playing group. I can't remember anyone else doing this since, well, ever really.

Fages made a couple of announcements to the squad a couple of weeks ago but that was about blokes making their debut, which is obviously a different conversation to contract arrangements etc.

Necessary to being inconsistent, is that you need to win, as well as lose..

Suns are unbeaten at home this season, and were recently in the 8. I think thats big progress made very quickly. Dont know why you think Dimma is finding it hard?

Suns have some good kids coming through, and hopefully a crowd drawing superstar at the end of the year.

Would be great for QLD footy to have both clubs going well, and some real local rivalry.
