News Monkhurst and Otten leaving

[xmarksthespot]

Thanks for your service Monkey/Andy. Wonder if we have replacements already arranged?

Sad to see Monkey go has been really good for us

That is pretty huge, definitely something in the works

Sad to see Monky go but I guess he was pushing the limits of his expiry date with 12 years in a specialty coaching role.

Hmm maybe there was something in that Goldy rumour and coaching thereafter

The budget for snakes has been slashed next year though

Not to disappointed in seeing a new ruck coach come in, having our rucks drop the ball at their feet and not jumping does my head in

Monkhurst has given great service. Otten coached at the club he supported as a kid.

Thank you and all the best.

Last real remnants of the Clarko era are gone now. Be interesting to see who is lined up to take their spots.

Well that is a 90% saving in the lollies budget

Newman is still there

I would have also accepted...

Going to miss the vision of Monky on the bench devouring snakes. Big part of our success.

 

[Jaeger]

Clarko taking him to North?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Why is Ottens leaving?

 

[hawkmang]

Conspiracy: Monky leaving because Shiels’ cousin Andy will no longer be around the club to feed him lollies.

 

[Hodginator]

Not too clear from the club statement if it was the decision of the club or the individuals.

Kind of sad to see the big Monkey go, an icon around the club, and a nicer person doesn't exist. I reckon he actually helped shape some of our culture and youngsters more than you might expect.

However, everyone has an expiry, important for him to strike out and ply his trade in a new environment, and likewise important for us to bring in fresh eyes and perspective; we have a rare commodity in Reeves for the first time in a long time.

 

[spudmaster]

Could Hale move into the ruck role perhaps?

I don't think Reeves will mind having a slightly less heavy-set coach to train against either! It was never a fair fight.
Thanks to both for their contributions to the HFC.

Hale? McEvoy? For ruck coach?

McEvoy our new Ruck coach? Or is Hale going to fill the gap?

Doubt McEvoy will come within 200kms of Melbourne next year

Monkey was only part time right?

 

[Kuuz]

Clarko taking him to North?

My thoughts exactly
