Strategy Our Next Senior Coach: 2019 & Beyond... is Matthew Nicks

[Mego Red]

This utter bulls**t...

Fagan and Noble have known each other for over 30 years dating back to their days in the TFL and have been quite close for over 3 decades. Noble was in a big way instrumental in getting Fagan to the Lions whether you want to believe it or not.

It seems your unhealthy hatred of all things David Noble knows no bounds.

You have to ignore the opinions of plodders like 1970Crow on Noble.

Without really knowing anything, they made their mind up about Noble, and now the whole footy industry keeps pointing out they were wrong, they're just doubling down on what they originally thought. They can't look past their existing biases.

We need to look at west coasts pattern in the league. They are the only ones to compare because they aren’t in Victoria.

They make finals and win a flag but once they aren’t in contention, they bottom out and start again. Their board make those decisions with the coaches and come back stronger again.

Our board has never made that decision, we have been good or really mediocre and never brought in elite talent.

The big picture is whoever the new coach is must be all on the same page as the board. Sounds simple but not lately with our board.

...
There's 18 teams in the competition, all else being equal you should win a premiership every 18 years. Its not equal, but for me, that's needs to be your average, your benchmark. If you're not doing that, some serious questions need to be asked.
...

I think things are a long way away from things being equal that you can throw the 1 premiership every 18 years goal out the window.

Clubs have different drafting, development, coaching and admin personnel with differing abilities, different histories leading up to where things are today, different supporter bases. There are different populations and growth in different states

Then you have the AFL stirring things up with start up clubs with draft concessions although they have tried to even things up with the draft and priority assistance. And some clubs manage to build dynastically strong lists that have a good chance pf winning multiple cups back-to-back.

Footy industry rated Trigg highly too. Everyone is rated highly, right up until the moment they’re canned. Just look at our results under him, it tells the story for you. Bicks is trying to say that Noble was instrumental in getting Fagan to Brisbane. He was appointed a week after Noble, he had very little to do with it, hiring coaches is not a one week job.

Scott Burns will be our next coach.

Lock it in

Burns with Lyon as senior assistant would be a better than expected result.

 

[douglyzia]

Forget about Mitchell. The guy broke his contract with the Eagles to head back to Melbourne, and has openly stated how much he hated coming to Adelaide to play.

He's not moving from Melbourne.

 

[IntelligentFish]

Reckon Blighty would have up for another crack?

 

[Crouch#44]

Harvey is the best bet at this stage

 

[Brett Cummings]

Why do some clowns here want burns as coach? Never won any premierships. Blake caracella won 2. Was an assistant coach at geelong when they won a flag and same thing at richmond. He's the best option by far.

Had Clarkson won premierships?

 

[Brett Cummings]

Had Clarkson won premierships?

Very rare that happens. I'll take premiership experience as a player and assistant coach over no premiership experience thanks.

 

[crow1980]

From what I hear Michael Voss has been asked if he'd be interested in putting his hand up to go through the selection process.

I don’t mind that! I think he would build great relationships! I think he deserves a second chance!

 

[Golumless]

Premiership experience as a player has no correlation with being a successful coach.

Good thing he's been part of premierships as an assistant coach and is very highly rated. He was part of the coaching team that flogged us in the grand final.

Lee Tudor's name was bantered around a few years ago for a senior possie. What's up with him these days?

Was similar to when Brian Royal's name kept coming up for every job in the early 2000s, eventually you miss out on so many jobs that you become irrelevant.

Hinkley was on the verge of suffering a similar fate until Port coulf find anyone to coach them so they gave him a lifeline.

Sando won a couple of premierships as a coach too.

 

[crow1980]

Wasn’t

Given he interviewed so poorly last time Im not sure he will be invited back

My understanding is that he was well under prepared when he interviewed for Pyke'role

was it when Craig was sacked not when we appointed Pyke?

 

[Brett Cummings]

Sando wasnt even bad. He just made some mistakes such as not treating every player equal.

 

[Stone Sour]

I kind of like the idea of a young coach but with a senior assistant with years of experience that isn't Campo.

 

[kirky]

Had Clarkson won premierships?

Yes, won the 2001 SANFL GF but in saying that as a WWTFC supporter any team winning a flag against us doesn’t count as we lose to everyone it comes to GFs.

So you’re comfortable with the fact that we haven’t won a premiership in 20 years?

Not our fault. Bad luck and the AFL’s our to get us?

Winning a premiership’s not easy, but 1 in 18 years is not an unreasonable expectation as a measuring stick for an average result, certainly if you want to term yourself a “successful” club.

 

[Mismatched]

Had Clarkson won premierships?

2004 at Port? I think he took over Hawthorn the next year.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

I reckon Ross has been unlucky as a coach, but he’s not the right fit for us. Only way I’d consider bringing him in, is if we get a younger coach and get Ross to be a senior assistant for a year or two.

 

[Mismatched]

Sando wasnt even bad. He just made some mistakes such as not treating every player equal.

Yeah he was, had one trick, took over a highly drilled yet overwhelmed team, simplified the gameplay to win contested ball and bomb it forward to Tippett and Tex. Players responded well to this. When Tippett left and clubs worked our gameplan out, he had no answer.
