Football Department Review

[PaulP]

Heard Leppa on SEN and was brilliant, there was a lot discussed but these were some of the main ones:
- He was part of a problem at one club, then 3 months later was part of the solution at another so its not necessarily that people are incompetent, just need to find the right role.
- Players who have potted the coach to the board would be the first to go, they are untrustworthy
- Richmond review culture weekly (externally by Shane McCurry)
- Andrew Russell - Does both Fitness and leadership - this is a worry to him, you need to have dedicated people in dedicated roles. Someone like McCurry works with many organisations and is constantly learning about his area of expertise and imparting it to organisations that he works with. Russell cannot be doing two roles efficiently, could be due to soft cap restrictions, comes down to what you value.
- Suggestions for Teague  - Try one or two things different this week to get players engaged and stimulated, e.g Get players to focus on the red time scores and what they can do to stop it happening. Stk and Ratten did it to stop runs of goals by getting Membrey to push back deep to the goal line, Higgins played higher up the ground and got more possies and more shots on goal as a result.
Ill try and find the audio and post it.

Thanks GTC. Not sure I agree with the second point, but the others sound OK to me.
