Banyule coach sounds like a real hardass.
Dan Owen was in the 2s in their practice match for missing a couple of sessions.
James Kayrooz (training with Carlton VFL) also had to play in the 2s for their practice match.

Considering half the league went to Europe last year, probably not the worst thing that a club is making their players take a week or two of time in the magoos. Maybe that's the grumpy old bastard in me

All well and good making statements to the group (if that is what was intended) in practice matches when there are not points on the line. But during the season, we'll see.

rumor has it... banyule coach told young lad Cameron he has a shocking character and poor communication skills. Damian former (VFL coach) also told him there more focused on building a good culture then winning? could be good for the club.
great get for lions as hes on coburgs list.

I've heard similar. I even heard that he showed up to his house just to spit on his dog too

Eltham played Parkside WRFL today.
Panthers by 6 or 7 goals.

Mont 10 goals over Sth Croyden.
In the Salary Cap Cup Tigers 8 points over Keilor.

How close to full strength were the sides in the cash clash?

How close to full strength were the sides in the cash clash?

Think both sides were close to full strength and if Bergs had anyone missing it would have been a couple of their VFL listed players ie Wilson. Also Gilmore only played the second half.

Sounds like it would have been a good game of footy.

Would be cool if there was some sort of local footy premiers comp to get some competitive battles between clubs from different leagues.

Box hills best two from Friday nights game were from Heidelberg so they had probably their 3 best out of you include Wilson.

Any practice games this weekend?

 

[NorthernBastard]

Balwyn vs H-Berg

Balwyn vs H-Berg

Heidelberg's practice games have been like a salary cap cup round robin

Mate you can't do this as a coach, you have to work with players especially talented ones. It just becomes a bunch of Egos ranting at each other like Barrasi and Zantuck. Its not the 1970s any more, you have to work with kids, especially talented ones to get the best out of them. How does he know what is going on in these kids back life, with his parents, girlfriend, mental illnesses, if the kid is on ant-depressants that are subscribed by a doctor. Say Oxycodone

You can't throw the baby out with the bathwater any more.

That is not modern coaching.

Coach is paid to make calls, some may not agree, you certainly don't but his record says he knows more than you and me.

Sometimes wokeness in coaching makes everyone feel good and happy but is not in the interest of actually being a successful club. Time will tell if his approach works but again, his record seems to say he has the right to coach the way he feels.

Also, if you know a Doc prescribing Oxy for depression you may need a new doctor.

Do you know the story or just going off big footy mumbo jumbo?

Good strong clubs make calls on poor character all the time. Not sure why you think that’s not “modern coaching”
