Des Hasler!

[HappilyManly]

The irony is that, according to the stats, DCE made zero runs and zero metres gain. Yet he has been judged the halfback of the week.

Player Stats has him with 5 runs, 300+ kick meters ...

Des also seems to be more friendly and relaxed since his return to manly

He is as happy as the fans and players

As he said at the season launch: ‘Home is where the heart is’

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

No. No, they are not. Never forget how bad they were for our club and the lessons learnt.

Who? 😉

Nobody trawling up my hundreds of posts re Barrett/Hasler/Team requirements.....I wonder why?
It feels good to use my eyes and ears to propagate a sound idea regardless of the noise from the naysayers.
By the end of the year, it may well be that we are all on the same page....well, maybe not all 🙂
Just stirring lol

The trawling of historical posts on here is a very selective process mate. VERY selective indeed.

Happens here every week.

Statistics don’t always identify the value of a players contribution to a team’s success. An example is Cronk in last years grand final.

Just watched this for the first time - guy in the video was extremely upset when Des defected to the Dogs

A shot here of my son, standing with the great Des Hasler yesterday. Des had given up his time to go and coach the first 15 at my son’s school. Apparently he was very nice, and let the boys take a few pics. My boy told him he was a legend, and was doing a great job this season.

Poor light in the shot, but hey they’re 13 year olds...

A sign that we are in for some great years ahead is the minimum amount of player movement in the squad and players taking unders to stick together. There will be maybe one rep player come into the squad and a few roll players but that’s it. Bring on the next 10 years. We are in for a real treat.

Des the popular pick for coach of the year, and deservedly so.
Surprised that Robinson doesn’t even rate a single mention though, even allowing for his stacked roster. Clubs just don’t go back to back these days yet he has them in pole position.

Stuff like this amazes me

Brad Arthur has taken the Eels from the wooden spoon last year to a guaranteed finals berth. He's done it with pretty much the same squad, including a lot of players who are off contract and still playing for a new deal - this "keep them hanging" mentality has worked with several veterans like Michael Jennings.

They had a terrible year last yearand this year, considering the money spent, are around where they should be.

I don’t think Des cares nor should we. Job half done let’s go boys!

 

[Kevinward777]

Dessie’s back... back again.

They had 3 big buys, all first graders and Sivo has been a revelation like Garrick.
Blake Ferguson, Junior Paulo, Shaun Lane, Maika Sivo

Our biggest buy was Elgey and a few other reserve graders.
Des easily coach of the year, and the job is not done yet.

Does he forget who coached them from 4th in 2017 to last in 2018?

Even Bellamy's wife? He couldn't have done it all without her support.
