Team of Uncoachables

[MPMonkeys]

I’m trying to come up with a team of players who if you were a coach would give you a headache each week - either off field or on field.
Note - some of these listed are great players but either they do what they want on field, don’t follow instructions or off field present constant problems.

Adelaide: J Rachele, R Laird
Brisbane: L Mcacarthy, E Hipwood
Carlton: A Saad, C Marchbank
Collingwood: I Quaynor
Essendon: J Stringer, B McKay, S Draper
Fremantle: N Fyfe
Geelong: R Stanley
Hawthorn: C Jiath, J Ginnivan
Kangaroos: J Stephenson
Melbourne: C Oliver
Port Adelaide: C Rozee, B Zerk Thatcher
Richmond: S Bolton
West Coast: T Kelly
Sydney: A Francis, L McDonald
St Kilda: J Higgins
Bulldogs: B Smith, A Naughton
Gold Coast: B Humphrey
GWS: A Cadman

Lol wot???

 

[Chief]

I don't know about Marchbank, but Saad??

 

[MPMonkeys]

I don't know about Marchbank, but Saad??

Thought process with Saad is he gets the ball and nobody knows where the hell he is going.
Love him as a player but as a coach he would drive you mental.

Maybe 5 years ago. Saad is one of our most reliable defenders and rarely goes on his long runs anymore.

Terrible take and a terrible list

Brisbane: L Mcacarthy, E Hipwood

Thoughts

McCarthy and Hipwood sacrifice their game to play their role and are exceptional team first players, neither of them has been in trouble off field from what I can recall.

I reckon behind closed doors a lot of the “gun” midfielders that get frothed over in the media would be an absolute nightmare to coach. More focused on their game, not working defensively etc

 

[Freomaniac]

Tarryn Thomas

I would of Said Mark Jacko Jackson as well.

 

[Robroy22]

Any such team without Phil Carman.....is a joke.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

George Rudolph the Godfather of this team. Took a one handed mark and KO'd an umpy while holding a smoke in the other hand. Then slotted a major and picked up the umpire.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Fyfe? Please...

 

[The 4th Horseman]

Naughtons role this year was turned into a selfless one, bringing other teammates into the game with his one percenter efforts.

The idea of the thread is fine but this is way off the mark. Laughable in fact.

 

[cherrypie]

Bulldogs: B Smith, A Naughton

Naughton changed his position when requested by the coach. He’s also changed how he plays to accommodate for Darcy and JUH, does so much more running to create space for the other talls and provides great pressure on the ground. Not sure how he’s uncoachable

Probably could not have picked two players who sacrifice their own game more for the team than McCarthy and Hipwood.

What a strange, strange list.

I think it's a very good list.

I understand what you are saying .

Only player I'd remove from that list is Cadman. Young emerging fwd coming along nicely. Doesn't do enough but too early to judge him yet.

Thoughts

It's an interesting idea.
I don't know enough about many of the teams, but for my team surely it must be Toby who, we all acknowledge has gifts, and his particular devils. While the commentatoe community is fully supportive and even hagiographical about him, I think his captaincy on the field is flawed, and he continues to make foolish decisions.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Well he can't get a game for starters so obviously your coach not super impressed with his on field.

OP said on field OR off field.

What rubbish, the only reason he’s missed games is that he’s had a string of soft tissue injuries.

 

[raskolnikov]

I'd like to nominate the whole Essendon team please.

 

[WillHayward]

I'd like to nominate the whole Essendon team please.

Entire Swans team as well really.

Coach's nightmare.

Thoughts

After the 2022 GF Chris Scott and the team were presented to fans on stage in Yarra Park. Scott told the crowd he shouldn’t admit that he had favourites and one of those was Rhys Stanley.
