Interesting timing to post this with JLo's photo. Do assistants normally get that kind of recognition?
Maybe it's the Vic media's preference (JLo) versus the WA media preference (Sumich).

That's good but hardly world beating collection of sides prior to Geelong
I'd be more interested in his performance as a forward coach. That's where we need work.

If we do get Longmuir let’s just hope it’s only the opposition that gets a low score. Defense is great and all but we don’t need another Ross Lyon otherwise we may as well of kept him lol
Impressive
the irony of people lauding Jlo's performance as a backline coach after bitching and moaning about how Ross needed to go because he played too negative.
Oh and Jlo coaches for the team that just won one of the lowest scoring finals in recent memory in perfect conditions.

He was The Wiggles Fwd coach from '11-'16. They made the finals most of those years.
J-Lo isn't the coach of Collingwood, he's the backline coach. I don't know exactly how line coaches work in relation to the rest of the coaching staff, but surely if Collingwood's defense is organised and performing well then the team as a whole will restrict the opposition scoring.
Just because he has the defense organised and playing well doesn't translate to 'he's a defensive coach', that's just the task he's been set.
There's nothing wrong with being solid in defense, the problem for us was the other end of the ground. You'd think if someone can organise and structure one end of the ground, those management skills can translate to other areas and the rest of the coaching staff as a whole.
Of course we won't know until they are given the chance, but that goes for all assistants progressing into a senior role.

Not trying to down play jlo influence here but we’ve just sacked one of the modern day great defensive coaches.
That’s not this teams issues.
What the team is crying out for is some efficient, cohesive forward structure .
10 minutes is soon. Will it be announced in the next 4 minutes?

what is your thoughts on the eagles forward line?
he played a big part in setting that one up
In reality, head coaches and their assistants contribute across the game plan. The 'area of coaching' I suspect is just for accountability during training and setup. Can you imagine coaches on the same team saying to one another 'sorry mate, stick to your area I'll stick to mine..'? They would discuss everything between themselves.
It's certainly a good sign.

JK and Darling have both publicly stated Jlo was a monumental reason for their cohesion and forward line patterns. Ironically, our next coach and the one who most of us really want (myself included) would be the bloody bastard who helped set up those flogs up the roads last flag. Just another case of poetic Freo happenings.

if he can create something from that literal potato Darling, imagine what he could do with Tabs, Cam Mac, Hogan & Lobb
I would literally have Darling before all those except Hogan....just wish our recruiters weren't PITTiful.

Must be a case of lying realestate agents
He was also our forward coach in 2010 when we made finals after 3 year hiding
I must’ve forgotten that or didn’t know. I didn’t think he was ever an assistant with us, just a development coach.
I think you are right, not assistant
