Re: Who will be our new assistant coaches?

With all due respect Tony Micale should never have held that position simply because he's only ever been a coach at WAFL level. As good as he may have been i think a person directly involved in the day to day coaching at AFL level be it even assistants roles should be a minimum.Obviously poor Tony b...

Re: StKFC draft selection history

Have to agree Cairnsman, the way the draft is set up now and the whole process is way more professional than what it was. The draft camp, measuring and assessment of each and every individual is so thorough that it has a tendency to separate the kids that really want to play at an elite level.If we ...

Re: Billings; Dunstan & Dumont

All three would be great. Good quality with Dunstan being an MVP and captain of his state shows we are looking at quality people as well as quality footballers.

Re: Colorado trips -any value?

Its debatable if it has any significant physical value. I heard a radio interview with a sports scientist that stated that the initial benefits are gained from 4 to 6 weeks after which means if they go mid to late November anything gained virtually goes before the season starts. The benefit is gain...

Re: Caro sinks the boots in again. Friday morning update

I tried to post a comment on the Real Footy website suggesting Caroline had been a bit silly with the "tigers won't release him" slant and that she had dug herself a hole now that Richo was appointed. Needless to say it was not published. Why does'nt that surprise me, so its ok for her to...

Re: Caro sinks the boots in again. Friday morning update

Is there nothing she can write that is informative and unbiased. Compare the two stories Caro's and Emma Quayles. Quayles talks about some players being delisted but in an unbiased and informative manner. Caro just loves to rake all the muck and put negative spins and it seems to work because we are...

Re: On Hindsight it’s staggering

The theme of embracing the veterans could be due to the damage caused by SW asking them to stop celebrating their past efforts and accepting mediocrity. He's going to rebuild but may also have to rebuild a faith and belief in our veterans that they still have a valuable role to play especially with ...

Re: Matt Scharenberg

To be quite honest he will be told by Mr Moneyball Pelchen who to pick because he has a strategy. Richo even used the strategy word during the press conference. If he's lucky the Pelican will let him lick the spoon when he's finished mixing his strategy.

Re: Richo over the line ....

If Richo has done a back flip you'd have to say that Williams has not got what he wants whereas Richardson who still does not command top dollar may have had an offer that was too good to refuse for a guy at his level. I can't see why someone who was knocked back last time would come back again if t...

I'm ok with Williams coaching just have a problem with the word process which is something that Mr Summers kept referring to in his press conference.

Re: Surely not the next best coach

I know AFL is now a business but something that Choco brings is the tradition mindset. We must remember he was brought up in one of the most famous footballing families in Sth Australia that just oozed tradition and i believe as difficult as it maybe to put in place i'm reasonably confident that Cho...
