[CQ SAINT]

We must have given up on developing the game on high half forwards and running backs and recruited some 2 way running midfielders.

[cwrcyn]

Interesting. I'm keen to see how Goddard develops the midfield strategies and if it makes us more potent around stoppages..

[bobmurray]

Interesting changes, hope BJ goes all right at it.

Goddard will also take on the position as St Kilda Academy Head Coach, taking over from Nick Dal Santo.

[Scollop]

I think it's great for both of them to learn and develop new skills. It'll help their growth and benefit the club

[SaintPav]

Is that a demotion for Lenny?

[BringBackMadDog]

Is that a demotion for Lenny?

Lenny's decision he wanted to have more time with his family

[CQ SAINT]

Is that a demotion for Lenny?

Probably more a reflection on the type of players just recruited recently, and the specific skills they will need to play in the big boys game.

Goddard is getting developed, more likely.

Have a look at you go Mr PR spin man, always thinking on ya feet, I recon you could upsell a coke N mars bar in any scenario.

I like it, no adverse reflection on Lenny, but BJ is a far more aggressive individual and may well take that characteristic into how he wants the midfield to play.

In many ways midfield as the engine room of the team is the most crucial coaching role at a club.

I was hoping to read that Robert Harvey was shifted away from forwards coach role but perhaps if BJ succeeds in training the mids to improve delivery of the ball into the forward 50 the forwards might achieve a better scoring average.

Yeah, it came with my rocket science phd. The ability to bulls***.

Hayes - previous development coach of a bunch of big arse mids that crushed us in the final.last year. What did we recruit this year?

Goddard skills coach newbie, last development coach - half back utility, was it Owens, Pou and Nas coming on last year?

Rocket Science spin from my phd.

And with honours from the happy clappers society.

[bobmurray]

The first assistant coaching change in Ross' new tenure, will it be the last ?

[Otiman]

For me it further sets the tone that development (coach and player, but mostly player development) is more important than gameday.

I'm all for it.

[shanegrambeau]

Ah rotating responsibilities; good to see Grant Thomas’s legacy shining through.

[NickyDal]

I would love to add Riewoldt to the coaching panel. Then it would be an all star cast.

[whiskers3614]

What would he teach, selfishness or sulking?

[B.M]

Or how to have elite standards

Most professional player I’ve seen - hardest trainer!

He was a training animal!!!

But coaching - probably not


I love the way Dal coaches

[wally]

I thought a few years back Nick was being talked up as a potential board member, maybe that might be a better fit.
Personally I like seeing some ex players back involved.

What kind of a statement is that? And you are supposedly a Saintsational Legend!

[skeptic]

One thing I like about the current crop of coaches…

If there’s a theme between them all… it’s that they were all borderline maniacal in their training and preparations. One can’t help but feel that that’s the type of culture that they would all promote and that most likely, that type of attitude has been missing from the club until recently over the last decade or so

Is it entirely possible that you and CQ Saint could just quietly fvck off from this forum and go settle your grievances elsewhere? It's (a) tiresome (b) boring and also (c) no one gives a sh1t about your tit-for-tat rubbish

I second that Saintmatt - they destroy so many posts - incredibly tiresome & boring.

[The Fireman]

one of them has been trying to stuff this forum up for awhile.

Actually, it is not so much CQ Saint, but the other bloke who is a constant pain in the arse and a really negative poster.
