Anyone know much about Adam Kennedy? Not knocking the guy but is a recently retired player the best choice as a development coach? Reads more as a mentor than skills development.

News to me

So how are you so quick

Don't tell him Adnico26Parker! You know what they say about magicians!

 

[Callipygian]

Singh looks like a quality appointment - very experienced. I particularly like that he has lots of experience working with Indigenous and multicultural communities because we need to get more diversity into our players (and, incidentally, at board level - don't think it's so much of an issue with the other staff).

Anyone know much about Adam Kennedy? Not knocking the guy but is a recently retired player the best choice as a development coach? Reads more as a mentor than skills development.

Development coaches are a lot more about mentoring than skills I think. Brett Kirk is in charge of development but also 'Wellbeing' which shows how development is not merely (or even primarily) about developing skills. The article does say "Kennedy will spend most of his time mentoring the club’s 1st–3rd-year players."

I think the performance and line coaches are more the ones that work on skills. It's valuable to get a player with recent experience (and a long career) as a development coach. It's also not that easy to do because they are taking a big cut in salary. I imagine our extensive links with GWS created the opportunity but also very good intel on whether he was a suitable recruit. (There has been so much crossover between the clubs in the past couple of years - of which I think we have come out in front.)

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Look like good changes. I echo the point on getting more diversity in.

I wonder if any other coaches will be incoming? As it stands it looks like we are down one line coach with McVeigh going to reserves but up one cross cutting coach with Kennedy coming in. We did go after Dew, so I suspect they we still seeking a new line coach?

Wouldn't want him

[strauchanie59]

Love the Kennedy appointment. Bloke had to fight and scrap each year for his GWS career. If he's teaching our 1st-3rd year players about resilience, not taking anything for granted and the game as a whole, there might not be anyone better than him to do it.

Harmit Singh played for Castlemaine this year.

McPointy has been appointed as reserves coach. I think most would agree about the development issues. O'Riordan is in the AFLW group.

I hope so because nobody seems to have gotten better under Truslove. I see Adam Kennedy comes in as Development Manager. That is good, He has just retired so knows the problems.
