Gut feeling Rawlings Poll

[yellow_and_black]

So does Ross Lyon. Book. Cover. Don't.

I agree .... was just saying

We also need someone with a clear defensive system and emphasis like Ross Lyon, Paul Roos and Mick Malthouse IMHO. I like Hinkley but I'm not sure if he's the man because I doubt a Geelong like system which is more offensive can work with our list.

Spot on.

Don't discount Alan Richardson.

I was neither here nor there on Rawlings up until this last weekend but after yet another poor team performance - i.e. poor in terms of doing teams things, i'm swaying away from him. Be interesting to see how they respond this week, if it's more of the same, then I'd say goodbye.

Get the feeling we've got ourselves another salesman - says the right things but can't deliver. Hope i'm wrong, I like the bloke, but thats what the salesmen type do to you isn't it - make you like 'em while feeding you *smile*.

I wouldn't assume Hinkley would coach like Thompson or the club he came from.

Clarkson and Thompson coach differently to the systems they come from.

It's more about taking the periphials (culture, systems, training, development etc) from these clubs. Game plans aren't so duplicated.

Thompson is well known during his time at Essendon as a assistant for experimenting and doing some weird ass (player's description i spoke to) stuff in their defensive zone which was entirely different to how Sheedy coached/perceived the game. I believe I remember Hird writing something about that also recently.

Get the feeling we've got ourselves another salesman spin doctor - says the right things but can't deliver. Hope i'm wrong, I like the bloke, but thats what the salesmen spin doctor type do to you isn't it - make you like 'em while feeding you *smile*.

Having been a salesman for over 30 years now I feel you have mistaken a spin doctor for a salesperson. Integrity is the main ingredient for longevity as a salesperson - as soon as you *smile* a customer it gets around and your career is in the gutter.

Good salespeople under promise and over achieve. And their customers keep coming back to them.

Spin doctors do the opposite.

The thing that infuriated me the most was our kicks ins and their kick outs - We would struggle to get the ball outside defensive 50 every time and the Swans would clear the ball virtually every time at will (i.e.) under no pressure. Surely the kick ins, and their kicks outs are not rocket science, it is one part of the game that is mainly coaching, running hard and some tactics. How can we be beaten so badly in this area - is it pure laziness (i.e. not being willing to run) stupidity or both?

Yep poor old Newmo has really struggled with the kickouts in general this season. He's been good previously so I tend to put it down to what he's kicking to rather than the kicker himself.

Been a salesman for over 20 years myself and certailny didn't mean to offend. "Spin Doctor" may have been a better choice in my post.
