Balmain Coach

[Key Forward]

I see where you're coming from and I agree with what you're saying.
I just don't think it is right - I believe it is selling short the guys who deserve to be there and the long distance supporters who want to know exactly how their team and players are going.

Fair enough, I guess I see merit in both sides.

Totally agree KC. It must be hard to pick the 6 best when you have grocs like you & rooster playing and taking spots of others who really have the best interest of the club at heart.

Geez both of you were average against the Dockers. Is Troy allowed to be accountable? is he allowed to do anything he wants on the field?this because of the lack of money you can pay him? Coles had 10 shots on goal. If he kicked straight you were gone. One thing l give you KC at least your not like Hall.

average at what point did a balmain player make rthe effort to man me up?????? took 8 marks in the last 1/4 and all i could hear from the peanut gallery was..... WHOS ON PARKER.......

BeeEmmAre - I guess at the end of the day coaches have different reasons why they may put a player in the best or not, and it may not always represent the actual best for the day. Would you agree?

tara - From all reports you do a fine job and I am not in a position to argue. However, I highly doubt that all coaches or assistants, get to see every game every week. If I was coaching I wouldn't always have my best players in the best every week. That's all.

on the matter of coaches and being named in the best, Archer for Sydney Uni has easily been there best player every game so far, and was a stand-out against UNSWES, but I notice he hasn't once figured in the best. Surely this is how it is meant to be done. Hats off to Archer and I hope he's team continue to improve, like they obviously have over the weekend.

Don't worry, I am not about to change my name to I_Heart_Archer. Kefalas is still the one.

I heart Kefalas or may l call you IHK, Yes Archer does lead from the front, the only playing coach in Sydney that does. Noticed you on the telly your in good nick! Will you make the state team? Please tell Leigh to lay off the the flanges, christ he has stacked it on. Roll out the barrel!!!!!!!

I got some great news coming up. stayed tuned.

Well I hate to disagree Ash but our best on the weekend were actually as named. I know that Webby would have a laugh at the suggestion he was our best on the weekend. Although you are right, the players named may not always be the best 6. It is sometimes hard to find 6 best players and yet other games you could name 10! For the record I try to make sure the players who play well are acknowledged.

The punter on the side line does not know what job different players have or even who their direct opponents are most of the time and therefore are looking at just one phase of the game. Like you Ash different people have different opinions on what constitutes a good player and/or a good performance. I guess each teams coaching staff are in the best position to judge their teams best players although I must admit I have been amused myself on occasions. (Probably through ignorance of opposition strategy of course!)

Question for you Ash: A player gets 30 effective disposals, 14 marks and kicks 3 goals. What sort of numbers and performance would you need to knock him off for BOG & How would he possibly not be in your best 10?

I look forward to your reply and it will be interesting to see if there is any logic behind your analysis. (I will tell you Webby's stats after your reply)
