Rory is too dumb to coach, but they gave Thommo a crack at it, so I’m sure he’ll get an opportunity and be held on for a couple of years too long.

Burns could be holding a poisoned chalice
Tex struggles due to age and injury and it wont matter it will be on Burns

Did interview him apparently
Pretty much South Aussies coming home, or those rejected by the 10 Victorian clubs.

As always - its impossible to rate the effectiveness of Assistant Coaches unless you are on the inside.
That being said - its obvious that Rahilly was poached and we didnt want to lose him so our coaching group has gotten weaker.
Been a sneakily bad offseason for us.

If he's a good enough coach he will get more out of Fog and Thilthorpe.
That's his challenge.

This is correct
My concern though is ....having an inexperienced new coach in charge of an inexperienced backline
I would have preferred Burns, as the senior asst to be coaching that backline
Would have this freshly unemployed coach been of interest to us? Loved him as a player, NFI what he is like as a coach.

You seem to be intimating that Melbourne is a better place to live than Adelaide? Given the age profile and family status of most people in the coaching demographic, I would have thought Adelaide is a fantastically compelling alternative to Melbourne (at least for some of them).
One thing I have seen in a different industry(medical) is attracting high calibre people who have never lived here with families to SA.
No private school in SA is as good as the best private schools in Melbourne. Academically maybe. But in terms of prestige...nope.
For whatever reason, both clubs here in SA struggle to attract assistants that have never lived here and/or wanted in Victoria.

It's a valid point, to be fair. So much of the issue when it comes to Adelaide is the perception of people who have never actually lived here. We suffer badly from people making the correlation of Adelaide as an average place to visit equating to an average place to live. We're almost the polar opposite to places like Sydney in that regard (great to visit, crap place to live).

If you want a coach that constantly blamed the players for everything, implemented a rubbish gameplan and came last in the AFLW then sure

I don’t think Burns has done a great job with the defence, as the Snr Asst he should be looking after the mids
At least our new defence coach played in defence and should be able to transfer his playing experience to the players

Such Victorian w@nk. There are good schools here. There are great schools here. There are prestigious schools here.
Victorian are so thoroughly convinced by their own superiority they have little knowledge of the outside world. They are the Australian version of America.

Maybe you should rephrase that.
Well he did become a better husband, father and senior assistant.
Not great with the ladies.Maybe you should rephrase that.
