I hope for two things......that he stays long enough to build, and that this club finally goes through a few years of stability. So sick of the bloody revolving door.

Career coaches are using the VFL as a stepping stone to the big league.

Wonder why he left the Gold Coast? Reckon he would have wanted to stay there with Hardwick..

There needs to be some significant additions to the playing list for next year...not much good spending all that money on a new coach and then asking him to work with blunt tools.

Maybe he just really wants a senior coaching role. Maybe he has personal reasons for coming back to Melbourne. He spent a decade at Sandringham Dragons so it sounds like he has ties to the region, so maybe he just wanted to come home. 

Hopefully his appointment can draw some players in. One thing that Kornberg's been praised for is forming a bond with players and creating a culture where people enjoy playing. And that's something we desperately need at Frankston. We need to make it a place where people want to stay, not just a place to get drafted from.

TBH, I was hoping for a higher profile coach who would attract players, but those guys on the selection committee know their stuff, so no doubt we got the best man.

I shudder when I see that business about 'forming relationships with players' Shouldn't they be worrying about whether he can coach or not? A couple of notables who were praised for building relationships were Skrobolack and Brendan Bolton - we all know how that worked out.lol

Forming relationships with players is one of the biggest aspects of whether someone can coach. Having strong buy-in and culture is every bit as important as game plan. You need both, obviously, but one without the other is a recipe for failure.

He's something of an unproven coach, but there are promising signs in my opinion. In his year of senior coaching at Sandringham Dragons the club was sitting on top at the time the seasons was called off, and last year he led Gold Coast reserves to a preliminary final. 

I understand perhaps wanting someone more established and proven, but to me Kornberg checks the right boxes for our list. He spent a decade involved with the Dragons and also spent time with Carlton and North Melbourne's AFLW programs, which is the experience you want in someone who's going to be coaching a young list (quite a few of whom were recruited out of the u19s league) and a women's program that's already developing well. He's spent a large chunk of his life involved in coaching and has had positive results in his admittedly short time as a senior coach. 

It's possible it won't work out, but we won't know until next season rolls around. For now I'm happy we've got a senior coach in time for him to start preparing for next year.
