Chapter 1: What is the snapshot overview of today's episode?
I'm Gerard Waitley. Here's a snapshot of Thursday, June 18. Adam Simpson ran the culture check over big boy conversations at footy clubs.
Chapter 2: How do modern coaching conversations differ from the past?
The fact of the matter is the big boy conversations are real, but they're all done in a different way. It's not the same as 30 years ago. It's not the same with Dennis Pagan telling me to open the Venetians, open your eyes more, you look like you're soft sort of thing. And then I go, I'm going to prove you wrong. And I would tell no one.
Now, if you don't follow up, the art of a conversation, the giving and receiving feedback is so critical from a coaching point of view. And Dimmer's all over this, so this is not a criticism of Dimmer, but to berate someone or to put it on someone in front of others is a no-go zone anymore. And you wish it was different.
You wish it was like, you know, this stays in the room, but what the hell was that type of conversation? Unless you get permission sort of thing. If that's what Toby Green likes, hey, listen, give me a clip and this will send a message to everyone. That's really smart leadership.
But if you do that, you know, off the cuff or in a way that a player feels berated a little bit, it works the other way. That's when you do get unrest. So I'm sure Dim is not living in that world. I'm sure there's good relationships that are built and
Um, well it needs to be anyway, if they're not built, if they're not strong, um, and it's not delivered in the right way and there's no followup, then you run the risk. And I don't think Chris Fagan does that. I don't think Chris Scott does that. I don't think Justin Longmuir does that. So there's just... You're the coach. It's your call.
You do what you need to do to get the best out of your group.

Chapter 3: What role does feedback play in coaching effectiveness?
And sometimes they need a collective clip. That's no worries. But when it's like, and you, um, and I've done that a few times and I've followed up and I've saved it just, but there's a skill in saving it. Otherwise you do run the risk of the locker room going, what about this? You know, didn't even mention him. He's bloody love child over there.
He does it all the time, you know, just cause he kicked five, uh, It's okay for him to get away with it, but, you know, I'll cop it. And then they say, yeah, yeah, you're right. And then all this, that's every club. That's junior footy. That's state league. It's AFL. And it's not players being precious. It's just there's, they're more in tune to, oh, okay, that's what it's going to be.
Then guess what? I'll ring my manager and da, da, da, da. So I'm not accusing Dimmer of that at all. It's just that the follow-up's important and the big boy conversation.
And Simmo is buying in on the Adelaide Crows.
Yeah, I've converted. I wasn't. I just think it was too basic the way they played. So the Hawthorne game in Tassie for me, it was like, okay, if you're not going to win the contest in pressure, you sort of don't win the game. But the way they defended, we show a couple of clips, maybe one too many, last night on just how good they are defending their forward 50.
So they've conceded nine points in the last eight weeks from that area. So... You get it back in your own D50, you go all the way up the other end. So once it gets in there, it's not coming out. And their ability to lock away all exits and make the game a contested one. So they're number one at tackles, number one at pressure. And then their Ford 50 defense is electric. So...
Are they going to be the one that gets on a run? It wouldn't surprise me. They get some talent back. Dawson's having an all-Australian captain year, really. I think their ruck stocks, that's changed now. I like what they do in the middle. Berry's having a good year, and they've just got to get the front half going again, like it was probably last year. And I think they can achieve a fair bit.
So, yeah, I wrote them off. I was wrong, and now I'm probably over-indexing them again. But I think they're going to be the runners.
Brenton Sanderson set us up for Fremantle versus Geelong. The big thing I think for Chris Scott tonight is going to be forward 50 tackles. So put that measure up and anything like 10, 12 plus indicates you've got your front half pressure up and turnovers forced in Geelong's forward half. You can provide that information to players.
