Post subject: I sense a successful Pie era ahead | |
|
I’ve followed AFL and Collingwood for years. I’ve noticed patterns that seem to re-emerge time and time again.
What do the most successful clubs over the last 20 years have in common?
They run a full review of the football club, examine the areas that need immediate improvement, make a plan and follow it through to the letter.
Leigh Matthews cleaned out the Brisbane coaching staff and hired his own team. He came with a plan. Geelong’s Brian Cook conducted a review, which caused Mark Thompson to become less hands-on with the players and working more to a system. Hawthorn conducted a review similar to Geelong and caused Alistair Clarkson to become less hands-on and work to a process. This worked for the Western Bulldogs and Richmond. Both had aging lists so they were only going to get a couple of years to win a flag.
You see a pattern emerging? Collingwood have a young list with a great blend of experienced players. Nathan Buckley has mellowed and learned to take his hands off the wheel. A happy culture is the secret to success in any business or team. The All Blacks are the ultimate example. Players signing for unders. This happens at happy clubs. Hence why I think GWS is losing so many players.
If history is a decent guide, we could leave a real mark on the game and be known as one of the truly great teams of the modern era. |

With the addition of Beams I am probably going to love the 6-6-6 rule. _________________ Human behavioural studies suggest people who use a lot of swear words tend to be more honest & trustworthy. |

And you can bet any money you like the brains trust at Holden Cntr. have gone into a plan that will benefit us and the 6-6-6 rule (as will all clubs)
Wonder what that new rule induce bulking up an all ready great midfield
Beams and De Goey waxing the mid and goal area during a game or mebbe Stevo and JT
Bucks said “ We ain’t finished —it’s not over

It feels a bit like recruiting Jolly and Ball with Roughie and Beams. |

A thought that popped into my head last night was "What if Jamie can get back to somewhere near his best? " What a dynamic forward line that would be. Okay, maybe only one really tall in Mason, but with so many high quality players roaming around him and a top mid-field delivering the ball, it could create havoc. Maybe |
