Says he isnt going to change the gameplan much.
Surely after watching Brisbane and Collingwood eliminate their 'freewheeling' opponents and produce the first close fought GF in years, Rhodes has got to realise that accountable, contest-oriented play is the way to win finals footy?
Scott Cummings will probably be looking for his fifth clubOriginally posted by jim440
Rohde actually used the term "accountability" tonight as he was discussing the midfield
He also said he would be looking for tall forwards

I think because Rhode was the head of development of the younger players a few of the older guys may be in a bit of trouble.Some very tough decisions need to be made on the list and soon.I hope Rhode proves me wrong and turns out to be the guy who will make the tough decisions.At the moment I fear he may be too close to some of the players to make the decisions required.

These are gameplans honed by multi-premiership winning coaches, not "match day" tacticians like Wallace and Eade.
Is it coincidence that Pagan, Blight and Matthews, who account for most of the recent premierships between them play contest oriented, long kicking, direct footy?

As if we would pick up an overweight, finished full forward.....
Jakovich, Cook....
Oh my God!
I hope that doesn't mean that we will still see the hand of Wallace in Rohde's coaching. We want to see some different approaches, not the same stuff recycled. Friendship is one thing, but this is Rohde's big chance to make a name for himself. I bet Terry wasn't calling up Alan Joyce every few days for advice.Originally posted by Turtleman3
Just finished.
He also stated that he still talks with Terry Wallet several times a week and will use him as a resource down the track.
