If you were Potter...

Get the players together and build a relationship so they want to play for him and instill a winning mentality, at all costs, no surrender, black white and gold forever!
:sign:
 
First thing to do? Assert yourself without throwing your weight just for the sake of it. Which can be tricky.

We need a leader, the players are basically crying out for one.
 
I'd have a couple of the best steaks I could find tonite, cause with the $$$ he's on it might be a while before he has another one

Number one I'd spend the off season tackling. Tackle bags, each other, tackling anything that can move.
After we're done on that a little more defence, with a side of defence, fitness, a bit more tackling, then some defence to finish it off.
-Miller would be number 7 and given free reign to play his natural game. He didn't win a premiership, play origin or for Australia by being given a channel to stay in for the entire game.
-Benji back to 6.
-I'd be looking at Ayshford and determining if he's going to be a center or backrower for the entire year and training him accordingly.
-Every player would be in contention for a spot. As a new coach there would be no loyalty to boys club members.
-There'd have to be a way to get Adam Blair more involved in the game. Whether thats a positional change or a new game plan in attack. He needs to become more involved.
-Fitness, Fitness, Fitness. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought we looked a bit flat last year. I'd definitely be pushing the boys a bit harder.
-If Moltzen is going to remain at fullback I'd have him at training either 2 hours early or staying back 2 hours later, catching bomb after bomb after bomb and practicing kick returns. Worked for Slater.

I'm so excited about next year seeing what changes mick makes and how the team reacts to his coaching. I'm looking forward to seeing the team he names for round 1\. Can't remember being this excited for the season to start in a long time!

Well said. Agree with everything you said

I wouldn't worry about the Squad lacking fitness at the end of pre-season. Mick is an extremely fit guy and I think the Players will either be shocked or pleasantly surprised by his level of fitness. He will already be aware of where the Squad is as far as levels fitness, preparation and also confidence! The fact that he is happy with the training regime in place means its easier all round to get things up & running, I'm sure he will develop it as he goes along to his way of wanting to proceed!

Get on the right side of Alan Jones.

Stuff Alan Jones. He was a crap league coach and is an overpaid windbag. I thought he was now a souths supporter. I heard a few board members put the red pen through Parish as soon as Jones recommended him.

Alan Jones has no influence at the Tigers and that is a very good thing.

so that means he shouldn't listen to u either CK :laughing:

ohh i love offseason
 
Settle on a defensive structure. Decide quickly how he wants this team to play.

Start working on team blend & structure early- he's already behind the 8-ball. Get them playing together, not individually.

The team is skillful enough- structure & mindset are the only real areas in need of improvement.
 
What I'm finding is exciting is the thought that a fresh set of eyes are on all of our players - new ideas, no past connections.

Exciting times ahead!!
 
RING Chris Sandow and ask him the type of food he eats. Then give the list to Adam Blair so he can pack on the kilos then the real Blair will be on show.

Good advice. :smiley: :smiley:

Isn't that exactly what Mr Sheens did …

Geez you blokes are funny

In one breathe it's an endearing quality whilst in the one before it's chronic arrogance.
How long do coaches get these days before the shiny, newness wears off and they just become the incumbent chump who wouldn't know a sweetly timed run around from a Matt Groat sidestep (work in progress)

Good luck Mr Potter ... They're a tough crowd
 
I would introduce statistics based performance measurement and accountability …..

It happens in every business ....

First thing I would look at is why did Adam Blair fail to run the ball 100m s In so many games
