Thanks- could be right but they seem to promise a lot and not deliver.

Hi Graeme. Thanks. Selecting the team was harder than I thought it would be especially the opening slots. Green was great in many ways- I just feel at number 6 more reliability is needed with the bat.

Thanks Paul- yes I agree that having a few who can score 400 plus is key. Parkinson would be a gamble in Australia.

If England make it Down Under, this is a squad that could win the Ashes

Thanks kick to kick, fair point. I think there are two things- identifying overall proportion of coaches inside and outside; and then within that the relative successes- I have gone for the latter for manageability of the exercise but see the connection

Good points Kick to kick. Picking a benchmark is problematic. Maybe a historical average of all the coaches?

Thanks James good point about looking at the last two to three years. I guess I was thinking that the whole period for coaches would smooth out the fluctuations.

Thanks Peter- yes Witts is interesting as you say. Before his injury he was going very well at the Suns including the captaincy

Thanks Peter, yes very frustrating to watch the same thing over and over, especially either chipping it around and/or then just bombing to an aimless contest. The few times that they look any good are when Moore delivers to Howe through the middle, in which case I am unsure why Magden is the outlet player (admittedly he was on the wing and played a reasonably good game).

Is this a watershed moment for the Richmond era?

Chris, thanks. Not sure you understand the premise of the article at all. It is about coaches under scrutiny from most scrutinised or under pressure to least. How can Buckley with his “ out of touch “ style be at the bottom??? How can Beveridge who won a flag just five years ago and has them in great shape be at the top?

Fab Phil, thanks very true about number of coaches at Collingwood, but the ones that are/have been there seem to have to endure a lot.

Thanks Peter. Yes dead right about frenetic scrutiny of coaches. I think the same is happening with trades- the talk starts earlier and earlier every year !
Buckley for GWS? Could be fit although there has been talk before about him heading into AFL corporate world with some high profile position.
