"Did you coach at dandenong?"
"Yes, yes i did"
"Here is the job"

Good luck rebuilding the titanic.

Decent team at Casey il sure with the right coach now I'm place they will be back up there.

Why are you announcing it on here? I doubt any other association office pays too much attention to this forum.

Phil Thomas? Wow

Why Wow?

He's been there two years already

Check the guys' track record.

Care to elaborate. What record do you speak of? Or care to steer us to where we can check it?

So annoying that people throw shit and hope it sticks rather than say this is why I have an issue with him or her. If you make a statement about someone and fail to substantiate/elaborate ithen people have even reason to think your full of shit with some axe to grind against an them. Make sure it's true not just someone said or I heard; facts.

Phil Thomas is a good regular season coach if you go by his past 2 season record. He turn the Cavs youth men team around from a bottle of the ladder team into a top 3 team. However when the finals start, his team has choked both seasons. None bigger then this season against the Breakers at home when they were up 21-4 at quarter time and ended up losing by 5. As an outsider looking in, it seems his game style is good during the regular season, but doesn't stand up during finals

Anon - chocked or beaten by better sides? In 2014 they lost to the eventual champion who beat them 3 times that year. And they lost to a grand finalist again this year. Not exactly losses to hang you head in shame about.

From memmory the side he took over were 9th in 2013 and a basket case. Having coached against the guy last year they certainly had a good turn around and looked the goods early this year.

Like I said Phil did a good job taking the youth men team from a bottom 3 team to a top 3 team during the regular season but his coaching style doesn't stand up during finals

But they definitely choked this year. Had beat Mornington comfortable both times during the season. If you look at both team list, Casey had the better list.

They aren't the only team to choke in this year's finals series (Ringwood SCM in the semis, McKinnon SCM in Game 1 of GF, Blackburn YL1M in semis) just to name a few

Casey beat Mornington by 14 first time (not comfortable, were you there?). Beat them the second time after one player hit 5 3s in last quarter (were you there?).
Only stood up when the team beat the champs Warrandyte on their court in FINALS.

Unfortunately if Paky get their youth men's team I know a number of players have been approached to play there. If this team gets in could hurt casey for a couple of years

If Packy need players from Casey in order to feild a Youth side then why would they be putting a side in? Whole point is to give players about to graduate from juniors somewhere to develop before seniors.

Believe Pajdic the old Keysborough youth player is taking on the role of youth coach there. Be interesting if can duplicate there the success he had at keysborough.

Paky YL, is that the Friday funny?

The clubs if they have the right direction around that area are gonna be Packy, Casey and Chelsea (Excluding SEABL clubs). The other will eventually fall by the way side with no domestic or juniors to back them up.
