Steve McKee

[zips]

Yes it is an interesting one.

I remember a young Steve McKee before his injuries.

Steve McKee was a very good around the ground ruckman - made position very well, took a few marks, but was very ordinary at centre bounces.
To my way of thinking, he did show early promise as a ruckrover type ruckman. This links well with their drafting of Kreuzer.

Football has taught us that you don't have to be a very good player to be a very good coach. To me, the emphasis should be:
1. The knowledge of what should be done on both a theoretical & practical sense, and
2. The ability to communicate & impart that knowledge to those you are teaching so that they can practise it.

Time will tell how well McKee fits & succeeds in the role.

Steve ain't the brightest bloke going around. Not sure how his communication will go with the players. :whistle

I heard Gaspar's the new kicking coach at West Coke.

Steve McKee played for Aberfeldie in the EDFL last year, he cant run, never could, but at that standard he still looked slow.

y'know, as time goes on i wonder about the effectiveness of all these 'coaches'

For example, what benefits did we gain from Stuey Leowe's tenure as a fwd coach (or whatever his role was)?

Yeah I agree.

But on the subject of ruck coaches and some of the doyens of the game who occupy these positions, I am starting to think the AFL itself appoints ruck coaches as part of a deal worked out with the players association. It is part of a program to keep guys like McKee off the streets.
