At the moment i think both are problems. If Roo is going to be used as he was on the weekend (which i think he should be) we will need another reliable target going forward. Kosi could do this if he finds some form but whether this happens or not is another thing all together. Possibly Mcevoy could ...

yes the coach wants the team to kick backwards seriously the reason we go backwards is because if we bomb it long it will be rebounded back with ease its all about finding the right option i may annoy to see them chipping around but it would be silly to just kick it forward for the sake of kicking ...

I have travelled down 4 or 5 times to watch this year and these are probably my recommendations. >> fly with Tiger or virgin because they are usually cheaper but virgin is definitely better. >>Take the skybus from Melbourne airport it is usually only a 20 minute ride into Spencer Street Station and ...

I was impressed with the amount of hard running Roo did and I think that he should permanently be playing that roll. One thing the coaching staff needs to address though is a solid forward target on the rebound if Roo isn't there. Numerous times we got the rebound and then didn't have any players in...

From what I have seen at a lot of the games this season it seems our forwards flood so far into our backline that when we finally manage to get the turn over and move it out we have no forwards to kick to because they are all still inside our defensive 50. Our players sometimes have no other option ...

Yeah i think Stan was a bit rough getting dumped after they made the Grand Final. He came and did a cameo coaching session for one of the teams i played for a while back. He seemed a bit disinterested at the time but this was a few years after his coaching days and probably didn't want to be there.

I played football for 10 years under a few different coaches. Anyone who has played football will know that when you have a good coach morale at a club is sky high because even when things aren't great they know how to manage people. However when you have bad coaches the morale at a club drops away...

RW was a premiership winning coach and player. Clearly he wasn't and these facts are just made up in order to make him sound more important. Robert Walls may have been a premiership coach but he also destroyed great teams (the very reason he kept being sacked from half the clubs in the AFL)? Walls ...

NAB Cup. Winning $350k can't be a bad thing!
Yes this is a positive but is it truly a positive for Ross? I would have thought the major lack in quality opposition throughout the pre-season cup would be more to do with why we were so successful.

I can't imagine Harvs as a coach he definitely leads by example but I don't know if the natural leadership ability is there. I don't know what anyone else thinks but I think that Hamill would make a great coach. I think he has both the leadership qualities required and led by example on the field.
