Operation: Get Mini

[Otiman]

You would think Enright is going to be a head coach somewhere else soon enough. Needs some silverware with us first. Harvey's ship has sailed sadly, but is a solid assistant. Hayes has a higher ceiling but not sure where he is currently at on his journey.

I think one of Hayes and Harvey has to go for a dedicated forwards coach. This year is the mulligan with the injuries and inconsistent team structure up there.

[ace]

Did Banger not achieve much as a forward coach because

King missed 16 weeks and Membrey missed 19 weeks

Or because our mids weren’t dominant

Not sure

Chicken or egg

We're Saints, we make excuses

And omlettes.

Stack of chances were created for/by the forwards; so many opportunities were stuffed up by poor execution, brain fades and poor set shots. Someone took that piece of granite called Caminiti and turned into a pretty good likeness of a footballer. Finishing touches in 24. Coaches were OK. Personnel: like the curate's egg. Harris Andrews, Huston and Weitering cut outs to be used in preseason with instructions to in no circumstances kick to them.

Just need to make videos of St Kilda players and opposition players then screen them in quick random order.

Then require the mid fielders to identify friend or foe.
After a few months they might get most of them right.
Then you can try speeding it up.

Those incapable of identifying friend or foe by the end of next season get delisted.

[Scollop]

It's fantastic that we have Harvey, Hayes and BJ at the club but our culture needs to be driven by the playing group.

The players need to build something that is powerful and genuine. Therefore, we need more leaders to emerge.

The cohesion and synergy will follow.

It takes a selfless approach to do what's
best for the team and that will only come if
these guys truly want to be part of a premiership
team.

If they truly want St Kilda to have success they
need to care about each other and they need
to care about this footy club.

We need all participants to put egos aside
and have the club's best interests and the players' best interests being paramount above everything else.

I don't get this thing about McQualter. What has he achieved??
I prefer the current coaching group.

Aiming too low. Yze is the man Richmond preferred. And giving Harvs one season with the cattle we had is surely enough. Although we did stumble into the 8 and Richmond didn't. Anyway look at that greener grass at punt road.

Wasn’t Lyon involved in Swans premierships as an assistant ? We are talking assistant coaches yeah? Sone credit him over Roos ???
You skip that bit?

[B.M]

A group - singular- not plural 2005

[spert]

Enright should have got the gig over Lyon, but if we have a couple of ordinary years, Lyon will jump no doubt.

I just looked up the official AFL records and it credits Roos for the 2005 premiership, no mention of the “some” you speak of. Who are these “some”?

Yeah it’s hard business this making sense stuff…just wondering why we never held onto coaches like Watters? he was part of premiership group wasn’t he?

[Yorkeys]

Watters was the specialist coach for the vertically challenged at Collingwood, not a lot to do but complied with diversity requirements.
Got a great reference from Malthouse; one to move him on and two to stuff us right up. Ah Mick, you have done it again. It was during our particularly idiot management period.

Watters couldn’t relate to his players. He wanted them to believe they were good enough to challenge again, but they could only hear one thing in their head. The departing words from their previous coach who they pined for….”it’s the end of an era!”

The player leadership was on a collision course with Scott and there was always only going to be one outcome.

Watters didn’t understand how difficult life was for his players having to drive all the the way to Seaford. Not to mention that there were no coffee shops nearby.

Watters copped a lot for not looking players in the eyes when he spoke to them but I always felt sorry for him.

Yes yes you make a lot of sense …mum tell you that as a kid?

He should have listened to his kid.

Cringeworthy.
Just needed Mick to pat on his head.
Revolutionary thinking but. Forwards being multiple targets, paternal approach in a ruthless business, singling out players in a team game.
Name dropped Nettlefold, for goodness sake.
What did we do to deserve Watters and Nettlefold at the same time. Light weight fools.

Oh yeah..Watters has completely disappeared from the AFL landscape.

What ever happened to him?
