Mr and Mrs Davis little boy

Well you dont need a name in this position, you need someone with a record. So hats off, sounds like a great get.

Murrray Davis....Murray Davis!!!!
I see it....but I don't believe it!!!

How can you not remember that moment?

 

[FR0GGY]

He’s got Murray Davis Eyes

 

[dogs105]

Whose Murray Davis?

Ours now, it seems.



Or did you mean Who's?

 

[Danger in Texas]

I think he was the Red Wiggle

You're right it's 'Who's'. But, like John Belushi, I have an excuse.

'I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!'

He had an international Tennis cup named after him.

 

[Stephen2]

great actor!

A shame he's passed away, but that probably still makes him better at coaching than Nicks, so it might help

Could have just claimed Fake News and alternative facts

One of our top targets for the position

A rookie coaching director to oversee a rookie coach

Yeah that too

Firstly the title misspell is annoying.

Secondly. A lot to complain about this club. But this appointment is fine. Need to let this play out and see before we make judgements.

Saw the Blues Brothers at the cinema recently. Some guy at the front quoted out loud every word of that but was behind by 2 seconds

A rookie coaching director to oversee a rookie coach

An assistant coach elevated to director of coaching? Can these appointments await the outcome of the Wright pursuit?

If you google him, he's been Brisbane's forward coach in the two seasons they made the GF and has been an assistant in various roles there since the Voss era, notably developing Harris Andrews

when coaching defense. Has apparently won AFLCA assistant coach of the year and placed high in that award multiple times. Seems like one of those long term assistant coach types who flies under the radar.

Yes assignment coach and hasn’t Godden recently won similar awards?

Davis also won NEAFL coach of the year, winning the premiership with the NT Thunder.

A bit disorientating i would imagine. Its like double vision for the ears.

 

[El Doederino]

He doesn’t have an unaccountable role in the media where he can swipe from the bleachers and pinpoint the obvious which gets uploaded to my brain via social media while the footy public piles on about how right he is, so I don’t want him.

Surprised he got even half way through it without copping a punch in the back of the head.

Hired for the good vibes and a nice personality like his son Ben

 

[SA_Great]

TBH I'm just happy to see some movement in the coaches' box, and not just in response to good assistants leaving.
