Of course but within the same club is an added complexity.
I agree
my read of the club is that they believe that Walsh has already passed on his IP / Blueprint which the club is confident will give hem every opportunity for success
the next head coach will be someone that strongly aligns with that Blueprint and who can take it forward
I don't think so, we can name plenty Assistants who moved clubs to take up the Senior role and failed, Neeld and the recently sacked WB coach (who's name escapes me) comes quickly to mind
Lets not judge Campo on anything that we imagine he has done - or is like - or will do.
Let's give him every chance to be the coach we need and want.
I'll judge Campo the same way I judged Walsh.

Phil's vision and Phil's game plan are two different things.
His vision was of the most streamlined professional elite football organisation in the country, that was primarily about development and promotion of players, coaches and administration from within. Phil's game plan and innovations were a part of that, but not exclusive to it.
The vision can continue. It's about selecting the right coach to lead it.
I think Worsfold will also be invaluable in list management. He will know who is going to cut it and who isn't. Jason Reid also knows intimately what Phil's on-field vision looked like for 2017. It will be interesting to see how it all ties in.

Yeah, the game plan is dynamic and that's what makes you tactical (subtle changes each week). I hope he rubbed off on those guys, sounds like he has. There is a risk now though that the coach we appoint can't step up to the Walsh plate. Introspectively players know what he has taught them. Hopefully the coaches and players don't clash over any of the game plan or vision.
We will be okay. This will galvanise the group.

There's a database for the last 9 months. Every meeting was filmed and can be called up on a players tablet at any time. I'm sure they will be reference appropriately.
That was the point I was trying to make, Worsfold is a great coach but he needs a strategy coach to devise a game plan. Worsfold keeps on saying he doesn't want to head coach anymore so I guess it is all irrelevant anyway.

I don't entirely disagree a game plan needs to keep evolving
All I am saying is that there has been some real strong messaging from the club that indicates a desire to keep going down Phil's path which is both vision and game plan fundamentals
With that said if Campo can 1. take us to the finals, and by doing so 2. Build on the " elite standards / team first" mantra I think this would be enough to win him the job over any current untried Asst Coach.
But what I will say is that I just listen to.Woosha's presser and I don't think that he completely shut the door on coaching

Listen to his presser he did not completely shut the door
On many occasions he said " not at this point in time"
He left the door slightly ajar in my opinion
I'll go out on a limb here
I think Campo will surprise a few

I haven't heard the presser yet. Let's hope once he is back into a footy club environment he gets the urge to stay on, even if it's only as a coaching director to keep Phils vision and standards on track.
I really hope so.
He doesn't have the Walsh 'gravitas'…not many do. Maybe I'm greedy but I want that figurehead at the helm.
What I'm hoping he has is a tactical brain, though is this confined to midfield stoppages/structures? I cannot remember who but his tactical nous has been applauded since his appt as one of his strengths. Does this extend to our team defence?
Just had a look and got same impression.
Quite fair enough too, would be inappropriate for him to comment in his intentions after this year. Would not be fair on Campo in particular, they need to be working together and not in a context of being contenders for next year.
Really, all anyone wants to hear right now is that people have the ship under control, next year is for another time - handled it well IMO
That was my out take as well. If there is a bloody good reason presented to him he might just come back. I also think he has some personal plans and its those plans that might hold him back. He might even be trying to do what Walshy was .....getting a balance correct between footy and family.
Campo performed well in his presser. If Campo possesses a tactical brain that's a bloody good start. However he doesn't have the same life skills that Walshy did. When Walshy talked even if it was about paintings or F1 cars people listened because they new Walshy knew what he was talking about. Walshy commanded respect by simply being there. Even the boys on AFL 360 showed a level of respect towards him when he called them ratbags. You could see them listening to him.
It wasn't long ago when many on here were calling for Campo's head so it will be interesting to see how the team performs under him but that judgement cant be made after this weekends effort.
