[Gydafud]

Beating Collingwood? I guess Sando didn't dream big enough.

 

[stabler]

Sando!

 

[Mkcaptain]

I've thoroughly enjoyed this. Hopefully the feedback is very positive so we get more shows like it. Its been nice to see a few coaches, especially the likes of Ross Lyon in a different light.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Leppa seems like a top bloke.

 

[Collingwood 4 eternity]

Chris Scott breaks it down

"We spend most of our time in a small room , or out there on the ground , talking footy"

"Like most other people out there (in their workplace) in between the important stuff"

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Looking forward to the DVD release of this cracker of a docu,, which hopefully has unaired footage as well.

Woo Hoo, Footy Marathon time now

 

[beez]

Love the fact that two coaches on opposite ends of my spectrum only reinforced my views on them. Malthouse will always be a self-absorbed douche and Lyon encapsulates all that I'd want a coach to be.

 

[Mark_K]

Man, watching that, i felt bad for Sanderson. Talking about how much he loves, he much he fears the day of his sacking.

Tough break.

Tough break.

Me too

Buckley's kids playing kick to kick, the Pies would be excited already.

First thing that came to my mind. Decent mark from the little one!

 

[spannerSM]

Round table of Parkin, Matthews, Barassi, Kennedy and Pagan. Wowee.

Watching them listen to their classic speeches.... wow. Such amaze.

 

[BACCS]

Lyon 'I'm not sure why there is such a rush to be a senior coach, the sooner you are in a job, the sooner you are fired'

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Was great viewing seeing coaching greats like Matthews,Parkin,Barrasi etc discussing what it takes to be a successful coach.

 

[Suspense]

This is the stuff that we went from 7 and the AFL.

It adds a rawness and heart back to the coaches and to the fans.

agree. for the bullshit that is ch 7 footy, credit where due; that doco was fantastic. found clarkson's comments on the introspection of senior afl coaching particularly fascinating.

old Barras footage is always great too.

 

[ROOTA#6]

Loved it and should send a message about how to capture the real world of footy and those who live in and around it

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Lyon 'I'm not sure why there is such a rush to be a senior coach, the sooner you are in a job, the sooner you are fired'

That cracked me up.

 

[Mateyman]

Echoing the thought soy others, loved that.

 

[wcesam]

Lyon 'I'm not sure why there is such a rush to be a senior coach, the sooner you are in a job, the sooner you are fired'

Haha he has a point.. much safer just to float around as an assistant

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Top quality doco.
Ross Lyon seems to be a top quality bloke. I have a bit more respect for the bloke. Can't help but feel sorry for Sanderson.

Why can't we have more of this stuff?

 

[Blues_Man]

That was pretty good viewing, and a great insight into the life of an AFL Coach ...well worth the watch.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Why can't we have more of this stuff?

That would take a lot of time and money to make.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Missed the first 40 mins but watched the rest forgot it was on will there be a replay?

 

[Collingwood 4 eternity]

Was great viewing seeing coaching greats like Matthews,Parkin,Barrasi etc discussing what it takes to be a successful coach.

They along with the late Tom Hafey and Alan Jeans are the Danehill sire of all of the modern day coaches

 

[kaiserchief13]

Wouldn't be surprised if Sanderson said not to show some stuff he said, but channel 7 ignored his wish.

 

[AM]

Really interesting doco.

Wondered what the reaction will be to Sheeds thoughts about public commentary by people who have no first hand knowledge of coaching or the operation of professional football clubs.
