What would you think if Eade left?

[GreekLunatic]

eade is staying he doesnt want to coach

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

I think we'd be fine. Not 100 percent on what he actually does anyway.

 

[carndapies]

Good by the strategy implemented during game days I cant actually see him doing anything other then some media stuff so buckley can try and concentrate more on the football side of things

 

[Robroy22]

eade is staying he doesnt want to coach

And he knows when he's on a good wicket. He's getting well paid for very little stress.

 

[MarkT2]

Why would Eade leave? No one else will over pay him like we will.
I can't see him being part of the solution to our internal issues. He certainly didn't have a great rapport with players at his last 2 clubs. I'd be happy enough for him to walk but he won't.

 

[MyManLynch]

That he has been unable to convert to premierships as a coach or in whatever role he is at with Collingwood. That's why I suggested a fresh face may be more suitable.

He did coach the Brisbane Bears reserves to a Premiership.

Then he's untouchable

 

[domin8tors]

I'm not sure why all the hate for Eade, he was known as one of the best tactical coaches during his time in coaching and although he never got the flag " and let's be honest not many do " he always coached extremely competitive teams.

 

[partypie]

Moot discussion now anyway - he's staying...

 

[morgoth]

eade is staying he doesnt want to coach

That is what he has told the club but he is still in the running. GC have not even got the interview panel together yet but have been in contact and he is interested.

 

[Damon_3388]

Care factor zero on Eade leaving.

This.

I don't even really understand what he does TBH.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Pretty funny that no one knows what he does - I thought I'd log onto the Collingwood site and pull his profile to get a better understanding myself and it appears the club don't know what he does either - Nothing on him at all

 

[Woods List Clogger]

Seems to be a lot of talk about Eade maybe moving back into senior coaching with the GC and I imagine that he may be linked with the WB also. I haven't seen too much talk about that on here but for one I'd hate to see him leave his position at Collingwood.

What are peoples thought's if Eade was to leave?

Trav would get his preferred parking spot.Do it!

[Gambit78]

One of the most competitive beasts you've ever seen mate, the Williams family were never losers and Mark was the epitome of a Port boy and a Collingwood captain. He got shopped around a bit between clubs for $$$ but one could never label him a loser.

Yep, sorry, I didn't mean to be disparaging about Williams, the player. I do remember how tenacious he was in his career. It was more a reference to his 'success' in attaining the ultimate prize - a premiership - as a player. The term 'loser' was in reference to this lack of success, not his playing ability.

 

[Lefthanded]

Can't see Eade going anywhere just yet, Carlton already have him locked in to a succession plan for Mick Malthouse as soon as he wants out from CFC.

 

[didaksrightfoot]

I don't know what he does to be honest

Yep.

We all have our opinions of him based on his time as a coach - which was never outstanding.

But it's hard to know what to say about him leaving if we don't actually know what he does here. If we were gonna have someone in that sort of role, I would much rather a guy with a history of winning

He is not a coach anymore.
He is listed under staff as Football Director. Head of the Football department.
Has 12 staff listed under him.

Still doesn't say what his role and responsibilities are though.

Just a general consensus in here that no one knows what he does - sure, he's got a cool title

After Walsh left his job was split between Eade and Hine, with Hine doing contracts and Eade doing football admin thats why he's not on the coaching staff anymore

 

[Magpie Mason]

not sure, where does he play?

 

[Magpie Mason]

Wasn't Choco Williams a perennial loser until he started coaching?

Maybe we should get Choco! former captain, premiership coach.

 

[General Soreness]

As Director of Football he probably has the task of overseeing and co-ordinating all the behind the scenes operations for the team and the coaches in preparation for game-day. He might also have some say in how these subordinate positions function, the directions they take, and how they mesh with each other: I'm guessing he's the designer and architect of off-field operations. As such, I guess he'd be the man who knows what's going on in all these departments and could be the representative for all these subordinate positions at higher-level departmental meetings (esp. those involving the high performance, list management, and coaching departments, as well as the general administration staff under Pert) as well as overseeing operations between various football departments. Check out the positions that are, at least visually, under him:

Football Operations Manager

Executive Assistant

Psychology and Wellbeing Manager

Opposition Analyst

Football Analysis Manager

Senior Football Analyst

Football Analyst

Dietitian

Player Development Manager

VFL General Manager

Property Manager

VFL Property Coordinator

I'm utterly convinced he would have been a markedly superior match day tactician than Buckley if given the chance over the last few years. A good coach gets the most out of the players at his disposal. I'm tipping he would be actively on the phone making moves when the momentum was against us rather than staring blankly like a disgruntled fan.

 

[rand corp]

No More 'IN THE MIX' devastated!
And I really relied on Rodney's injury updates for those accurate assessments of when the players would be back in the side.
