With our poaching of a top class footy manager in Matthew Drain from the Doggies, and the exodus of other staff from the kennel all happening quite quickly.. Is Rocket Eade to much of a hot head to work with. He sure likes going off his nut in the box during a game - but I have heard he really has upset ppl at the kennel with his verbal abuse - short fuse.
I know - not a saints issue, but an interesting footy story nevertheless!!
Eade - not easy to work with??

I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Agree - blatantly overrated coach. Hailed as tactically brilliant, but has no consistent record of success over the years he has coached. Teams he coaches always seem to lack alternative plans when the opposition get in front.rodgerfox wrote:Why?evertonfc wrote:Great coach.
What is that based on?
When I look at Eade's record (apart from year 1), I see nothing but mediocrity.

Depending on who's spin you believe, the Bulldogs are doing a cleanout anyway, so there may not be too much to read into the number of departures... but then, if I had that number of departures, I'd say I was doing a cleanout... Did Eade have similar issues with assistants in Sydney?

Article from today's Herald Sun under the heading Tigers want Dogs' Scott Clayton.
Seems as though most of the departures have reasonable explanations.
Matthew Drain's departure also rates a mention
"HIGH-performance manager Matthew Drain to St Kilda on Monday.
It's believed Drain, a close friend of Eade's, had a verbal undertaking a new contract was coming, but apparently got itchy feet and jumped at the Saints' offer of a similar position."

I believe he lost the players almost 100% and was off-side with club staff when he left Sydney. Roos took over in 2002 and was appointed f/time in 2003 and wins a flag 2 years later.
Just as a matter of interest - coaching record:
Has coached 10 years. 220 games - 122 wins,103 losses and 3 draws.
(55%) Finshed 2nd in his first year as coach (1996) but has not finished higher than 5th in any other year he has coached since. 10 finals all up for 4 wins and 6 losses. Hardly an excellent coaching record.

Flavour of the month to sink the boot in, all because injuries ruined their year.
He kept Sydney consistently competitive (made finals year after year, added to a 1996 GF appearence) and developed heaps of talent for Roos to work with.
Had the Dogs playing exhilirating footy last year. With a bit of luck, they'll have a real crack next year.

Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.
Well they better get a few things in place quick, cause there aint many people around to get them ready to go for Rd 1,evertonfc wrote:Flavour of the month to sink the boot in, all because injuries ruined their year.

It's not great to start back training with no assistants, no footy manager and by next month no recruitment guy....they are stuffed...and won't make the 8 in 2008...Rocket could be the first coach to go in 2008...maybe he will get the Everton job you obviously love him...

He brought in the Flood, then went to the other extreme and played on at all costs...please time to change channels it's 2008 and Rodney is on the way out...first to go...
