Scott Camporeale named Crows Interim coach

[DaVillaBlues]

With John Worsfold as coaching director.
Best of luck to Campo, got a very tough job ahead, not just for next week, but for the season, the Phil Walsh tragedy is going to tale a long time for the players to get over.

Like the Woosha appointment as coaching director as well, good man to have at such a time.

 

[marty36]

Good appointment we needed someone internally with what has happened to understand what the players are going through and with Woosha overseing thats fantastic. Hopefully he stays on to actually coach the club next year! Best of a bad situation!

 

[Tex Support]

Hopefully Woosha gets a real good look at our club over the next few months and wants to stay long term...

And then we get Nathan Bassett on the phone...

Bass/Woosh 2016 pls

 

[SunshineBoy]

good luck crows fans our hearts are with you

 

[Brasher]

John Worsfold could be a total failure in the role from this point on but this gesture alone makes him a winner forever in my book.

 

[Vikingblood]

Great to have Woosha on board. He must be feeling the loss as much as anyone and for him to accept the offer speaks volumes of his character.
Hopefully between the assistants and Woosha, we can have a second half of the season that Walshy would be proud of. There's nothing less he would have liked to see than if we were to curl up and concede.

 

[DangerSloane]

Had a feeling Woosha would see the time of need and help fill in for his old pal.
Very glad he's there...the young assistants are going to need an old head over this tough time.

Good luck Campo.

Exactly. Even if he doesn't go on to coach in 2016, the gesture means everything.

Cheers Woosha. I've finally forgiven you for what you did to Modra.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Best of luck to Campo and the Crows.

Still unsure how Adelaide come back from this, Dangerfield should definitely leave now.

 

[Brasher]

Exactly. Even if he doesn't go on to coach in 2016, the gesture means everything.

Cheers Woosha. I've finally forgiven you for what you did to Modra.

If Woosha could turn water into wine I might start forgiving that one.

 

[Blackas87]

All the best to Adelaide for the rest of the year.

 

[Big Bryza]

Good luck to the crows. Top effort from Woosha to put his hand up and help out.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Good onya Woosh!

 

[getgaff]

Best of luck to Campo, tough job ahead not only being an interim coach but the circumstances behind it make it enormously tough.

Great to see John Worsfold willing to help him out behind the scenes but. Best of luck Crows players and coaching staff, wouldn't begrudge you winning against my boys this weekend

 

[JackOutback]

Great move by Whoosh. He would be feeling the loss of a close friend, so to take up the role on a day's notice is huge.

It makes next week's game even more special, with Worsfold there alongside the Crows and Eagles.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I would like to thank Woosha for what he's doing! Truly amazing. Giving up time in Perth to come and help the AFC

 

[pazza]

Good luck to Campo and Woosha. This next few months for all at the club will be trying for everyone concerned and to have an inexperienced coach with a wise old head next to him is probably the best way to go.

 

[RookiePick]

Best of luck to Scott in his new role.

Crows will be on a rollercoaster for some time. Woosh could be a great leveller for the group.

 

[pazza]

That leads me into the next question.

What of the players? Is the game against West Coast too soon?

 

[Troubadour]

Great news for Adelaide to have Worsfold onboard even temporarily.

Hopefully it helps the organisation through a tough time, provides guidance when its most needed and sets them up to finish 2015 strongly and attack 2016

 

[Vikingblood]

That leads me into the next question.

What of the players? Is the game against West Coast too soon?

Only the players can tell that. I imagine we won't know one way or the other until about Wednesday.
No amount of resolve can cover up the individual need to deal with things the way your mind tells you to. Wouldn't surprise if some players opted not to play and I would completely respect that decision.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Dangerfield will look like a massive campaigner if he wallks out on his mates after this. If anything this may make him more likely to stay.

Dangerfield should not even be mentioned in this thread. His decision should not be influenced by what has happened and there should be no more, or less pressure on him to stay. If anything, it shows the value of family and if Dangerfield wants to be closer to his in Moggs Creek, then I can't blame him.

Back on topic, I think every Adelaide fan around the country will appreciate what Worsfold is doing for the rest of the year. And I think the responsibility will be a shared one between Teague, Milburn, Camporeale and O'Keefe- nobody could step in and fulfil the role single-handedly which makes Worsfold the perfect head to oversee from the top. Well done to Fagan and the team.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Just out of interest - who are the other assistant coaches over there - is Millburn still in that role or did he leave when Sanderson went

For sure it does. I think you can lock it in he will stay.

Maybe the only way he could leave now with honour is if he is like, going through depression over being a crow. An no thats not a jab at Mitch Clark. I believe in depression and it's seriousness. I'm saying, legitimately, if Dangerfield is in depression later in the season because of feeling forced to the Crows, it should be respected for him to leave. Because such a state would hurt his footy anyway.

David Teague, Darren Milburn, Matthew Clarke with O'Keefe in a developmental role.
