Coach Fages and the coaching group

[Elixuh]

Or if kozzy pings Harris for holding the ball or Joyce handballs to nobody then Lester knocks it straight to kozzy

That was a deft tap to Kozzy, big O take note

 

[buttermuffs]

Fages seems to be coaching really well at the moment. Noticeable how many of our players acknowledge him in their media interactions...

His pressers have gotten so much better that it’s time to consider showing one to Levi.

Who woulda thought Logan Morris would make that much difference

Yeah, we haven’t missed Darcy Gardiner in the forward line at all.

 

[luthor]

Yeah, we haven’t missed Darcy Gardiner in the forward line at all.

He would have been handy as a defender though.

I didn't think Joyce was as bad as some are saying last night but Darcy would be have been clearly a better option

Absolutely. He’s hard at it and he plays mean, niggardly football. Fit, he’s a good back up for Lester and would be in the side rather than Joyce, if Payne is not available.

Out of interest I had a look at our win/loss percentage since we came good in 2019.

We are 85-35-1 in the H&A season.
We are 5-6 in finals.

So all up 90-41-1 since the start of the 2019 season, a winning percentage of 68.2%.

Pity we were running at about 20% for the 2 years prior.

Fages also coached his 100th win for the club against Melbourne out of 177 for a 56.78% record.

Take out those first two years when he was building us up and it’s a pretty insane record.

Fagan, Dew & Simpson is the ultimate coaching panel.

I meant to come here to say I thought Fages' press conference last night was outstanding. Pleased to get the win but clearly recognised there's still a lot we need to get right, such as our transition defence, and making more of our chances around goal.

Previous years if we had a game like that we'd probably get a staunch defence of the performance and a healthy serving of bristling to go with it. This was a world removed: realistic yet positive at the same time. I'm sure the conversations inside the club at the moment are similar and perhaps even more robust. Big fan.

And the way we play has changed in-season quite markedly from being so dour, stodgy and low scoring (at both ends) to fast and attack-driven (at both ends), to me clearly demonstrates that (a) our coaches can indeed coach and (b) our players are pretty coachable. Now to find that balance between attack and defence, as Fages mentioned.

We should definitely show that presser to Levi and then he will definitely want to come to the Lions next year. Am I doing it right?

You'd imagine Clarko would be all over him like a cheap suit. Obviously they worked together at Hawthorn and also former team mates at North.

But certainly wouldn't complain about the above arrangement. Soft cap might get interesting...

Going to pay Dew and Simmo by robbing people with BRAB in Nerang.

Surely we can just give them Nerang. Hey it works for Geelong right?

Let's just say Simmo and Dew will be VERY happy in Springfield

 

[irel]

We'll house them at 740 and 744 Evergreen Terrace.

Interesting definition of a failed coach

Would Simmo jeopardise his million dollar payout for 2025, by taking up an assistant job?

Or would WC be on the hook for the difference between his assistant coach salary and the balance of his payout?

He can take a voluntary 12 month 15 hours a week placement as an assistant without jeopardising his Centerlink payments and his million dollar payout.

Easy, make it happen Fages.

Depends on the wording of his contract and payout. Taking a new job should not result in the loss of benefits from the previous one. I don't believe non-competes exist in the AFL world, although they're also not generally enforceable in Australia anyway.

Fair dinkum? I have a few colleagues and ex-colleagues in the finance sector who would probably be interested in this!

I did an intro to contract law in uni, so I am by no means an expert but from memory, it comes down to it being illegal for an employer/ex-employer barring someone from plying their trade/expertise to earn a living.
