The Adelaide Football Club has appointed Scott Camporeale as interim Senior Coach for the remainder of the season.

The Crows have also hired a Coaching Director with former West Coast premiership mentor John Worsfold taking on a full-time role in 2015. Camporeale, who has been at the Crows since 2011, served as Senior Assistant under Phil Walsh who sadly passed away on Friday.

The Club continues to offer counselling to its players, coaches and staff in the wake of the tragedy.

Crows Chief Executive Officer Andrew Fagan said Camporeale is a respected figure with an astute football brain.

You beauty. We have Worsefold.

Jeez. I honestly never thought that would happen. Good on him.

 

[ManInTheArena]

That is a huge thing for Worsfold to do. Shift states and up heave his life on a whim.

I totally respect him for that.

 

[pjcrows]

During a s**t time, this is really good news.

Elite

I may have hoped for Worsfold to have some involvement in the club, but thought it was more of a pipe dream. So glad he made the decision he did, though.

That is a huge thing for Worsfold to do. Shift states and up heave his life on a whim.

I totally respect him for that.

Hopefully he is willing to do the same role next year with a Nathan Bassett or Stuart Dew type or take the role on as senior coach.

We need to keep this type of resource to move forward on and off the field.

Fagan is a star

but I think huge huge huge praise needs to be given to Worsfold, to step into to this position is a huge tick from me and really a reflection of the bloke.

This is an excellent outcome from such a tragic situation as far as the club is concerned. Massive respect for Woosha to step in and help a young coaching group in a full-time capacity. Will be interesting to see how much they've absorbed from Walshy over the past 8-9 months and how much they've grown as coaches. Campo gets a chance to answer his critics.

 

[Bay62]

Best possible result from such a bad situation

What a great bloke for doing that

Roo and Fages strike again

You beauty. We have Worsfold.

i've been critical of him as result of what went down at West Coast. Coached a heap of druggies. druggies have been getting a lot of attention the last few days.

However, it is honorable what he's doing. It will have an effect on him, as it will on all coaches.

 

[Big Gazoongas]

Fagan you legend.
Great outcome under the circumstances

Woosha, like Roo, is a leader of men.

Can anyone think of two better blokes to pick us up and lead us out of this?

Brilliant by Worsfold and brilliant by the Adelaide Footy Club.

Hopefully he is willing to do the same role next year with a Nathan Bassett or Stuart Dew type or take the role on as senior coach.

He may not. If it reignites his passion maybe. I'd love a Worsfold/Dew combo but at this point I think the BigFooty coach chess game pales into insignificance when we have a man who has stepped up, and out of his comfort zone (including his place of residence of 46 years) to help us out. Total respect.

 

[CROWS84]

Hopefully this leads to worsfold taking thw reigns next year as the head coach. Great appointmEnt!

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Really, really good news. Let's do Phil proud for season 2015 and beyond!

 

[Pdub]

Having Worsfold in the coaches box against West Coast has to help.

 

[pjcrows]

Having Worsfold in the coaches box in general has to help.

EFA

 

[pjcrows]

Roo did say on MMM this morning that they'd made some big decisions.

 

[JP Sauce]

I wonder how much of this was us asking compared to Woosh offering? Either way it's awesome stuff from him, as others have said.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

John worsfold is my new hero
Amazing stuff and probably the most emotional I've been was reading that he is on board

 

[JPetro83]

Does the role of coaching director involve Woosha being at every game for the rest of the year? will he be in the box week in and week out?

 

[dylan123]

No there is not.

You sure on that Alex? I seem to recall there being discussion as we were giving Sando the flick whether we'd be able to pay him off before the 'cap' came into play for the coaches.
