Re: Richo review

But an image that is still based on no facts, just because things weren't handled correctly doesn't mean Richo doesn't have any strengths as a coach. What are his strengths? Clearly gathering feedback.isn't one of them. Given he had no idea what the Captain's opinion on him was until he opened the ...

Re: Richo review

... posted on forums... hinted at in the media, implied when players went to other clubs for less money, when journos turned up to Moorabbin seemingly to cover the sacking. This goes to the very heart of one of the issues humans are struggling with atm. Free thinking is being dominated by no fact a...

Re: Richo review

Having an ego in-check as a leader is a massive strength when it comes to communication, leadership and relationship building. Being humble enough to accept feedback doesn't happen if you your ego isn't in check. Did the genesis of the article linked in the OP somehow not strike a chord with you? W...

Re: Richo review

Not sure how long an executive or senior manager in Basset's Seek organisation would last if they had the sub standard output that Richo has had for 5 years- there would be no propping up with other staff to try and get results..you would be long gone! No doubt Richo is only still there while the c...

Re: Richo review

Hmm. So that explains Richardson pumping up Geary's tyres recently. The old 'blow smoke up the arse of the bloke that bags you' management trick. Also, amongst all the negative stuff that keeps getting thrown in Richardson's face, when are we going to hear from the club what the underlying positives...

A great quote about not over complicating things by John Lennon: "When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment,...

Re: I didnt know....

Where would society be without being propped up by the high achievers? I think it unusual that you link high achievers with greed as opposed to the philanthropic work undertaken. I'm not linking high achievers with greed at all. I'm highlighting that there is a perception that if you don't have lot...

Nice philosophy rodgerfox, but each to their own.

Without those who are prepared to put their balls on the line and build our SME...

Re: Gears to stay skipper

Geary is very, very good at certain things. Geary is bad at other things. Any examples of the way opposition teams engineer situations to expose Geary? And does he go on the bench much? They isolate him. And we fall for it and give him the nut and he becomes our 'running back'. That's exactly what ...

Geary is very, very good at certain things. Geary is bad at other things. Opposition coaches coax us (and him) into situations where he is forced to don the things he is bad at. Our coaches do nothing to prevent this from occurring. It's like they sit there, and go "oh dude, Geary is having a b...

I went to a party one night about 25 years ago, and whilst about 200 drunken teenage revellers were doing what drunken teenage revellers do, me and a couple of mates found the Nintendo in the dude's living room.

Isn't a ticket to the footy about 20 bucks?

What's the justification for $90 for 3 games?

Re: Blake the Barbarian

At full running speed? Blake develops a lot of momentum. I'm guessing that Blake has 92 kgs x 8m/sec of momentum working for him, when he gets going. He weighs 92kgs - and let's say he's running at 8m/sec - that's 736 kilogram meters per second of momentum! Northcutt only weighs 77kg and Costa abou...

Now these guys in my opinion have top end physiques for elite athletes while Blake Acres has an average physique for an elite athlete. Lean muscle mass and brute core strength, the fact that Blake has endured ongoing groin issues means that core work will be a massive focus for him in preparation. ...
