I was never sold him as a coach. Or "director of football" positions for that matter
Seemed an old school style screamer who had pasion to spare though. Maybe thats what we need though.
Id prefer Leigh Matthews in that role though.

Not a fan of Laidley, don't think I'd be too keen on him being involved with the club.

I remember back in 2003 on the day after North defeated us in round one at the MCG, Patrick Smith saying that Laidley was a future "superstar coach" I thought that assessment to be somewhat hysterical and premature. Nothing that Laidley has done since has convinced me that he is anything other than a "good ordinary coach" Sometimes I wonder how the likes of he and Wallace (AND Eade for that matter) are referred to as "experts" and "gurus"
As for Laidleys much touted "tactical nous"..well I was there up at the Gold Coast in 2008 when North had us on toast with a six goal lead at 1/4 time and we reeled 'em in and then rolled 'em! (some "superstar coach"
)

known as "junkyard dog" I believe. I still remember him getting into a blew of some sort with a North supporter while en-route to the huddle at the dome. Seems a wee bit too "intense" for a position requiring a cool head and strong nerve, rather than (so-called) "passion"

Didn't the supporter commit suicide?
Sounds like his family are a charming bunch!

Unfortunately, yes. Though I understand it was gambling-related, not altercation-related.Enrico_Misso wrote:Vaguely remember that.thejiggingsaint wrote:known as "junkyard dog" I believe.

Excellent tactician, poor communicator, great understanding of football strategy and skills/positioning development. Good insights into the game, too intense, not personable, can get angry and aggressive.
Very highly rated internally within the AFL industry. Would be a good get as an assistant ... not as senior coach.
