Great appointment.

He said he's admired our club from afar for a long while, well that sentiment can be returned by me as he is a player and personality that I have admired from afar for a long while.

Good luck Darren!

Jarrod Cotton also announced as defense youth development coach.

Pleased to have Darren and Jarrod aboard.

Article points out he will be huge benefit to the leadership group, suggests to me we'll be naming a young skipper. Rory for mine.

I think you're drawing a long bow to the leadership thing.
Even if VB was captain, our leadership group is still young and would need guidence.

Dont get me wrong I'd love it if Rory was named skipper.

boy oh boy!!

we are nailing these coaching appointments!

A well respected captain/All Australian & should be a very good addition to our club.

On a side note the PA board are already flapping all around the place over this appointment.

Good stuff. Phil clearly had him in his sights from before he signed.
He was a fantastic defender and great leader for a top club. Very keen to see the type of leadership culture we build into the club - the last attempt didn't seem to have many tangible positives related to it (thought it is hard to tell).

Particularly hoping he gets a few hours a fortnight over the preseason to spend with Tails and Kardigan. Glasses ability to not only cover his man but fill space were something he can pass onto Tails - and just general improvement and compsure with ball in hand he can teach Kardigan. Glass had very limited skills but still made very few errors.

Glass - Shame it's not a full time appointment, and that he'll be based in WA for large slabs of the year. Hopefully that changes in the future. Still a great get.

Cotton - Don't know much about him, but nice to have some fresh faces around. Sounds like his role will be with the young defenders so most likely assisting with the SANFL team?

Great pick up by you guys!

Walsh said during one of his early interviews (maybe even the press conference), that Glass will be completing an MBA next year. So hopefully he'll be around on a permanent basis once that's finished.

Poor "widdle" Chad Whinegard is reported to have gone into hiding after hearing Big Bad Darren Glass is in the vicinity!!

 

[Tex200]

Lol - Whingegard's face was memorable that night!!

Theyve turned it into a "crows are all getting sniping lessons" because poor whingegard couldnt handle a little bump*


*shouldve got 2 games but thats irrelevent.

I think it's just upping his role from part-time to full time to the sounds of it. Wasn't working with the defenders in the reserves what he was doing this year?

Vossy who?

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

 

[Smoooothy]

also, just re-read the announcement

part time?

 

[Redline]

Just to clear up Cotton was basically doing the same role in 2014 just part time. He is just full time now.

 

[WAG]

also, just re-read the announcement

part time?

Doing his MBA so will likely move into a more full time gig once that has been completed.

I think its great that we are getting Glass, even half time, although there are some here who I am sure are seeing the Glass half empty.

No idea. Name didn't even sound familiar...

Hopefully pat doesn't scare him away

Get him to move his MBA to UniSA or Adelaide. Jeez where's the commitment Glassy?!?

He was working with the midfield group in the SANFL side.
