Geez I dunno what Birdwood people you spoke too about SJ prior to signing him because if my memory serves me correct I'm pretty sure he tried to poach a couple of players (one very good player) after playing Birdwood in a trial game whilst he was coaching Angaston, all taking place in the Birdwood clubrooms after the game. I am not sure any Birdwood person would be willing to put a good word in for SJ after that happening?

i remember that day and his family wanting him to leave and approach sj to see what he was worth, his parents were talking to him before he even walked in clubrooms how many players switch clubs these days any way happens all over, look after ur players and they wont have to get there folks to speak to other coaches lol

strong word is SJ will not be a Maccy next year whether they make the finals or not.

Bumped into a mate today, apparently his phone has been ringing hot from clubs already looking at 2011 and requiring an impact coach for quick results. If not signed by Maccy soon, maybe a club within 45 minutes or even returning back to the Kookaburra's in a mentoring capacity.

Who cares ???????

At the end of the day Birdwood is a lot better off than they were and Maccy is better off!!!!!

That will not happen while my ass (and 99.9% of the asses at the 'burras) points to the ground.....

Went and watched a game on Saturday in the Hills league between Echunga and Macclesfield,
Now I have seen some 'eccentric' coaches in my day, but the Maccy bloke was an enigma.
It wasn't even Anzac day and he was bringing up the Kokoda trail and the Rats of Tobruk,
there was something about Napoleon, and what the hell is the KISS method? Did Gene Simmons play football?
He had mis-spelt Full-forward on his magnet board and was holding it upside down for the whole quarter time break.
The masses must like his style though coz he was approached by 3 official looking guys after the game who all said
they were in the market for an 'impact' coach, he certainly had an impact on me, my head is till spinning.
Well worth the price of admission.

Brilliant! Sounds like the man we all know and love!

There's nothing like reminding our young guys about the sacrifices made so they can play footy every Saturday. Johnno has a plethora of inspirational messages.

my favourite Jonno moment was in one of his speaches before a game when he was talking about the match ups he pointed out that the most important match up of the day was between he and the other coach! That and pointing out that speed was our achilles heel (when he was refering to it as a positive).

and when people say that we're a better off club for having jonno.. i'm not so sure about that. We had good success while he was here but he drove alot of players out and stirred up a lot of bad blood. No not to sure about that...

[Stewie Griffin]

I pressed my ear to the changeroom door at half-time and he was firing the lads up with
an inspirational story about a crippled ant from some cartoon, there wasn't a dry eye in the room.

His favourite inspirational messages when he coached GG were "You're on notice this week" and "This is your last chance". In between self praise.......

Fair enough if you don't like a coach (can only keep half the people happy half the time) , But don't make up stories to discredit a person on a public forum.
Due to the country champs, the best local game to watch did look like the Maccy vs Echunga match. So i ventured over to Maccy and listened to both the first and third break talks by the Maccy coach. Spoke cleary and gave good direction for a team that was outgunned almost all over the park by the fast running Echunga outfit ( Echunga looked well drilled but a small side compared to what i would expect from T/Valley). Was hoping to see a good old fashioned spray but he was fairly restrained.

[Stewie Griffin]

Well, sorry Officer Panther of the Fun-police, another successful sting.
Surely 90% of the forum is taking the wee out of one another, I don't think anyone is crying themselves to sleep at night over it.
During his non-spray did he mention Gallipoli at all?

[The Panther]

You might cry yourself to sleep when someone sues you for libel damages.
