Do TEM have coaches for Men or Women PL yet? Romogosa and Kleinschmidt Ian or Mary? Assuming Victor doing Men? Recruited any players? MUHC had any luck recruiting?

Bayside is just as entitled to post as any other side. Their promotion into VL2 is no different to Yarra and TEM into PL, nor Casey's failure to get into PL. None of those sides won the GF in their respective leagues nor finished on top of the ladder. Mind you, the copitulation of Bayside in the VL3 and VL3R finals series last year was a sight to behold, particularly after all of the talk of the 'big guns' that were going to come in and fire in the last few rounds. Yes but both Yarra and TEM seem to be playing things pretty quietly on these boards I'd hazard a guess that most if not all the "club" people posting as these MVL2/3 clubs are in fact trolls from other clubs with too much time on their hands

Who is he and what is past coaching experience.

Footscray going to need another new coach end of this year. Merryman off to work for Brisbane Lions football club start of 2018. Might help this year but realistically won't factor into any long term help for the club, well spent footscrazy.

Great move to get Merriman. Hockey plus AFL will give club access to the best of the best even if for just a year.

Merriman hasn't coached a team to a position above 7th in state league or premier league. He couldn't take TEMS to the finals despite having almost the exact same roster as powerhouse but rather he almost got them relegated. He is good for fitness, but other than that his hockey coaching ability doesn't seem to be very high. So yeah good luck to them picking up a coach who has a average track record at best with a fairly stacked side. Just saying

Wrong. Meriman coached Powerhouse to the minor premiership in 2014.

Great move to get Merriman. Hockey plus AFL will give club access to the best of the best even if for just a year. AFL has heaps of cash and media coverage, but that doesn't mean that everything that comes out of AFL is 'the best'. Hockey coaches can learn a great deal by speaking to, and watching, how other coaches go about their business in both individual and team sports. What works in AFL may not work in hockey, equally what works at one hockey club does not always mean that the same methods/processes will be successful at another hockey club. The best coaches are the ones that are able get to know their players on a personal level, and then tailer their structures and strategies according to the strengths of the playing group. Interestingly, in Jan 2006 the Kookaburras played a home series in Melbourne against Spain. During that time Alistair Clarkson and a few of his Hawthorn FC coaching staff met with Barry Dancer and Colin Batch to chat about a range of topics, and also attended at least one of the games. I believe that one of the biggest things that impacted Clarkson was the way that the Kookaburras pressed the opposition and were able to regularly force turnovers. I'm not an avid Hawks follower, however I believe these changes/additions to their pressing played a big part in their preparation and subsequent success in 2008.

So yeah good luck to them picking up a coach who has a average track record at best with a fairly stacked side. Just saying History you are an and the reason people do not want to coach. Merriman took a super young team from SL2 to SL1 undefeated from memory, built them and guided them through the super competitive 10 team era, missing finals by percentage in final round following year. Huge numbers of players making State and aus squads over his tenure. First year up took PH to minor premiers in his final year. Think he was voted coach of the year by HV. Head hunted by HV think to coach 18s with John Mowat as his assistant. Put back in to the sport as state selector including Vikings and Vipers over 5 years. I know him through AFL where he is considered as absolutely elite in our premier sport History, withdraw you ic post or as a minimum offer an apology to a good man who volunterred countless hours at now 4 clubs and the State program Congratulations Footscray, great appointment

Maybe says something about the club's culture or the player just simply doesn't enjoy it enough to hang around As someone who is very close with the FHC goalie, I can assure you that he isn't moving and thinks the Merriman is worth atleast a year of his time. Also why can't he leave if he wants and not play PL? As much as playing top level hockey is exciting, I know plenty of players, including myself, that are happy with the grade they play even if it is Reserves or lower. If he wasn't enjoying it that is his choice regardless of grade or skill level.

Merriman, good bloke, good fitness trainer. Good coach? I dunno, as a former player of his I wouldn't say he was an excellent coach. He did coach his team to the bottom 3-4 for about 4 years and then finally after adding a whole another clubs ones and Malcolm kemp and wasseem, and watching other clubs drop the ball a bit to his team his team shockingly had a really good season and he was the whole reason behind it yes. I think he is a good coach, but he isn't going to drag a mediocre list, at best, at Footscray to a top 4 berth. They have 3-4 players you'd look at and go yeah okay they have a bit but they don't have the 9-10 21 state players, 4-5 ahl players, 2 internationally capped players (excluding indoor because who honestly gives a about that) that he had at TEMS in his last year and Powerhouse for a year or so. He will get some sort of improvement out of them, but to read some stuff on here it's like people think he will turn them for 8th/9th, which is about their level, to 4th/5th. You're dreaming.
