Madge Maguire - Mega Thread

[Mighty_Tiger]

Pascoe is doing his job well. Our books and future off field plans look the best they ever have. Can’t see him being pushed.

Madge on the other hand, if we start to play Madge ball like we did against Souths week in week out our season turns around & we have an identity on the footy field. But if we don’t can’t see him staying.

At this stage the finals look out this season if not now a loss in the next couple of weeks will seal this appalling record ..Madge has been here for three seasons and brought in many players unfortunately if there is a get out clause in the clubs favour he needs to be punted at seasons end .
This is the reality of the situation the club NEEDS results on field and this coach is not achieving this ,three years is long enough to gauge if a coach is worth persisting with.

What a grubby job Danny Weidler has. It must pay well because what reward is there by profiting by unsubstantiated gossip? Bottom of the barrel human.

The other thing is - I watched my nephew play a trial game yesterday (u18s) and they shifted the ball through the hands better than the tigers. They had more depth, they ran at angles and hit the line hard.

These are fundamentals...is this Madge's fault? Probably not. It starts younger than when they come in to first grade.

Sheen's used to talk about players that dominated in the younger ages that would come in to first grade and struggle as they couldn't pass left-to-right.

My point is, it's a complicated situation. There's definitely things that are in Madge's control that aren't going to plan, yet there's also years of poor development after Sheen's left. They are only starting to being new players through.

I think the board need to consider their next move very carefully. They’re the ones making decisions which ultimately effect the on field performance. The same members have pretty much been there the last 10 years or more. If they keep sacking coaches because they don’t like his hairstyle then they may as well close up shop. I maintain that the on field performance is a reflection on the entire organisation. The board has a major influence on the culture of the entire organisation. They need to be accountable instead of exercising their power to look for a sacrificial lamb.

So this week we all listening to what Weedler has to say..... okey doke then.

How can we make the finals when we cant even recruit a State of origin type player? Give us a reynolds, finuane and staggs and we would make the 8.

It’s not as though the board don’t have a track record?

I agree, I think he should go

It's time

Yep , his message is being lost . I think he’s a good coach , but whatever he’s saying is being lost on deaf ears .
It’s now whether the club want to sacrifice this year for development , as we have a lot of great juniors , or , he gets punted ala Kearney last year , and we try and find a new voice in the locker room .

He was a good coach. His style doesn’t suit the game anymore. We can’t persist with him any longer.

 

[WT2K]

Can't be too far off now

 

[dazza65]

Ok so who do we get to replace?

 

[DarlingSt]

Can't manage a forward rotation, can't develop a game plan, has only succeeded in making our defense worse year on year

I think you’re right mate . He’s recruited so well , as well , so he can identify talent , he just can’t get the most of them anymore.
John Morris can coach . He turned a madge ball team into an attacking juggernaut . That’s no easy feat , IMO .

 

[TooLong]

Anything would be batter than Madge; this team does not want to play.

 

[Bigscreentv]

We started with 4 props in the forward pack in an era of set restarts. That in itself is enough.

 

[oldschooltiger]

He's a good coach who couldn't get us going. With Dragona and the Titans in the next 2 weeks. I cant see us winning either game.

The truth is that we now know that Madge can’t coach this team to any success.
As much as I hate the bloke, Cleary had an inferior team and had them playing decent footy.
We’re now stuck with a coach that can’t coach a win.

The future is very bleak . No matter who we buy they’re coming into Madge’s system. All hope is lost
