Bryan, you hit the nail on the head yourself. Why is GoEagles bagging out another club and getting involved in a slanging match. GoEagles should be and will be judged on this site on the integrity of the comments he makes and not on his footballing history. Generally those who have succeeded at our game at the highest level would not be interested in petty squabble. GoEagles comments did not come across as brimming with facts and knowledge but purely inflammatory. IMO GoEagles posts should not be justified purely on the basis that he is an ex-afl player. Though it is great to hear that this forum includes people with a quality background in football and not just the bagging trash which has forced people at high places in each club (like Oscar) to appear so infrequently.

coastal boy.... you there tomorrow???? your shout for bbq.... i will be there

I had the pleasure of meeting GoEagles at the footy on Sunday at an engagement I was invited to. I think he has the required experience to discuss such matters as GPS. I think it would be fair to say he has played more AFL (when I say AFL I mean AFL) games then the whole of this forum combined. I am not into the slanging matches that partake on this site but I think YoungKanga (C'Town fringe player) is lucky to be able to post on the same sight as this bloke. It is not up to me to uncover who this man is (that is up to him) but I will say he is the real deal.

The Rooster,

I was simply trying to find out if you were getting any benefit out of the GPS downloads. You weren't here over the summer. I believe you were playing in Darwin when KC rated you in the top 5 or 6 players in the league. All reports were that you must have been an up and coming gun player with so many people stroking your EGO. You can obviously play, but you don't seem to cope with what you percieve as a negative comment. I find your use of the word begining with M disrespectful to those out there that do have a disability. Unless you can construct an intelligent reply without being disrespctful to a group of people that don't deserve it then stay off the keyboard. The derogatory terminology that you have used to offend two members of this message board is simply juvenile.

i have taken your comments on board and disregarded them completly..... what i have found is that i am just as fit as some of our younger players even after playing 2 seasons in a row with the third as you well know started last week.... i think kc only mentioned top 5 or 6 as myself and fleming came equal 5 last year....... all facts none of roo boys fiction anywhere to be seen.

well going off the data i feel younger but maybe your name says it all..... stick to the couch MONGO.....

KC - I think what you are doing is good for the game Sydney. Any player feedback is good feedback and can only improve your playing group. Much like ECE who everyone strives that little harder to beat due to their off field and on field operations you will also raise the bar in Sydney. Well done.

Thanks mate, you have hit the nail on the head regarding providing feedback.

Cheers.

I like this post, correct you are at the top and good luck to them at the end. Your comments are going to make me look like a genius since according to you only a professional football club with at least 2 full time people are needed to get any benefit....I am not even sure why you would criticise, what difference does it make to you, even if you did know what we were doing?

Is it jealousy as more than a few have suggested or just the usual negativity associated with any attempt by the AFL or clubs to improve Sydney Football?

You know what they say! If you do the same things you get the same results!

But correct you are, everyone is entitle to their own opinion and good luck to you too, we also think it is worth a player or two!

[KangaCoach]

Correct you are. But at what cost does it cost to buy these tools if they cant be used correctly or for the purpose they are supposed to be for. I couldnt understand how a local football club could get any correct benefit when it would take 1-2 people full time at an afl club to monitor and report on the players GPS results back to each player.

Im sure the hierarchy there are soundly looking after their finances but surely the money would be better spent on junior development which would lead to less tuition and coaching when the player ultimately joins the senior group. Unless of course Supercoach is funding the project from his win at the courts, i would say that its a waste of money.

It looks good and professional to have these things but unless you are working on your grass roots and increasing their knowledge at a younger age (which doesnt really happen in Sydney) then it is total waste of time and resource.

But good luck to them - its probably one less player they could poach with the costs involved

The Rooster, you seemed to have used the GPS how did you go. How does your down loaded information compare with the YOUNG guys? Are you really only 27, past posts paint you as younger with a chance to crack the big time?

well going off the data i feel younger but maybe your name says it all..... stick to the couch MONGO.....

[GoEagles]

Go Eagles you appear to be well educated in AFL. You appear to indicate that you are or have been involved at the highest level of the game. In what capacity ie player/official etc and at which club. Surely you would understand the amount of time the senior coach or official at a succesful club would put in. ECE off field department would win the Admin. GF year after year for their efforts. What KC is obviously trying to implement at Campbelltown can surely benefit them this year no matter how big or small. Isn't that the job of the head coach to improve his playing group in order to win the elusive flag at the end of each year, and if his technology of Dart Fish and GPS do that then well and good. It may drag other clubs along and improve the standard of football within the Sydney area. From all reports it has dropped off the past 10 or so years.

I think those were just his posts.

go eagles first things first i am a eagles supporter but dont see my self as old at 27....... if you think that we will not benifit from the gps then you are a ....MONGO...

[The Rooster]

Lets be honest, unless you are a professional football club why would you bother with GPS system. And if you did, surely you wouldnt monitor an old bloke like parks (no disrespect parks) but put it on a kid and see how he goes?

I think Kangacoach is trying to bluff people in higher authorities that by getting these things that he is actually a good coach.

If the ydont win the premiership this year then questions would have to be asked why they didnt get their money's worth out of the tracking systems.

[KangaCoach]

Your the professor of the comp champ so why would i look it up. And for the record i know how it is used after being involved at an afl club and if you were as cluey as you make out to be then perhaps you might re-visit how to use it.

Looks like the kids are in good hands.....

Well I guess the important part is that I know exactly what we are using it for and why? You can speculate and guess how it will be of any benefit if you like while I get on with the job of providing valuable and welcome feedback to our players to help them improve.

[BeeEmmAre]

From what I can see the BDAFL have had a few dramas with the software too, as their results reporting hasn't been to the normal high standard.



FWIW, if the KangaBlues or any other club for that matter have the finances and the time to use these tech. aids to improve their teams performances then good luck to them. The only way footy will go forward in this state is if the clubs/leagues become more professional and implementing this kind of stuff is just the start. I'd suggest that it won't be long before other clubs start copying the KB's lead.

Bingo!
In my opinion those who bag clubs like East Coast and Campbelltown for daring to do something different to improve their clubs on and off the field either are not smart or resourceful enough to do it themselves - or they are just pissed off they didn't think of it first.
It's still the most obvious point ever written on this board that the dickheads taking all the pot shots are the ones who are too gutless to identify themselves.
