News Premiership duo Brent Guerra and David Hale join Fremantle coaching staff

[Dixie Flatline]

Brent Guerra and David Hale (who both played in the 2013 premiership over the Dockers) join Ross Lyon's coaching panel, together with former Kangaroo Anthony Rock.

Guerra was coaching Chelsea in the Mornington Peninsula Football League last season, whilst Hale has recently retired as a player.

They replace Brett Kirk and Simon Lloyd, who both have recently left the Dockers' staff.

Good luck to Goo and Halestorm, but not too much when the Dockers play the Hawks.

Lyon's mentality: If you can't beat them, join them.

Hey on the plus side, Freo finally recruited a forward. Too bad he's retired though

He really should be hiring ex forwards he has defense down pat.

Geurra will be good over there. Not sure what Hale is bringing to the table? Wouldn't have earmarked him as coaching material.

Bringing in some inside sources to understand our game plan. Ross has always struggled to understand why his game plan always failed against us.

What?? No love for Anthony Rock? Was a handy player for us 1999-2001 when we were starting to get our shit back together.

Edit: Also played in Box Hill Hawk's first ever Premiership in 2001 so technically he's a Hawks Premiership player.

Hale actually has a really high intellect second only to Langford, has a great understanding of the game as well, pretty good pick up by them.

Lyon: 'Ok guys we brought you in for fresh ideas, what did you guys do at Hawthorn?'
Goo and Hale: 'Tried to kick goals'
Lyon: 'You're both fired'

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Good luck to both of them.

When is Ross Lyon going to join Fremantle's coaching panel?

Congratulations Guerra and Hale - and all the best. Don't pick up any bad habits now.

He has to win something first to get onto it

Sooooo never?

 

[Brant]

Goo as a defensive coach & Hale as a defensive coach???

Stuff like this and the fact that fully one third of the AFL is now coached by Clarko or a Clarko disciple is why I'm glad that our current gameplan isn't undermined by being known by an opponent.

Hale is actually a secondary school teacher.
With a lot of hard work its hoped he can get Hayden Ballantyne to read by the end of the year.

I'd say that and a lot Hawk intel is a pretty decent start.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I just hope Hale doesn't destroy the Freo myth that ruckmen should get 71 hit outs in a game.

 

[RustyHawk]

LOL. Wasn't Ross the Boss the one who sacked Brett Guerra from the Saints and then thus sending him to us? That turned out to be another great move hey Ross.... we win, you lose, sounds like situation normal.

Well done to David Hale. Sadly has a very big job ahead of him trying to build a forward line set up for the Dumbers but if anyone can do, he can.

No that was grant thomas. Im interested to see if they have any sort of impact on our style of play, especially moving the ball from d50 to f50.

 

[Gralin]

Will be interesting, Hale is currently or soon will be a qualified teacher, he said he was close in his retirement speech. He's been very effective in nullifying opponents that should be able to beat him, he's smart and obviously having played 237 odd senior games as a ruck and a forward with 14 years of AFL experience at 2 clubs he would bring a lot to the table.

 

[Stranglers]

The number of recruits to other sides in a coaching capacity, whether ex-players or ex-coaches, speaks volumes.

We are the premier side in the competition whichever way you care to look at it.

I read your posts with an harpsichord leitmotif playing in the background of my mind

Just thought you'd like to know

Goo and Halestorm might suggest that Freo try and score a few goals each game....just for something new....

Just a shameless attempt from Ross to steal intel and other juicy details. I actually feel sorry for him, losing that many clutch games would have to scar a person.

If Hawks don't win flag I hope Freo do. Poor bastard..
