He would have to be one of the worst coaches in the VFA I have ever seen. He coached Williamstown in 1995 for a winless season. He is an absolute dud. Box Hill will be in for a bleak season in 2006 similar to the days of the old 2nd Division VFA days if this clown has been appointed.
Just because he did poorly with Williamstown back in '95, doesn't mean he will have a bad season coaching wise.
Has done an excellent job with the Geelong Falcons in recent years and don't think he should be treated so harshly.
Lets just wait and see.
It will depend on whether they are serious, or as I expect just going through the motions to satisfy Hawthorn.
Nothing wrong with that as long as they are honest about it.
Surprising to see the Hwathorn coach quoted so much in a story about Box Hill.
Serious about what Dolphin ?
I'm surprised that you're surprised that the senior coach of an AFL aligned team would have such input into the selection of his VFL counterpart.
I understand that your club has chosen to go down a different path but I cant help but wonder if your comments have more to do with a little mischief rather than genuine lack of understanding....... methinks you understand all too well.
From Andy Collins who has been fantastic for Box Hill, especially grooming young talent in the EFL (Collins had coached Mitcham previuosly). Box Hill could have done a lot better than Christiensen. He is a dud (poor communicating skills and cannot talk to save himself). I'd be surprised if he does any good. I know it was 1995 when he coached Williamstown to a winless season, but I cannot see much improvement from him. Collins did a fantastic job securing obscure talent in the EFL, but unfortunately the WAFL and SANFL pray on them like vultures. Steve Bailey deserved a chance on an AFL list but went interstate in the SANFL.
Collins will do ok with Coburg, albiet on a part time basis. He should have a crack at AFL level (assistant coach somewhere). He would do a far better job than Peter Rhode did at the Doggies in 2004. For Christiensen ?????

For heavans sake..............
Serious about playing as a club,
Serious about doing their history proud,
Serious about respecting their supporters
or have they given this away, to be Hawthorn's bitch?
I think you know the answer.
understand yet?
If not, maybe you can ask Alleway or one of the other 14 players that won't be there next year.
You could be right about one thing though. Having read the article again, I think I may have attributed some of the quotes from Cristiansen to Clarkson.
My first immpression was that there was more comment from AC than DC. (Hey, thats actually pretty funny!!)
But on second reading I think it was about right and it was only a minimal comment from AC.
There you go then. You get a spray and a retraction in the same post.
A spray ?
You call that a spray ?
Tired old cliches from a tired old argument Dolphin.
You keep preaching the gospel according to Dolphin ....but you're going to have to step up the volume a little old fella , the crowds are dwindling down that way.
Your comments on the Alleway thread show you up to be the mischief maker you really are.
But then , what else are these forums for but a little mischief eh ?

What makes you think that they wouldn't serious at Box Hill ?
Personally, I think the alignment between both the clubs actually works quite well very much like what we have at Werrribee with the Bulldogs.

There has been a bit of a rumour floating about, that Box Hill listed players would only be there to make up numbers.
I don't think its true, but its been going around the traps lately.

You can bet your last dollar on that Ons.
It straight from a couple of horses mouths.
Ben, to decide whether it works you need to understand what they want.
The Werribee alignment works because Werribee pretty much run their own game.
If Box Hill want the alignment to work the way it is apparently working, then also, it is working for them.
And Rico, cut it out will ya.
Its got bugger all to do with cliches.
I agree that there's nothing wrong with a bit of mischeif, but I can't see where it is.
As for the Alleway thread, just put up or shut up. (as they say!)
.....and as for the spray, I tried as hard as possible to be gentle. I understand that it must be difficult.
Just remember to tick them off the list as they go.
In any event, I was actually backing DC with my very first comment. All I saud was wait and see before you slag him as a no hoper.
Somebodies a bit precious I think!! Must be starting to hit home.
Just remember that I want this competition to remain, or return to being, great. This will only happen if clubs remain strong, even within alignments.
Dud coach
