It probably increases the likelihood they continue coaching in the future, most guys seem to do it a max 2 years, as I said they watch their game on a Sunday or Monday, then the opposition, do some edits for players, as that's what AFL coaches do, hold meetings etc, they become burnt out, by the hours put in.
Mate its more the support and staying up to new trends in the game.There is not a lot of support for coaches. Level one courses are basic and then we stop developing coaches by making it very difficult to obtain a Level 2 and 3 accreditation. As for Level 4 its a closed shop. Coaches need to be given every tool available to enhance their coaching.
The most important thing any club can have is a committed group of players. A good coach helps, as does quality recruitment, but unless your core group has the same goal, a commitment to training and playing, you're fighting a losing battle... IMO
Recently obtained my level 2, was interested in continuing on and doing my level 3 and was told I need to coach for another couple of years to be eligible. Seemed like a bit of a high horse thing for those that are at that level and above. Why not provide the training if I’m willing and able?
Couldn't agree more. Although going through the levels doesn't ensure that a coach has success, it does provide great learnings. For the life of me I don't know why coaches have a cap placed upon learning opportunities.
Another of control mechanism ?
Perhaps some form of elitism but coaches need all the support that they can get. We bang on about football being inclusive and a game for all...just not when it comes to coaching development.
Most would like football to be inclusive and the AFL believes it is .
Yep most of the kids drafted are through the private school system now, the tac cup has turned into a minor component of been drafted, with huge costs for parents to travel round the state, add to the fact that coaches are also paid way more to coach in that system, footy is now an elitest sport, run by private school boys
I’d suggest changing it over to 2022 when it’s 2022 .
We might not make it! A week at a time I say!
Who cares Roar. Aucklander has been a good man on here over a couple of difficult years. I would not like his job with the many strong and diverse personalities on this forum.
I care and it wasn’t having a crack at Aucklander nor the job he’s done .
Jeez Roota. That didn't take long. Like I said, strong and diverse personalities.
Not that much chat on here at all to be honest Jayco. Coaching grades aren't specific to 2021 but anyway who cares when we move to a 2022 thread.
I was a moderator for a number of years including when the change over to this format occurred .
There are worse players than Gibbons on AFL lists. Very surprised to see him delisted. A dual JJ Liston medallist with 47 AFL games under his belt is a great get.
I think it came down to costs in salary caps, Gibbons is 15-25 on any list i would think, he'll be a star at Yarra
