Just let Tex run it. Then once he retires he can be the full time forwards coach.
This sounds silly, but is probably better than most of the options.
Given how there has been no noise around this at all, one suspects that anyone we have tried has turned us down. Hence we are left to look around at what's left.
Godden? Please no.
Wright? Based on what exactly?
It's clear that Rahilly is an excellent coach. Losing him will be massive, especially as we enter a probable push into finals. We can't afford to have below average coach in that spot.

I know I brought it up already but if we are looking at internal surely it’s Chelsea Randall.
You’d have to think she wouldn’t be far off retiring.
She’s a leader and sounds like she has football brain.
Already working in a coaching capacity.
The only obstacle would be she’s played AFLW not AFL, but who cares.

I'd be happier with this than Godden or Wright.
I don't think Wright could do it. One of the issues with Godden last time was his lack of recent AFL game experience.
I know Wright has been employed at the club but hasn't been watching and studying AFL games and strategies for years.
In my opinion you need to do 12 months purely focussed on AFL before being a Senior line coach.

Sounds like she'd be a lot more involved than another dev coach like Matty Wright since she doesn't have playing duties crossing over with her coaching duties.
Surely development coach of the year, as voted by people 'in the know', is an absolute shoe in.

Sounds like a prime development before moving someone in as an assistant coach.

McVeigh will also step up as a new assistant coach for the Swans’ men’s team, working alongside John Longmire as well as his brother Jarrad, Dean Cox and Ben Matthews.
Another former Sydney assistant coach, and former Suns coach, Stuart Dew was reportedly sounded out about returning to the club.
He visited Sydney’s facilities last week, but despite being interested in the opportunity it appears he will remain on the Gold Coast.

McPherson added as a development coach
Scott Burns – Forwards and Senior Assistant Coach
Nathan van Berlo – Midfield Coach
Jack Hombsch – Backs Coach
Michael Godden – SANFL and Coach Development
Marco Bello – Head of Development
Matthew Wright – Development Coach
Chelsea Randall – Development Coach
Andrew McPherson – Development Coach

Couldn’t even get Hurn over lol
More disappointing than the trade period IMO. At least Port couldn’t get anyone either I guess
That said, I hope Hombsch goes well

Hot take: backing the “organic growth” of our coaching staff is far worse than the “organic growth” of our young squad

The disappointing thing for me is the lack of coaching experience outside our environment
Hombsch, Godden, Wright, Randall and McPherson have no AFL coaching experience outside the Crows. Van Berlo had three years at West Coast, otherwise all at the Crows
Of the six coaches with limited coaching experience outside our system, four of them also played almost entirely for the Crows. At least Randall has actually been part of a successful system
Nicks, Burns and Bello are the only three coaches with significant experience outside the Crows

I am shocked , shocked we had the best person already at the club
Imagine that - how do we run so good
Nah good luck Jack and lets not kick some goals

A bit concerning the area we need most work has a rookie coach
Not all that surprisedAs expected we have promoted from within. Jack Hombsch up to defense coach, Burns to take the forwards
McPherson added as a development coach

This was floated on Triple M the other day
They confirmed Burns would be the forwards coach and dropped a few other names as potentially taking the backs, including Hombsch.
Wow, Andy McPherson has given footy away and gone straight into coaching.As expected we have promoted from within. Jack Hombsch up to defense coach, Burns to take the forwards

It would be nice to see our ex-players get some outside experience first before coming back to the club as a coach
