Rawlings must get the job next year
« on: July 26, 2009, 09:18:21 PM »
I never rated him early on but his performance is growing on me each day! Not only does he have the balls to make the unpopular decisions but the he seems to be capable of getting the best out of the young blokes.
Edwards-better
King-better
Post- will be awesome
Vickery- improving each game
Riewoldt- better
Silvester- not up to AFL but is holding his own
Nahas- improving each week

I don't care who is coach but lets not get emotional over a win towards the end of the year.

We went down this path with Gieschen in 97, emotional win over Carlton at Optus Oval and it all went awry for us. Leave emotion out of it.

We have a process in place and we are sticking to it. If Jade comes out trumps after that process and he is the best candidate then yes he will be signed up if not then that person will be. Being emotive has got us nowhere. We stick to our plan and separate the on field from this process and que se ra se ra.

I'm not agreeing one way or the other but your statement is pretty simplistic. Geisch was a cartaker, Jade is a cartaker, that is the only comparison you can make, anything else that might be said is pure spin.

Youre all correct about the emotion of a close win but my post is more about the improvement in the younger players as opposed to the points!

Maybe that's a reflection on what the former coach wasn't doing as much as it is a sign of Jade's good work with the kids.

Yep, must stay impartial.

Rawlings clearly communicates well and at least has the ability to ensure we are competitive.

However we need more than that, we need a man who can create and have the player execute a gameplan that exposes the opposition from round 1 of the AFL season.  I don't know if Rawlings has got that but that's why he's being interviewed, to find out.

So no, Rawlings is no where near over the line, nor should he be.

There is absolutely no chance in hell that I would say he needs to be given the job next year

That being said, if he goes up against the candidates we have who've applied and outshines them all then by all means give him the job.
