No Oppo Supporters General AFL Discussion #12 - Carlton Posters ONLY!

[Original Moody Blue]

Not neccesarily, with regards to no one wanting to coach North, and FWIW Voss pulled out of the running last week for the job.

David Noble (footy ops manager at Brisbane) is now favourite for the job, and I think He would very well be a decent appointment. Has been a shrewd operator around the league for a while now..

It will be a tough couple of years for North, but there is still some really good young talent to work with there.

Voss will not touch the Norf job. He is waiting to see what happens at Carlton next season. You may see him throw his hat in the ring if it all goes pear shaped in 2021.

It will be interesting to see whether Buckley survives at Collingwood next year. Lyon waiting in the wings.

Also - nice to see them treating the VFL like a serious comp. fu** muppets.

Yep, let's just make that transition even harder for the kids ...

 

[thylacine60]

Damn. People in earnest agreement with me, all over this thread.

This is a strange feeling.

disagree

Why not simply go for the basket case already available at Norf then? Gotta be less competition for that job, than for one with a list of good youngsters like ours.

, Justin Leppitsch and the Brendon Bolton to the Luke Beverage, Michael Fagan and the David Teagues of the world.

Nth will try to follow that formula, and so the next coach needs to be strong on messaging and development but is also super vulnerable if his team isn't up the ladder inside 3 seasons.

If Crazy Vossy goes to Norf, surely Fev follows.

Martin getting some money back

AFL, players reach agreement on pay cuts

Geelong recruit Jeremy Cameron and Carlton's Jack Martin head a list of players who will get a special compensation payment by the AFL because they sacrificed the most money in major pay cuts for 2020.

Cut should always have been based on average yearly wage of contracts.

Changing the number of rotations won't reduce congestion

Absolutely it will, reduces player ability to get up and down the ground all game.
AFL players can’t get much fitter than they are now, not allowing them to rest will mean less and less ability for complete 2 way running which is the number 1 reason for the congestion in the game

Change the number of rotations to 40 and Walshy will be a shoe in for the Brownlow

Remove the rotations totally and simply have normal player interchanges and shoe in for triple Brownlow Medlallist.

Would be incredibly surprised, and disappointed, should Teague be in the firing line next year. Would have to be a catastrophic season for that to eventuate.

And in the event there was a huge nosedive in 2021, I can't imagine we'd be looking at Voss, or any other "up and comer". We either back Teague, or we pony up for a Clarkson type.

We just can't keep switching in a newbie senior coach every few years and hoping one will provide instant success. More important for us to support Teague with highly capable assistants and let him learn as he goes.

Mids will rest forward

Best way to eliminate congestion/increase scoring is to tweak current rules

- No nominations for ruck contests

- Unless in a contested situation, last player to touch the ball before it goes out of bounds, free against

- Change back the rules on being able to use your hands placed in the back in marking contests

If they reduce rotations without the above, they will still wait for players to get into position for stoppages

Forwards run up and back as well, it’s not just mids, congestion is 36 players within 50 metres of the ball constantly

Hence moving the play naturally, by making slight amendments to existing rules

Imagine the surprise when Jack brings SOS along for his next contract discussions

I'd read that SOS had taken over the management of both Ben and Jack after his exit from the club. I'm having trouble recalling where I had read that though.

Why Swans are calling for an overhaul of draft bidding system

List manager Kinnear Beatson is proposing a change to the current system to prevent clubs bidding on players purely to force a rival to select them

www.afl.com.au

What a cheeky proposal by Beatson -
Asking the AFL to review matters around Academy players, whereby effectively if someone bids on them, the team with the player can then choose not to match and then get the very next pick in the draft.

Did he think this through?
