what should we be hoping for?

bottom two like coburg?

 

do came 5th last season [seniors]. what position should the VFL side be aiming for

I would think if the VFL side is full of kids or have a shocking year with injury, then we will be middle of the road or bottom 4, if it is full senior players that we've kept for depth then top 8

Do you seriously believe that the likes of Geelong, C'wood and Essendon set out each year to play VFL finals? Answer is no they don't.

All 3 have said it's about development first and results 2nd.

So considering our club has said they are basing their VFL model on geelong's I reckon it fair to assume that in 2014 it's about development first and results 2nd.

So will I be blowing a head gasket if our VFL side lose games. Answer is NO

His coaching and developing have been poor.

Yeah but what do you mean? You haven't answered the question. You make a statement back it up. "His coaching" what do you'd mean by that?

Is it the results at Coburg that make you make that statement?  Please. He had to deal with a side made up of mainly AFL listed kids then players from Coburg that were not even up to VFL standard. I bet you will find that the RFC were not at all concerned with the results at Coburg this year all they would have cared about was making sure the likes of McBean, Vlaustin, Arnott, Elton learnt how they were expected to play.

The bean stands out and you could argue it was Mcguane, Edwards, Nahas types which kept them in games.

I look at the younger players and really who has come on??

What about Arnott?

What abut McDonough? Granted his AFL debut was poor but the fact he developed enough during the year at VFL level surely suggest the development wasn't all that better.

Disappointing that MacIntosh got injured or he probably would have played in 2013

i have answered it and his coaching by way of results and development has been poor. Why haven't these youngsters pushed anyone out

Clarke has shown he is not up to it and i am sure when you are sober you will agree also.

Griffits, Elton, O'hanlon, helbig, Batch all gone backwards under his watchful eye. Wont include dericks because he has been rubbish from day 1 and it staggers me how he is still on our list.

O'Hanlon, Griffiths both injured for a lot of the season! that's Clarke's fault?

Elton is a 2nd year

Helbig, injured again too but when he played AFL was poor, that's Clarke's fault?

So you are saying we have all these players that have gone backwards and all the blame lies with Clarke?

What about the other development coaches? Mellor and dare I say it Choco Williams?

They are both front and square at VFL games do they share any of the blame your handing out.

Perfectly sober BTW

Obviously, our views on the role of development coaches vary

[Coach]

Griffith played 14 games for Coburg and one for Richmond. Missed what, 3 games of VFL? Surely Chutney didn't give you this mail

Was he not injured during the course of the year?

And BTW Your fixation with chutney is getting unhealthy now   

[Francois Jackson]

yeah they do WP and you could well be right but i look at why the hell are players like Edwards keeping the youngsters out.

IMO that shows we have recruited or developed poorly.

cats on the other hand keep bringing the young ones in even though they are winning and there is no need to.

Pies were forced to this year due to injury and look at the gems they uncovered.

You said he was injured for a lot of the season, guy. As usual you try and twist words when you're wrong.Obviously you're not sober. It shows with your posting and your moderating.

Reported, Bill. See you at Coburg.

I was wrong

There's a first for everything, old kid.

Hopefully that applies to everyone 

[Coach]

As I said, see you at Coburg. You still go sometimes don't you

[TigerMonk]

Don't worry WP. Griffiths does nothing  thats why people think his not on the ground. He was injured several times. His a danger to himself & 2014 will be his last. Just hope he walks out the door when finished & is not carried out. 

[WilliamPowell]

As I said, see you at Coburg. You still go sometimes don't you

Actually only went to one Coburg game in 2014

Went to some local footy games instead this season much better standard at times.

[1965]

He was in the Gold Coast leadership, But if l'm right, He only played 1 game & spent the rest of his time playing the lower grade up on the Gold Coast which is not real good. Got to be more to it & l will find out. But seriously its like having jade Rawlings back at the club. sorry for bring that name up 

One good thing about the appointment TM is that he will be working under Choco so if he is still a bit young then he couldn't have a better mentor to learn the development/coaching game from.
