Rumour Future of the club (Bevo, board, assistant coaches, football department)

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

So many apparent good options to get to help Beveridge. If the club believe he’s the man, it’s pretty clear we need to get a Cameron or Dew in to help. Can’t keep trying to strike gold with these assistant coaches from nowhere.

 

[TheBont]

He isn’t going anywhere is he guys?

 

[Brian Perrin]

I don’t share that concern.

Leon being close personally to those he played with might help him point out issues with our structures internally (and on the field) that others may be more wary of doing.

The man has spent multiple years away from the club both as a player and a coach - he will have independent thoughts and wont be being hired as a yes man - in any event he has far too much integrity to take that sort of role

There’s still time mate hold out hope, I think he’s gone and we’ll find out when the seasons fully done.

I am bloody nervous that we’re stuck with him though and with every day that goes past I get more nervous

 

[ossie_21]

And this is exactly what I didn’t want. Despite the credentials, he has a longgggg history with Bevo, Grant, Darcy etc.

It hasn’t happened yet but it feels like the club works in such a small circle and is only able to attract people based on pre-existing relationships.

I don’t think it would happen, pretty sure he didn’t want to move his family & he’s got a much less stressful role at the moment.

Either way, this isn’t like giving a recently retired player a job at the club straight away. He went away, got his accreditation and experience and if he’s suited for whatever role it may be, that’s all good. Being a former player doesn’t mean too much when he’s been away for like 20 years

At least we know from the leaked Minson audio that Cameron doesn’t mind telling the head coach to pipe down.

Apparently we went a little way down the path with him last year but he wanted to stay in NSW.

Deffinetly not one to mince words. He would probably be the perfect combo for Beveridge they're like yin and yang.
We could have our own good cop bad cop.

Or bad cop, bad cop if you’re a gossip columnist pretending to be an AFL journo.

There was a documentary recently (forgot what it was called) that followed around Cogs but I remember walking away being really unimpressed by Cameron. Seriously unimpressed.

I know it was a head coach role but it’s a worry when you can see what a new coach has achieved for the Giants already. He wasn’t getting the most out of his players there.

I deffinetly wouldn't want him as a head coach, he isn't a people person. Cameron can stay up in the box and let bev deal with the players.

 

[DogDays]

I saw purple early in the week making a statement in the show he does with Nat Edwards like “I’m not really going to comment on this” re pressure on Bevo. He’s obviously clued that his history makes any commentary a laughable bias, but any mental health issues of industry awareness would make sense too. Mind you they nailed poor old Dew to a cross good and hard. Ruthless these bloody journos but the first ones to arc up when they cop it back. Such bullshit.

More likely Purple would be scared to piss at any AFL event if he went too hard.

Yeah ex senior coaches can be good, or seasoned assistants.

Bottom line is we need to cut his responsibilities and a safe pair of hands is needed for each assistant role. No more experiments.

My money is on Bevo coaching us next year.

Then it will be just the some old crap next year

She thought that growing a moustache was a sign he was unfit to coach.

Won’t someone think of the children!!!!

Documentary was called Marking Their Mark. It’s on Amazon Prime

And Cameron definitely came off badly. Matthew Nicks seemed an even bigger flog.

 

[chop0205]

Throw a motza at Caracella and Chaplin as assistants, move Lade to director and get Bevo to add some Basil to the Napoli on on the Bench

 

[geoffjennings79]

Maybe 'Baker' is being brought in to teach the playing list how to f***ing kick?!

In which case, get him in there pronto, add Lindsay Gilbee

The guy knows success though at least as an assistant - coached under Rocket for our run, under Clarko for the Hawks run and whilst you could argue he had the Giants underperforming he still took them to a granny once.

That’s the sort of experience we need in our coaching panel, and failed coach doesn’t mean they can’t be an asset to a club only need to look at the impact Pyke, Leppitsch, Bolton, Richardson etc are having now.

He makes perfect sense as an older, experienced hard nosed right hand man to a fresh first year coach IMO.

Imagine we went into next year with say Carr (or Yze, Chaplin whoever) alongside Cameron & Lade as the experience and then some younger freshly retired line coaches to round it out

Take this with a grain of salt but heard from one of my mates at a real estate firm that Matt Spangher's resume ended up in his inbox this week.

My great concern is that the strategy may be ineffective because ... Bevo.

The only way it works is if he totally buys into the solution which means accepting his most notable shortcomings (tactical inferiority, control freak, inability to recognise the harm repeated errors are causing, selection and player development clangers, etc) and changing his behaviour accordingly.

You can surround him with the 10 best coaches of the last 2 decades but if he won't give them any autonomy or accept their advice it's going to be useless. An expensive calamity.

Okay so only a couple of minor shortcomings then? That should be easy enough
