Just because you've never seen something before, that doesn't make it unprofessional.
Maybe the kid has an interest in coaching, so his Dad let him watch him in the box for a game. I don't see anything wrong with that.

There have been occasions when kids have had a chance to be in the coach's box before, mostly sick kids who just love their footy team, so the club does something nice for them. If they aren't a distraction, then it doesn't matter.
I was going to say the same thing. Would it be considered unprofessional to let a make a wish foundation kid sit in there if that was his wish?

What do you guys think about Arthur allowing his teenage son in the coach’s box during the game against Cronulla? A little unprofessional ?

From memory that was the day the Matts GF was played and BA's son was part of that game. BA made a comment in a presser that he was going straight from Matts game to Shark Park so I guess he also had baby-sitting duties that night as well.

It could have been "bring your kid to work" day too for all we know.

Dear Gary,

Can you please explain Barry's latest joke for me

Cheers,

Watches = Witch = Wicked Witch of the West

Hence the comment "He got banned, didn't he?".

Get it?

Yep HM grand final was on earlier that day. Pretty sure both BA's kids have also helped out as ball boys and in the pre game warm ups for quite some time.

Thanks for the Welcome Back, Now my media diet has calmed down a bit, I can get onto forums a bit more. Must say the FB groups are staring to shit me to tears.

As for needing a hooker, yeah I am not happy with the pass consistency of Keysa he seems to put it either well in front of, above or below the bread basket of our play makers which lessens the time they have to act.

His work in defence two games ago was seriously awesome, but in the end it doesn't make up for much at the start of the year.

If people cannot see that the coach and his tactics are the main problem, then this team and us supporters are going to suffer for quite some time.

No mate. We have just been unlucky. The fact that we got an afl guy to prepare us physically and the coaching staff are at a loss as to what is happening is neither here nor there.

And when the club won’t pay out a coach what do you expect to happen?

There really is nothing we can do about it but hope for miracles!

He embarrassed himself during the presser. The reporter wanted an answer to who is responsible for this mess (he even mentioned coaching) and BA kept saying that different players are making the same mistakes every week. He should have said that HE IS f**kING ACCOUNTABLE and the buck stops with him.

He is starting to sound like Ricky Stuart.

Please just f**king go.

Maybe BA should have come out at the presser and said 'Look it's largely my fault, but I don't know....plenty of my trusted staff seem to have no problem feeding their mates their own particular version of what I'm doing wrong...but hey, they'd only be doing that with the interests of the club at heart...who knows what else they're up to?'

Mate I sympathise.
We want to sack our coach too and he has lost just 2 games, but tens and tens more over the previous years.

Technically he has only won 2 games from the last 13. I don’t know that any club in world sport would put up with that.
