Luke Brooks 150 games

[The Rosco]

That's what I meant - he's still "raw" after 7 seasons.

Surely times nearly up. I think it'd be beneficial for club and player to try something different.

Well said, AJB.
Put another way, if you had been exclusively dating the same girl for 7 years and she hadn't shown you her 'gina . . . well my friend, you might as well log on to the hamster.

You don’t really want to build up a player publically if you don’t want to put on pressure him.

And we saw a considerable amount of club interview time talking him up last week and calling him to lead.

And it puts a lot of pressure on him because it’s from a very senior source.

And if he fails, it’s easier then to justify replacing him, otherwise the coach is found out as a subscriber. His words can be used against him.

If you want to protect him, you don’t really place him under public scrutiny.

And I noticed we had Jock join Pascoe for a whole episode of meet the boss giving him a lot of publicity and raising his profile. The club want him in the fan consciousness.

That’s pretty deep mate..Could it be that Madge just got it wrong in publicly building Brooks up to inevitably look stupid afterwards ..I saw no reference to Brooks getting it terribly wrong or something he couldn’t fix when AD gets back in the attachment on M’s post yesterday from the WT website..Just the usual smoothing over, she’ll be right. I think Madge is just praying Brooks will come right coz he’s why Brooks is here....More optimism about the coach for no reason

The illogical 2 yr extension to the bums contract has got to be haunting Maguire.It was a horrendous judgement call which if the coach doesn’t find a solution for soon will have severe repercussions on his coaching future.We will never play finals footy if the delusional Maguire continues to believe brooks is his man to steer the team around the park.

It was a bad decision but Im not going to crucify Madge for it. He did what we all did....hoped that Brooks takes that step up. I think even he would be thinking of other options.

Best I can figure is that Brooks was re-signed at least 8 or 9 months before Hartigan was recruited as recruiter.

Meaning that the decision belongs to the past era.

No doubt it had Madge’s blessing, but we now know Madge is underneath and subservient to Harto in these matters.

Bad decisions are made by bad coaches who in the short term are moved on eg Garth Brennan /Ash Taylor...Good coaches know exactly what’s most important in a good half. They certainly don’t assume or hope these things will suddenly appear out of nowhere and they move on it immediately. At the time of signing at the end of 2018 Brooks was talked about as an origin candidate and then massively fell away. That combined with his complete inability to ice games when the pressure was on should have put up red flags for madge..There were alternative options for an astute coach.
Madge really hasn’t stopped making bizarre decisions since.

Madge is our current era and despite not being involved with recruitment, he will make more decisions on selections than we can poke a stick at

“We”stopped doing that a few years ago

I'd love to see Brooksy have a blinder today. Go Brooksy.

 

[Tigerm]

Hopefully his last game for us for a while at least at 7?

 

[Tiger05]

He was poor. His kicking game just went away from him.

He was, but he had a few mates

We just aren't putting a good performance together. I suppose we pray they turn up next week.

As you said, there’s a number of players who join him.

Anyway, I’m too ticked off to post.

Lazy, inept, incompetent and third rate. That’s the nicer of my thoughts.

Hello spoon, welcome to Concord.

Including the coach or do you still think he has an idea?

Youre right, I’ll keep Laurie.
