Official Club Stuff Coaches box changes + SANFL Coach

[Ford Fairlane]

According to cRowie Buddha Hocking will be announced tomorrow as Port's reserves team coach.

Does this open a spot in the coach's box for a new assistant? Mooney, Tredders or Lade as forward line coach?

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Enter Tredrea


Plsssss?

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

Please edit OP to say Stupid and not cRowie. Thanks.

Also, I may have missed the news here, but what happened to McGregor?

 

[Us against the rest]

Love to see Lade come back, he could help Lobbe and Redden at the same time. Lade has a great footy brain and knows what is required at Port. Great club man.

 

[Doctor Feel]

If this is the case, makes letting Rehn go look interesting.

Yes good point you make.

 

[Concussion]

Part of the exciting news Casual Keith was hinting at?

 

[BIG DADDY]

Great appointment
Can't wait to see what Budah can do with the Maggies

When he took over from Primus, we played a more attacking brand of footy and played with a refreshing freedom. Budah will make an excellent coach for the Magpies and will one day be an AFL coach.

Lade back at Port would make me so unbelievably happy.

 

[blackdiamond]

Lade back sounds very casual Keithy

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Ruck. Forward. Two birds. One stone.

 

[70sDinosaur]

I think it would be good to get Lade.

 

[finbarr]

Did I miss something? Is there a reason people are assuming Lade may be coming back? Has he quit Richmond?

My fault, I mentioned him. No reason.

 

[PJ Power]

Don't think so, although casual Keith intimated that there would be some big announcements over the coming days

 

[cmpower]

Given he has experience at coaching SANFL, I thought Rehn would've been the perfect candidate

 

[PJ Power]

Maybe there is another experienced and credentialled assistant we have in mind to join us.
Lade would be an obvious candidate.

 

[PJ Power]

Has anyone asked Hinkley the simple question of who will be responsible for coaching our rucks?

 

[simba_]

I didn't realise this was happening for the 2014 season and our license is being handed to the AFL the year after - it is incredible how quickly we have achieved this turnaround.

Buddha will still be allowed in the box come AFL match day, yes? I think it's time for Lade to come back but his family wanted to go to Vic didn't they, hopefully he wants to push a move back here and sees us going places, more so than Richmond.

 

[ExpectToWin]

Just on the whole Reserves situation, does anyone know how training is going to work.

Given that the Port Adelaide SANFL team is a mix of AFL and Magpie listed players, who trains with who?

 

[Zakk Wylde]

KT should go in the box just for the casual factor. What a chilled atmosphere it would be.

I'd expect they'd all train together otherwise it defeats the purpose.

Would being a ruck coach be the hardest job at a club. You have to try to justify to the club how you can be employed full time to tell three or four big fellas to get big muscles and hit the ball to you team mate.
I may have simplified it a bit but surely it's hard to sell the message over the course of a couple of seasons.

 

[Power Pete]

Awesome news about Buddha... he'll be great with the young boys at the Magpies.

I heard this name being bandied around as a ruck coach... James Meiklejohn.
