We'll have a better idea of Scott Watters' coaching style AFTER the Intra-Club game in Feb. The first thing we should look for is how he lines the players up;
Probables v Possibles?
Catholics v Proddies?
Sox Up v Sox Down?
Odds v Evens?
Any other ideas on how to match them up? !!
Watters coaching style different to Lyon's

What are you on about? Last failed AFL club? That last failed club actually won a flag with Lyon being an integral part of that achievement.The OtherThommo wrote: I think Watters will be different. He doesn't carry a siege paranoia, a background informed by his time at the last failed AFL club or monstrous gambling debts.
Lyon glues himself to the achievement elite. Watters will entertain opportunity for all.
Monstrous gambling debts? He invested in the stock market and lost. Call it gambling - but any investment is a gamble. He wasn't punting at the races or playing the pokies.
For a bloke with a siege paranoia he certainly came close to getting us our 2nd flag. You portray him as some psychotic dysfunctional nutbag. He's the most astute coach the club as ever had.
I saw most of Subi's games in 2007, they already had a strong base following from Peter German, so I didn't think Scott tinkered with it too much.
They had Brad Smith, who was an excellent WAFL level FF, Sam Larkins as the second key tall, Blake Broadhurst, an up and comer. Then a strong midfield who kicked goals-Cossom, Priddis (occasionally), Pickett, Webb.
I moved away after that, so lost touch a bit.
You could say he was lucky, but he also did well with the inherited list.

Lance or James??
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>)

I think TheOtherThommo was talking about our last two coaches combined, and how Watters is different to both (who had issues) ...Moods wrote:

Thomas had gambling debts & Lyon had the siege paranoia

Fair enough then. Misunderstood. Maybe combine the personalities and they are psychotic nutbagsLegendary wrote:I think TheOtherThommo was talking about our last two coaches combined, and how Watters is different to both (who had issues) ...Moods wrote:
