What do we think of our coaching panel now? They plainly do not have the best list of cattle in this comp but now have negotiated the reigning premiers into flag favouritism. Roos outcoached Worsfold again, they've seemingly engineered aanother great run with lack of injuries going into September, and the young boys are really adding something to last year's champion team.
I still can't belive the Nick Davis fan club turned on Roos this year. Surely you have to trust his judgement and player management now? I even forgive his boring press confererences as something that needs to be done. And the other coaching staff (Jonas, Longmire, Lyon) will surely be snapped up for vacancies at other clubs very soon.
Interesting what Roos said (on the occasion of his contract extension) about the natural life of a coach at a club - the playing group inevitably get tired of your message after 3-5 years. A smart and realistic guy to see that, even when he's at the peak of the coaching roller-coaster.
Which brings us to Rocket Eade. I was really pleased to see his Dogs play with such daring and passion on Sunday. Here is a coach whose message wore thin at the Swans but still had a lot to offer a new team. To get them to play so well on such a big stage, against much more experienced (in finals) opposition, is testament to that.
