Matt Ryan is on record as saying a year or two ago, that all other coaches he has had have been good player managers or good tacticians - not both.

He said Arnie is the only coach he has had, at that stage of his career, who is both a good tactician and a good player  manager.

I just can't get over the antagonism from some fans towards a coach who is doing such a good job for Australia with the cattle he has?

The fact he coaches the under 23s, and keeps a close eye on the under 20s and under 17s, means he is fast tracking young talent.

How is behind here ahead of Davidson. It’s a travesty 

 Behich was horrible last night. Great servant but time to cut him.

To be fair to Behich, it seemed that every time he looked up with the ball he almost baulked at the thought of passing forward and looked for the back pass, almost as if it was the game plan to keep possesion and disregard anything else... 

Mat. One tee. He was then the captain of the NT. Fair to say that he's not a disinterested commentator.
