He would be my #2 choice behind bomber but like bomber won't move interstate.
Woosha would be my top pick followed by Ratten

What about Mark Neede?
He was highly regarded as an assistant coach at Collingwood.
Damaged goods
Seems like the majority of MM highly endorsed assistants gave failed
Would be happy with any of the 3.Woosha would be my top pick followed by Ratten
Would be happy with any of the 3.
Ratten is the only 1 imo we have a chance to land. Need to make a solid offer.

Why would he leave Hawthorn?
Imo we need someone who has the ability to get on with most footy people.So was Dean Bailey - but a specific job description would give him direction.
He can come to afc knowing if Sando doesn't have success as a coach he could have the inside running... Or more hopefully he has a less stressful senior director of strategy role bringing the best out of Sando who is in more need of support than Clarkson!Ratts may also be a little pissed that he did not get Clarko's gig during his leave of absence

Not convinced neelds' people skills would be good enough.
Also, seems to be limited to plan a strategy.
Better off as an assistant rather than director of strategy role imo.
At the level we need someone who can read the situation & ability to relate to all parties.From the outside Neeld style fractured the playing group from day one
It seems that he had a pre-determined strategy to arrive at Melb with all guns blazing opposed to finding the right balance between stick and carrot and building relationships
I don't think he will make his way back to a AFL asst role
I moved away from Adelaide more than a decade ago to chase my career and looking back over the past 12 years it is fair to say that I would not have had the opportunity to work for 3 leading ASX organisations if I remained in Adelaide
It's amazing when you travel throughout Australia on business just how many people you meet who are from Adelaide and have a similar story to mine and that is exploring greater career opportunities forced their move so with this in mind their is no doubt in my mind economics is a real factor
There are so many things to love about Adelaide, the city and it's people and it's always been my belief that Adelaide as a city needs to become a real boutique city, it does not need to be as big as other cities but just do everything better, food, wine, festivals etc.....
However with most top ASX companies head offices established in either Sydney or Melb and with the mining sector dominating Perth and Brisbane the economic challenges facing adelaide are real
Does everyone in Australia despise Adelaide and there's absolutely nobody that wants to work or play for The Crows? Not at all. I love the Crows and there are some fantastic people at the club. But I have spoken to countless people both from Adelaide and elsewhere, some involved in footy, most not. The huge and overwhelming consensus amongst these people I've spoken to is that most people outside of Adelaide simply "don't rate" Adelaide, for one reason or another, and don't want to live here - particularly young people. There are a range of reasons brought up, but the main themes seem to be a small population and fewer social attractions, along with generally poor financial and economic prospects.
Missing a guy who is averaging les than 9 effective disposals a game?I think our forward line would improve with improved delivery from the midfield. We are missing Kerridge.
Missing a guy who is averaging les than 9 effective disposals a game?
With only 1.6 inside 50s a game?
Averaging less than 5 kicks a game? ??
Retiring AFL ruckman Dean Cox says he will definitely be in a coaching role next year, but he's not 100 per cent sure whether it will be at West Coast.

Need to offer The Big utensil some serious coin. What a replacement for Clarke.Add Dean Cox to the list of desired targets:
Kane Johnson syndromeThose 1.6 bullet passes = potentially 1.6ggp = 32 goals per year. I'd take that in a heartbeat.
Playing a shutdown role has impacted his numbers. But I'd take one of his bullet pass I50s over 5 long bombed I30s to a double teamed Betts that we are currently doing.
Quality not quantity.

You must first ask why the mids are kicking long bombs to a double teamed betts. Where are our 3 genuine talls or lynch at that moment. Are the mids ignoring obvious and better options or are they attempting a 30 metre bullet that ends up as a 50m loop bomb. We cannot blame the mids in isolation, the fwd line structure and system must bear some responsibility. Another issue may be that our clearances aren't clean enough, often enough, to provide quality entry into the 50. Simply blaming the skills of the mids is a little simplistic, there's more to it than that.
