VFL Paul Hudson - Sandringham senior coach 2015/2016

[Barrels]

Congrats to Huddo, his VFL breakdowns of the Saints players have been great reading this season.

Peta Searle and Lindsay Gilbee will continue to assist at Sandy, and Simon McPhee will become the full-time Academy chief.

St Kilda development coach Paul Hudson has been appointed the senior coach of the Saints’ VFL affiliate Sandringham for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.

Hudson will combine his role as Zebras coach with his duties at St Kilda, taking over from Simon McPhee who will transfer to the stand alone role as Saints Player Academy Manager.

seems like the restructure continues!..

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

Good to see so many changes after such a shite season.
To move forward we gotta keep moving.

Loved to have seen Aussie Jones in a role?

And McCartney

Yeah, I was thinking about Aussie for the role. He had an amazing track record since entering coaching, until the whole Gold fiasco - although it's hard to know how much that had to do with him, and how much it had to do with Bendigo just being messed up to begin with.

Sorry im a bit naive Pers.
But i only really knew of Aussie at Bendigo. Who else was he coaching before that mate.

Pretty sure that Aussie is taking a year off from top level stuff and doing a bit a country level footy with friends near narre warren. Maybe in 2016

McPhee was always meant to be shifting role this year. Guess the stand-alone plan getting pushed back means it is not quite as first planned but things had to progress in the meantime. Reckon this will be a 1yr deal but it'll get extended into the following season before the split finally happens.

Coached Narre Warren to 5 grand finals and 3 premierships I think.. That was straight out of afl or close to it so a decade ago

potenially setting himself up to coach the standalone saints vfl team

Aussie coached Gippsland Power before DC after he coached Narre to 3 flags.

Bendigo were a development league team, playing seniors..... He did a great job there

Do you think he could coach the zebs or our standalone? I love the idea of it, but I am nervous.

 

[ike2112]

I think that it's highly likely the Saints standalone will be coached by the development team; so, if they're still around, it would likely be McPhee and Hudson. A large part of what they do is the development of the bottom half of the list, and a large part of that is the work with the reserves side whatever form that takes.

Sandy will be the ones who need a new coach in a couple years. Would think that a good current AFL asst coach looking to boost their CV would be most likely.
But I wonder what the odds are on Peta?...

i love this appointment. also love the move of mcphee to academy manager. just makes so much sense for all involved

Couldn't find sandy thread but worth noting TDL has signed on with Sandy for 2015 as player and development coach

Interesting. Young guy to be taking on a coaching role so quickly, even if it's just a developmental role. One to watch perhaps.

Jimmy Munro has left Zebs and signed with Casey

its happening more and more. even blokes at 26/27 (ex AFL) are now retiring early in the state leagues to take up coaching full time

Does this have to do with us in the next x amount of years going standalone or just $

I think he has or is completing a sports science degree too.

Nah nothing to do with the club or anything. Justin Plapp is Casey's new coach and he had a lot to do with Jimmy getting into footy, gave him a chance when no one else would. He is also training at Melbourne in leadup to drafts.

Good luck to Jimmy.

Loved his endeavour, didn't love his temper so much.

I reckon his skills are a little below AFL standard, but could definitely make something of himself, and the Dees could do with the steel...
