SA Footy

from what i hear & i want to bet on it is that brodie atkinson WILL COACH sturt next year as the rumblings are the same as what we had last season & infact if sticks wasn't under contract brodie would be coach now i got this from someone that would know

...who of course shall remain nameless.

of course although he/she or it did say i could put it down here

Fair enough.

Who cares, other than Sturt supporters. Not me!

C'mon Coorong, that's not the spirit.

One of the poorer comments ive seen in the history of safooty.

well they didnt make his assistant for nothing...we all bloody hope he gets the gig after sticks is done. watch for squizz to be offered a coaching role too when he is done :D

Is this anyway to treat a coach who got you your 1st flag in 25 years??

Probably not Punk as I feel with the team we had last season especially he probably did about as much as he could.
The only knock I have on him is that in games that are played in bad weather, we try to play the same brand of football that we play on a perfect day. Whether this is because we don't have another game plan (serious question) or the players struggle to adapt to something different, I don't know.

i agree ORD, he does lack some tactical nouse at times, but overall he has been fantastic, very positive and always looking out for the SFC. By all means, i wasnt suggesting we get rid of him, just saying that, with Sticks in his last year of his contract (i think), the club is covering all bases as sticks has indicated in the past that the AFL is where he wants to coach. Id be happy to have sticks contract extended. He is a very good coach.

Coaching in the AFL,Sticks,I mean really.An assisstant job at best,his credentials are not really over flowing out of his CV now are they?

Sticks has done a great job but yes we do sometimes seem to only have one game plan.

Brodie however needs to prove himself. We all love Brodie and would love to see him be the 'A' grade coach one day but not before his correct time or not by ending Stick's time too early.

Have you seen North on a wet day (e.g. last round against Nwd)? Exactly the same game plan as a dry day so you are no orphans there!

I would have to concur that RL's comment seems the most appropriate
