AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Looking at the weekends game, appears a few kids back up and played both Friday and Saturday in the 19's and ressies - So they're really just hanging on at the moment trying to avoid forfeits.
North could beat Mont I reckon.
Apart from immediate family, I doubt many if any will go to Lalor.
Good job getting there, but 1 from 4 GF’s was an underachievement. From what I saw he was out coached. You know the oppositions strengths and weaknesses before you go into the game and you hatch a plan.
How do you rate Chopper ?
That's why it was a huge loss for North. Could have 100% beaten Montmorency, especially if Mont rested players for the first final the following week, knowing they can't move on the ladder.
Don The Sash interested in your coaching credentials Don
North at their best are capable.
I’ll always respect that Mac were so good over that stretch without a big chequebook or ex AFL names to get there
6 blokes at training and just lost by 300 points. Must be offering them a fortune to even consider that.
No way this is true. There's 2s are horrible. I'm sure Lance will have a few players. But it's a big big job.
Just an opinion Thunder
I’d probably have to say he’s out of his depth with some shortcomings. But Ramsay won something like one Div 1 flag in 10 years or so, so based on that you’d have to say Ryan has got quite a few more opportunities to be as equally successful, wouldn’t you?!
Don The Sash we can all have opinions
There's a difference between being a good coach and having a good list. Interesting who people think have been the best coaches over time.I’d probably have to say he’s out of his depth with some shortcomings. But Ramsay won something like one Div 1 flag in 10 years or so, so based on that you’d have to say Ryan has got quite a few more opportunities to be as equally successful, wouldn’t you?!
Go and stand at the footy with Gary Massey for an hour. He will tell you he's the greatest coach ever in the DVFL/AFL/VFL.
Coached an U9 basketball team to an undefeated season once. Does that impress you Thunder?

Yeh I agree. They were in contention for 4 years. 2 of those years another team were red hot favourites. So to win 1 is still a great effort. His credentials compared to alot of the other Div 1 coaches now is pretty damn good.Don The Sash team tattoos
My opinion is that I don’t think you have any elite credentials or any credentials to comment about coaching.
The guy is well respected, I think his record at Macleod is one that gives him a lot of credits. 4 grand finals with one flag is more than what many thought of the list they had. Made a good side very good and made them believe that they could compete.
I have no doubt he would have loved another flag or two but not many have his overall record
But like you said, it’s a forum and opinions based so you call it as you see
nosecondprize and most likely did it on a much smaller budget then the Bundoora, Heidelberg and West Preston’s of that time
100% definitely Bundoora and Heidelberg. He did get lucky with such a talented junior group coming through all at the same time. But you still have to develop and coach them. Can't think of many players they would have gone out and brought.
Surely, his son heads to Lalor, and I wouldn't be surprised if a few Doggies reserve players head to the bloods as well. If I were Lance, I'd be having a little whisper in the ear of Shane Harvey
Ramma was more than a good coach at Macleod. He was very tactical, changed the game style and developed the kids to made them compete in D1 for a sustained period. Once the players bought into the plan, the belief that they could actually win a flag was evident. We knew we didn't have a gun Ruckman, but Longy was lion hearted, gave his all competed very well against the best.
I'm not sure Lance would think its in his sons best interest to go to the worst team in DIV. 3 whether he is the coach or not.
