Re: Playfair departs
It's hard to comment on assistant coaches really, as we all have no idea WTF they actually do and what their measures of success are.
Guys like John Barker that from the outside, appear to wreak mediocrity everywhere they go - are apparently 'highly regarded' by everyone in the industry.
So was Playfair any good or not? I wouldn't have a f****** clue.

Re: Playfair departs
Never really warmed up to him.
First season, St Kilda went from conceding 1986 (2017) points to 2125 (2018).
Second season, conceded points were 1961, but again in a year where scoring was down across the board. League %age was 89.1% in 2017, and it went down to 80.38% in 2019. Don't let the media fool you into believing it was a high scoring season or the 6-6-6 change was good for scoring!

Re: Playfair departs
Doesn’t this mean we need at least 2 assistants now.
They need to cover Ratts and Playfair.
I think there is going to be quite a few disappointed supporters.

Re: Playfair departs
He is highly regarded, performed very well in Sydney.
I don’t rate Lade because teams have struggled everywhere he’s been... and I remember him at Karingal.

Re: Playfair departs
I also thought Playfair was well regarded and thought he got the most out of our backline which is full of very average footballers.
And I’m with BM on Lade - has not impressed at all.

Re: Playfair departs
Ruck coach teaches ruck technique.
Marshall didn't overwhelm with his actual rucking. It was his midfield work that was the standout.

Re: Playfair departs
Playfair should have gone to GWS as a mentor for Greene.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
