I hear he resigned as tassie devils coach today, would we consider him to help rock out as a midfield coach.

He was a real hardnut and tough player so he may impart a bit of hardness on our playing group.

Dont know if he was popular or any good as the devils coach but I do remember his hardness as a player.

Anyway it's just a thought, and westaway said we still needed to rebuild our off field football resources.

Rock is doing a great job. Don't want too many chefs.

Hopefully between Gehrig and Barker we can sort out half a structure in the forward line.

Don't know much about the guy. Quitting as coach mid season sends alarm bells !!

Tassie sends alarm bells- they just can't seem to get it together

was there a reason given?

Enrico_Misso · Wed 04 Jun 2008 11:16pm

Supposedly he was high on our coaching short list.

Had it not been for that unfortunate publicity he might well have been our coach instead of Ross

Launcestonsaint · Wed 04 Jun 2008 11:42pm

There hasn't been any reason given yet for his resignation.

saintbrat · Post: # 580671Post **saintbrat** » Wed 04 Jun 2008 11:44pm

no reason but some inuendo???

Nah, nothing at all.
He might have woken up that being involved in the current Tassie football set up won't help your career.

maybe have him as a forward coach... can't do any worse.

Ne1 else think that we haven't had a better forward coach than Terry Daniher... seriously since he left our forward line has been a shamble and all of a sudden up steps Fevola and the carlton forwards

I've been pretty hard on the case against Barker in favour of Terry Daniher. He's an assistant at Carlton at the moment, I wonder if he could be lured back to the Saints, probably not given the way he was treated by the club in the past.

That was Gt though, apparently Terry fell asleep at a seminar organized by Gt and that was the end

Cresswell is not up to a coaching gig, i would hope St. Kilda would not pick him up, thought it was going to be a breeze and couldn't handle the pressure.

saint66au · Post: # 580699Post **saint66au** » Thu 05 Jun 2008 9:04am

Reported in the paper today as having "lost the desire to coach"

funny you should raise Terry- report in the paper says no he isn't at the Blues this year- is coaching an Under 18's side- country maybe

I agree. And GTs decision to move him to backline coach seemed to be change for the sake of change. Never looked as good up forward as when he had them.

I believe he coached at 3 AFl teams in 3 years?
Collingwood, Saints, Blues.

headline on WWOS- network that has TWO AFL based football programs and based in the city from which the said player/coach had originated.

Another hit: Blues defence further weakenedNo desire: Kreswell quits as Tassie coach

andif they took it from the wires wouldn;t you think they could copy and paste?

Launcestonsaint · Thu 05 Jun 2008 11:18pm

From the Examiner (Launceston newspaper) today, "Creswell said that AFL Tasmania unwillingness to guarantee he would be coaching the Devils next year prompted his decision to quit."

Says it all there really.

What would prospective employers think of that, if true.

Don't mention bells and tasmania in the same sentence ever again...

skeptic · Post: # 581444Post **skeptic** » Fri 06 Jun 2008 11:48pm

Just on TD ( i remember following it closely at the time)

the contention was that he was very limited in his ability... as in there was only so much he coult teach AND that he had corporately embarrassed the club on a number of occassions with his falling asleep being the last straw...

IMO we should go for him especially if he's not coaching anywhere else... the 2 things i remember when he was forward coach were that the G-Train had his best season ever (as did all of our forwards for that matter) and our set shots were as good as I've ever seen.

I remembered noting in 2006 that GT's huge drop in performance as coach coincided with the departures of Burke and TD...

The innuendo is - that the Tassie football and netball departments have aligned rather too closely in this situation....
