The Flux Choaching Report: If You Don't Fight You Lose! Get The Gnome Saintas!!!!!!

Post: # 1801399Post AeonFlux »

.

A very special guest analysis committee has been brought in for this Fluxed Choaching Report.
Guitarstimes4, Captain Marvel, Blowme & The Quizmaster.
And a very special thank-you to them for the inspiration. (And the ideas to shamelessly pilfer. :mrgreen: )
Plus He'sHighMan. He provided the * dot points. :wink:



*Things are bad. (Redgum Round Report.)
We were last a power circa 2009/2010.
- Who were our competitors? Honkytown, Skunks, Swines and Skid Marks. How have they gone since then??? :idea:
- Since then, who has plumbed the depths of the ladder? Effendrug, Purple Shockers, Dogs, Brisbane, Melbtank and Carlscum. How are they going now relative to us??? Who is closest to winning a flag???? :idea:
- How are the club's various membership numbers looking??? :idea:
*And then there's are $12 million (and growing) debt. Yikes! :shock: We can't keep tottering along saying 'It Doesn't Matter To Me' like the TRUE DECEIVERS want us to. (Redgum Round Report, again.)

*We can't keep tottering along doing the same old things that have rarely worked for 140 years, yet expect a different result. (Einstein Round Report.)

We have to do something different and bold. For bloody once!!! :x


Image

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of going after the Toxic Gnome to be our next coach.



Think about it Saintsationalists................

- We'd get a (very) proven coach.
- We'd then be able to use our war chest on free agents. Finally! Bloody finally!!!!
- They could really really significantly add to what is already a good list. (Don't be fooled by the TRUE DECEIVERS! Don't be fooled by The Hole In The Ted gang. Out problem <the definite article deleted by Mods> Cho, not the list!!!!)
- And there's no super strong team standing in our way either. Our opportunity is nigh!!! :idea:

Sell him the dream of AFL immortality - the Saintas' second flag.

(Sweeten that further with a Godfather $$$ offer.)


Toxi and the resultant players that we'd be then able to lure, would lead to increased membership, merchandise and sponsorship revenue. That's more than offset what his coaching fee would be.

Yep, the more I think about, we have (another) golden opportunity right here for the taking.

Come on Saintas! Be bold. Be imaginative. Be aggressive. For once! Don't stuff this one up!!!!!! :twisted:

If you don't fight, you lose!!!!!!!

A few things:

- He doesn't want to leave Hawthorn. He stated that unless the Hawthorn board tap him on the shoulder, he's stating there.

- He's contracted there isn't he?

- He's not the messiah. Not in the short term anyway.

He took 3 years to build Hawthorn's team. It wasn't a quick fix. And he had freak talent at his disposal.

Now without that freak talent, they're battlers. He'll improve them, but it'll take time and there's zero guarantees he'll improve them into a flag team.

- Clarkson doesn't instantly get teams playing better - he builds a game plan around what he has at his disposal. That takes time.



So basically, we can't get him anyway. And if we did, the fans' expectations would need to be managed very carefully, as they'd likely be very unrealistic.

Baz has a rethink about us getting out there and getting the Toxic Gnome. And we like his rethink! :D

History can repeat. And this time. Go one better!!! :idea:
BarryGrogan wrote: Wed 26 Jun 2019 10:05pmFunnily enough, that was the best move the club has made in my lifetime.
Even with the $1m to Blight, our overall coaching department cost was in the bottom half of the league.
So the outlay was never a problem.
But it drew Gehrig and Hamill to the club, sponsors, and about 10 thousand more members.

I actually think that's the exact type of call GT is referring to.
BarryGrogan wrote: Thu 27 Jun 2019 7:47amIt was good for the club.
Coaching department spending remained in the bottom half of the comp.
Thousands of new members.
Gehrig and Hamill joined the club.
It was a turning point in our history. We were in a Prelim within 3 years of it.
We went from last to 3rd from that decision.
BarryGrogan wrote: Thu 27 Jun 2019 12:39pmA bold, ambitious and ruthless strategy took us from 16th to 3rd within 2 years, and 6 points off a Grand Final berth.
It all started with ambition and an element of risk in making a bold decision.
And others 'get it' to. :D
SAINT-LEE wrote: Wed 26 Jun 2019 10:25pmClarkson is ready for a change just needs the signal from a club ready to invest in him and prove they will pay the price for a long term game plan. Hawks are still keen and are in the mini rebuild for the next 2 years at least.

I think he is 200% our kind of leader but 0% chance we harden up and refuse to come home without him.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of going after the Toxic Gnome to be our next coach.



Think about it Saintsationalists................

- We'd get a (very) proven coach.
- We'd then be able to use our war chest on free agents. Finally! Bloody finally!!!!
- They could really really significantly add to what is already a good list. (Don't be fooled by the TRUE DECEIVERS! Don't be fooled by The Hole In The Ted gang. Out problem <the definite article deleted by Mods> Cho, not the list!!!!)
- And there's no super strong team standing in our way either. Our opportunity is nigh!!! :idea:

Sell him the dream of AFL immortality - the Saintas' second flag.

(Sweeten that further with a Godfather $$$ offer.)


Toxi and the resultant players that we'd be then able to lure, would lead to increased membership, merchandise and sponsorship revenue. That's more than offset what his coaching fee would be.

Yep, the more I think about, we have (another) golden opportunity right here for the taking.

Come on Saintas! Be bold. Be imaginative. Be aggressive. For once! Don't stuff this one up!!!!!! :twisted:

If you don't fight, you lose!!!!!!!

Just heard Terry Wallet talking about the various coaching vacancies on SEN.

He believes that Clarkson may leave Hawthorn.

His opinion (for what its worth) is that Clarkson won't want to go to another 'big' Club. Wallace said that his gut feeling is that he'll end up at North or St Kilda if he goes.

Richmond were awful as well.
Just horrible boring bland dull football.
No forward structure and same same as most other games under coach.
If any of you think that changing the coach will fix our club you are kidding yourself.
Even though he must be moved on, the club has a lot more serious issues than just the coach.
It needs a total overhaul, a complete rebuild from top to bottom.
It is kind of like that Seinfeld episode where George did the opposite of what he would normally do.
We need to do that!
Because whatever we do we don't do it right!
Fair point!

And thank you for reminding us all of another reason why we need the Toxic Gnome. He'd have the influence to demand, and more importantly, to get from Fred Bassat, the required changes to win a flag. :idea:

(And unlike as with the Rat's Tossbag, there's no danger of those changes including the ridiculous premature exiting of a Robert Harvey. :evil: )

Re: The Flux Choaching Report: No to Brad Kray! Get The Gnome Saintas!!!!!!

Post: # 1804626Post AeonFlux »

.

Brad Kray??? Seriously??? :shock:

No Brad Scott No Matter What!!!

Image

This isn't about whether Alan Richardson should stay or not. It's about the apparent fact that Brad Scott already has his job, and if Richo does go, please let ANYBODY be our next Coach except Brad Scott.

Brad Scott had ten years at Nth Melbourne without a Grand Final appearance, let alone a Premiership. They sat 17th when his 'departure' was announced. They're now sitting SIX positions higher (11th) just four weeks later under caretaker coach Rhys Shaw. Brad Scott either suddenly left his team in the lurch mid-year as they sat 17th, or he was sacked because they were 17th. Either way, who goes out to get THAT Coach?

Then there's the treatment of an injured Nick Riewoldt in THAT game.

The constant childish whingeing in the Coach's box.

The childish response to David King.

The heavy AFL-media/fan suspicion (as already publicly voiced by Tony Shaw and Wayne Carey - why would they be making such accusations up?) that the Saints job has been guaranteed to Scott by his old mates at Moorabbin BEFORE Alan Richardson has had a chance to trigger his 2020 contract if the Saints were to win a Final (thus meaning those Saints officials who've possibly made the guarantee are now 'white-anting' - quote Wayne Carey - the current coach and 'cheering for the Saints to lose' - quote Wayne Carey). Surely not the way to do business in an industry where open communication and loyalty are of paramount importance.

Most coaches who are between jobs get out and about doing as much media as possible to remind future employers of their clever coaching insights and tactical mind, to enhance their chances of another job. Not a peep from Brad Scott (it's said he's refusing media requests) who is unemployed with only two possible jobs available at AFL senior level (Carlton, where David Teague is surely firming as favourite), and St.Kilda.

I suppose there's no need to be auditioning in the media for a job which you've already got? We want to prevent Brad Scot becoming St.Kilda coach. Hope he coaches again, just elsewhere please?

He was at a 30% win ratio in 2019 (lower than Alan Richardson) when he departed. Which team replaces a coach (if Alan Richardson is to go) with a coach who's record in the very same season is WORSE? (and Brad Scott had Jack Zeibell, Robbie Tarrant, Ben Cunnington, Shaun Higgins, Ben Brown and Todd Goldstein - who the Saints are supposedly trying to recruit for 2020 and who's sitting at 4th on the best performed ruckman list this season - all of whom Alan Richardson would LOVE to add to the Saints Best 22 this year, and yet he's STILL done better than Brad Scott).

There's a perception that when Brad Scott got North into Prelims at least five years ago, that he did so with an ordinary list. It's a myth. Look at the Bulldogs list in 2016, which won a Flag in Luke Beveridge's second season as a coach. Then consider if Brad Scott's list at North really was ordinary, with players like Brent Harvey, Drew Petrie, Ben Brown, Nick Dal Santo, Michael Firrito, Todd Goldstein, Andrew Swallow, Jack Ziebell, Scott Thompson, Ben Cunnington, Levi Greenwood, Daniel Wells...
