can't believe the man love for rocket on here. he clearly mis managed their feedback system and let it get controlled by a clique of players. this is well documented. he also spent at least 5 years trying to win a flag by building a team entirely of wingmen based in his own image. Narcisist of the highest order. he's not a good bloke. I'm gobsmacked so many saints fans like this guy. he won't be a senior coach again.
Any facts in what you said? It appears that many in the media rate his coaching highly. Havent heard to many say he didnt get the best out of the list.Con Gorozidis wrote:can't believe the man love for rocket on here. he clearly mis managed their feedback system and let it get controlled by a clique of players. this is well documented. he also spent at least 5 years trying to win a flag by building a team entirely of wingmen based in his own image.

The fact that softies like Johnson, Gia and Murphy are rated highly internally says something right?Con Gorozidis wrote:can't believe the man love for rocket on here. he clearly mis managed their feedback system and let it get controlled by a clique of players. this is well documented. he also spent at least 5 years trying to win a flag by building a team entirely of wingmen based in his own image.

Of course the media rate him. He is and has ALWAYS been a media darling, despite the fact that he is an underchieving overrated twice sacked coach.
Never rated Eade and his foul mouth, never rated his team (and this is why we almost always beat them) and he was a waste of space.
Happy imbibing.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Dont rate the coach or the team but somehow they finished top four 3 years in a row. Yep and all the media are going to lie about him because he is a media darling. Maybe he actually could coach and the media arent lying. Funny that you dont rate the team when last night you said they had a team that could challenge for the flag.

For the most talented list of players (yes it was described constantly throughout 2008-2010) they didn't even reach a grand final but most important didn't even look like getting close.plugger66 wrote:Dont rate the coach or the team but somehow they finished top four 3 years in a row.

I am unsure how you come to that conclusion when the Cats were regarded as one of the best teams of all time and in 2009 we won 19 in a row. Then last year the Pies were rated very highly. Also didnt they lose to us by less than 12 points in one prelim I believe. I would call that close unless of course you think we werent close to Geelong in 2009 GF.Zac Attack wrote:For the most talented list of players (yes it was described constantly throughout 2008-2010) they didn't even reach a grand final but most important didn't even look like getting close.plugger66 wrote:Dont rate the coach or the team but somehow they finished top four 3 years in a row.

No the Pies did not. They lost to us in a Qual final in 2009 by 28 points.

IMO Eade is a good coach and I'm surprised they didn't stick with him. The BD came about as close to playing in a GF as we came to winning one (actaully, we came closer) and no one rates that. Stiff.

A plethora of high picks coupled with a decent core and topping up by trading in Aka, Hudson, Sherman and Hall and not even a GF to show displays failure.SaintPav wrote:Ok.

You Eade defenders need to cut the crap and look these results:
2011 Round 1 - 52 point LOSS
2011 Round 9 - 123 point LOSS
2011 Round 11 - 61 point LOSS
2011 Round 21 - 49 Point LOSS
Now we all know you cant win every game. And sometimes you have a shocker that you need to forget. But for a side with one of the oldest lists in the AFL (or the oldest?) if you are getting pole-axed by big margins you have a problem.
2011 Round 1 - 52 point LOSS

Maybe they were suffering worse psychological problems than our boys were after their near misses.
Have a look at their injury list during those games too.
BTW the wingers that Eade recruited were the product of Scott Clayton, renowned as one of the best recruiters in the business.
Ridiculous bashing of a good man going on by keyboard heroes.

Clayton built the list of the Lions that did so well and 'Gubby' Allen finished it off? To me that is the stuff of legend because the Lions already have their amazing core group of players at the club before both men joined the club. Clayton did a pretty average job at the Dogs re. recruiting and he has had the Gold Coast job pretty much done for him due to the draft concessions, zone selections and the uncontracted player allowances.Animal Enclosure wrote:Maybe they were suffering worse psychological problems than our boys were after their near misses.

His game plan, and his recruiting to cater for his game plan, failed.
I gate it when people use the 'he got the best out of an average list' in reference to a coach that has been ata club for more than 4-5 years.
If you're there that long, it's your list. And if it's no good enough, then you're responsible.
