We were never gonna have a former grand finalist senior coach in our assistant ranks for long. Is what it is. One moves on, next guy steps up.

Wonder if Leon Cameron will step up to fill the void. I assume he is still an employee of ours.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

I thought we'd get another year. Damn. Wish him all the best.

He'd better not try to poach the WA boys

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Hopefully Harley and Gardner have been planning for this so we're not one coach short going into the 2024 preseason.

 

[Ticky009]

Right then. Who is the next man or woman up?

to replace his brother who will move to Perth

 

[Kiama Chris]

Mark McVeigh to replace his brother who will move to Perth

Actually, wouldn't mind that, but who replaces Pyke?

 

[bedford]

A young coach who has been in 1 or 2 other systems

 

[Voice of the G]

A young coach who has been in 1 or 2 other systems

Agree but would they look at Stuart Dew.

 

[caesar88]

Make it happen Sydney!

 

[Kiama Chris]

Back to the future!

 

[bedford]

Agree but would they look at Stuart Dew.

Yes , and he's been at another club again , with assistants all with different ideas , it's a no brainer

 

[anotherletdown]

Agree but would they look at Stuart Dew.

Think he's gone to Geelong

 

[anotherletdown]

Does Tadgh want to come back?

 

[Wolftone]

If Pyke goes to the Eagles, we may as well show J McVeigh the door as well. He has been a wonderful servant of the club but if he really wants to be a senior coach he has to spend time at other clubs.
We are now something of a destination club as we are entering a premiership window. We are well run, generally successful and stable. There Is a lot to learn for a keen assistant, but who?

Mods I couldn’t find an assistant coach thread.

McVeigh was forwards coach and the set ups were basically the same as ever. All talls flying against each other for contested marks. There was a slight difference in leading patterns but there was still too much long bomb and we set up for it.

We need someone who is going to enforce seperation of the tall forwards. One stays in the square, one leads right, one up the centre or maybe one left if the ball is coming more central. If all your forwards are flying for the same ball the chances anyone will come down with it or be able to direct it down are negligible.

We had a great midfield tactics coach we went to SA to coach Glenelg to a premiership. Mark Stone. Unfortunately, he is at the Lions. I wonder what it would take to get him back. By the way, I think he would make a super AFL coach

I wish. As soon as he was let go the reserves went down

Mark has left the Lions , nowhere yet

 

[Wolftone]

Does Tadgh want to come back?

No. He is head coach of the Giants Academy, appointed last year. After the way he was treated I doubt he wants to come back.

Mark has left the Lions , not sure where he's gone

Ok. I just read the article. I hope we get him back. He is a great tactics coach.

Rumours the Bulldogs are looking at him for an assistant role.

 

[robbieando]

I have heard from a well placed source that we have approached James Hird to replace Pyke. Jokes

 

[robbieando]

Further to the above post he was highly recommended by Leon Cameron

Big loss

Very much down on talent in the box imo compared to others

We need an experience head asap

I have heard from a well placed source that we have approached James Hird to replace Pyke. I'm joking and anyone taking this seriously has fallen for the biggest fish on my hook

I'm shocked to be sitting here to be honest.
