A half decent coach would be able to adapt to different changes in the climate and weather conditions, Muscat could not even do that.

Mark Jones, with Jets, and Paul Okon, with CCM, were both appointed just before the season started. This is very difficult for coaches.

I think both have done a very good job with many inexperienced cattle in their personnel. I hope both are reappointed. I prefer the way both teams play this season compared to their predecessors, Walmsley and Miller.

Both these coaches are value adding.

Hes the best coach in australia by a long shot. Hes a record breaker. No other hal coach has ever held all 3 domestic trophies at once. And all that within a couple of years of becoming a manager basically.

You should learn about australian football.



Is Wellington diverse?  Dont know, however this is a club that has no historical or existing link to a specific migrant group - Rusty Einstein

The negative stereotypes are perpetuated by people who either have no idea or are serving a vested interest; neither viewpoint should get anywhere near running Australian football -

They have surprised me with how well they have done, they have clearly been of benefit.

Finishes outside top two, loses key defender before start, playing away from home, playing against a team that just does not lose at home, cops a goal with 15 seconds to go, has three best attackers subbed out,

But gets his team over the line.

I don’t think you can say there is a best but if you could have any viable local option he’s your man.

If Arnold gets coach of the year over Ernie or Muscat then it's rigged. 

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Over the course of a season i don't think he is that good, but in cup games or a match where he needs to get a result he is excellent in doing so.

good coach, his weakness is winning big games. He's only won one Grand FInal am I correct? (plus only won the league once? - even Muscat has more trophies in a lot less time coaching). Lost every other he has been in, plus the FFA cup.

Hmmmm

The victory style is built for cuthroat games..could have easily won last years grand final as well. Inconsistent and often ordinary in weekly league play though.

Which ironically, should be the way teams set themselves up in a Top 6 league.

Flounder along and make the 6, hit a patch of form and win the one off games, become the Champs.

JPM has always been widely respected in NSW footballing circles, was very happy personally when he got an A League gig.  

As for Muscat I actually wouldn't mind him in the NT setup in some way.

Victory have a very expectant fan base. Rightly or wrongly a large amount of our fans expect us to be winning trophies every season. He has adapted the game plan and started making earlier and better subs which has led to a big uptick in form.
