Coaching Staff Senior Coach: John Worsfold - Thank you John

[BrunoV]

Which truth would that be?

The one that we're shit and need to change the side.

 

[Phone]

So our line coaches focus on their line. That seems... pretty sensible.

The one that we're shit and need to change the side.

Broadly agree, the complexity comes from the fact that our team is less than the sum of its parts because it’s unbalanced. Has been the case for years.

Fundamental to the club getting itself on track is realising the simple fact that you have to find the 22 that plays best together, not force fit the 22 best players.

It’s pretty simple but it seems to have eluded us for a long time. Clubs like Hawthorn, Sydney and Geelong seem to understand this.

Interesting that Neeld really played only small part of setting strategy

In some ways it would be reassuring if he had played a larger role in strategy as it now looks like Woosha is pretty much solely responsible for what we've seen so far this season.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

So our line coaches focus on their line. That seems... pretty sensible.

Yeah it does but you also need to be aware what’s going other parts of the ground as well. Also train and implement so everyone on same page. Does what back coach interpret and train the same page as midfield? Not that simple

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Feel his strength is he knows how to build a team plus the coaching and support staff and empower people to bring out their best.

If that’s his strength we’re in a bit of trouble, because after 8 rounds the club has just dismantled the structure he put in place because it was an absolute mess.

I didn't see anything massively different structurally, I just saw effort and the right people in the right places. Which is good, but in many ways more frustrating

Like Neeld not in the box?

That, and we actually had forwards in the forward line to kick the ball to

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

James Kelly, reckon he had some input would know the Geelong players strength and weaknesses.

 

[Duckworth]

LOL at Woosha's presser. (delivered with absolute deadpan) "Nah, I'm happy".

He gives them nothing.

 

[Learntopray]

We were going with even numbers around the ground more often than not. That is structurally a change at least.

Moving Hurley (forced) and Goddard away from their accumulating unaccountable roles was good. When Goddard had fewer possessions early, we looked much better.

I thought it was pretty shit TBH.

 

[eDPS]

I really liked Woosha’s presser, the pressure isn’t off yet and he knows their is still a lot of work to do

 

[WEEVZ]

Good to see him not giving the media anything. He's right the hard slog is only just beginning, one win (as good as it was) doesn't mean that we've turned the corner. We need to back that up every week over 4 quarters.

He's clearly lost a lot of respect for the media over the last week or two.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

My impression was that he was really pissed off.

that did stand out

 

[Duckworth]

My impression was that he was really pissed off.

You can tell by his eyebrows. When he's up for a chat with the media his eyebrows say 'open for business'. Today was not one of those days.

 

[West World]

In Woosha you should trust.

Told ya

 

[Mercurial89]

In Woosha you should trust.

Told ya

Paitience isnt most footy fans strong point.

Just hope he is given every chance to build what he wants.

 

[CBombers17]

Would have been difficult circumstances given he wasn’t thrilled with Neeld being moved on. He was entitled to be a little subdued.

The other reason to temper any enthusiasm for this win is that playing group has been let off the hook a bit in terms of media laying some blame for recent perfomance on the coaching staff and structures.

Until the team can perform like this without media pressure or release there’s not a huge amount to be pumped about anyway once the excitement of the win settles.

 

[Falcon27]

James Kelly, reckon he had some input would know the Geelong players strength and weaknesses.

Kelly should still controlling our back line as a player in hindsight, but that’s history now.
Whatever the outcome this year, he should be the only assistant that survives. He’s got the smarts to offer a lot moving forward.

 

[Doss]

I thought it was pretty shit TBH.

Why?

I'm not an advocate of people being a dick for the sake of it, but after some of the coverage recently I'm also not at all about to criticise Worsfold for giving the media nothing.
