New Development Coach appointed (RFC Site)

[The Big Richo]

another straight from the clacker Big richo....did you know that west adelaide have had more AFL players produced than any other state league club in the country. .......One word , highly rated...good get by the tigers

So highly rated that for the past ? years he has been coach of bumstuff idaho and recruited by no-one?

and who'd be a better development coach BR...someone like vossy that was a heck of a player, sheesh why didnt we get Knightas back...you're case is about as solid Gillards claim for a carbon tax

I've got no doubt Voss would be a great development coach, I wouldn't let him near a draft but he would have plenty to offer young footballers.

Knights also would be an excellent choice.

and how do you qualify that in terms of what they have achieved as coaches or is this just a wild guess

Carbon tax is rock solid, tax polluters.  Better than the GST and private health which taxes every bastard

And carbon tax won't?

 

Al Gore send you a Christmas card each year for contributing to his retirement fund does he Owl?

[Owl]

Yes... those earning over 110k will be $9.90 a week out of pocket, those on less than that will be compensated.  It is a goddamned outrage, this is assuming they try and pass it on which they will try to but they have to get through the ACCC.  Well, stuff me, top 500 pee taking companies finally have to start paying for their mess and contributing to a fund for cleaner energy and everyone gets sucked into sticking up for them LOL.

Please tell me you're joking Owl  surely your glasses arent that rosy

So is Leppa being demoted?

Given the state of our list in terms of age, why haven't we invested into the one area that is crucial to our future? Isn't this the biggest identified difference between sides like our and Collingwood? We nned to make the best of what we draft and are we going to do this understaffed?

Perhaps the reasoning behind the move is that all our coaches have 'development' as a large part of their portfolios?!

I'm at a loss.

Nope just taking on more it would seem 

[one-eyed]

Here's the current full list of coaches:

Senior Coach - Damien Hardwick
Opposition Coach- Wayne Campbell
Defensive Structure & Strategy - Ross Smith
Stoppage Coach - Brendon Lade
Defensive & Training Coach - Justin Leppitsch
Midfield Coach - Danny Daly
Forward Coach - Mark Williams
Development Coach - Greg Mellor
Opposition and List Analyst - Blair Hartley

[Trent Martin]

Nice, pleased to see Lade isn't midfield coach anymore and purely focusing on stoppages.

Will be very very annoyed if we don't get any more development coaches in as planned originally.

Opposition and List Analyst - Blair Hartley

I would call Hartley a coach - his role has nothing to do with coaching.

the "opposition" bit in his title refers to him analysing oppositions lists and finding out who's coming out of contract and rating them - nothing to do with coaching IMHO

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't he coach the players of upcoming opposition tactics on the Monday of each week?

Hmm.... interesting and I am happy to stand corrected but I thought that was/is part of what Campbell's role is as opposition coach. 

Can remember Campbell being asked about it at a pre-match this year and he said that what he did 

[one-eyed]

I could be wrong but I think Cambo's role is to watch opposition tapes from the 3-4 weeks leading into our game and attend opposition training to pass on to the coaching staff about the opposition's likely gameplan and team structures and who is proppy etc. Blair's role  is more about studying each opposition player's strengths and weaknesses over their football history and pass that onto the coaching staff.

[JVT]

Then I will stand corrected
