Noble replaces Bailey in box

[Mattrox]

I would give Neeld a go! he was highly respected at Collingwood. Even though he did terrible at Melbourne he deserves another chance

Terrible idea.

Like this thread! We need a fresh perspective. I think Voss would be a great pickup - legend of the game and took on coaching before he was ready! Bet he knows "a lot" more now. Hirdy might be looking for a job soon??

Hirdy would be ok if he didn't come with needles.

Would have thought it a bit too late for change this season. Surely if we suffer another year of match day stagnation, then change will be forced upon the footy dept from above. My concern is who is it that will be able to recognise the need in the first place and then implement the process. Imagine being sando and sitting on the other side of the desk to triggy, while being told that that there's an issue with competence in the coaching dept. I suppose triggy could use his sanfl coaching record as evidence of his credibility in that area.

Our club is presently mired in mediocrity. It's a culture that is engrained at the very top. We can't be ruthless in a football sense, be it at selection of players or contracting coaches, if we can't be ruthless at board or senior management level. And sadly, that ship has sailed and will continue to, at least as far as the eye can see.

Someone from left field - what about Brenton Phillips?

Has had sone success with the under 18.

What exactly is Blight's position at GCS? He's like McKenna's right hand man isn't he? He's doing exactly what we want someone competent to do for Sando. One things for sure he's chilled out a lot with age. There would be no danger of a ego clash. But that football brain is still the best in the business on game day.

Throw everything at him. As well as landing him and making us infintely more dimensional it would simultaneously weaken Gold Coast just when they're about to launch their flag charge which is going to coincide with ours in a couple years.

You just know the footy gods have a deep love for shit like this. Malcolm Blight coming home, AO, bronze statues...we would totally flag up

 

[Wood_Duck]

What are we looking for here, an assistant or a director of coaching?

 

[mattymac]

Someone to remind Sando when something needs to be done

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Dean Bailey was strategy and innovation.

 

[FR0GGY]

His wife?

 

[mattymac]

I see Nathan van Illa is on our coaching panel now. Not sure anyone down the club has a clue about anything any more.

We're looking for a good assistant coach, the more knowledge and experience the better. The rest is just a label.

 

[Crowked]

Word is Hird will be back and Bomber Thompson will move on.

He'd be great for us in that role.

 

[Wood_Duck]

Bomber is quite good friends with Sando. It would take a miracle to move bomber from Melbourne though.

 

[Crowked]

I agree but the question needs to be asked. He'd be #1 on my list.

 

[jackster83]

Forward line coach please.

Maybe a kicking coach too. None of our coaches were anything special by foot when they played and our footskills have been sub par since 2006.

I wouldn't be betting on Hird being Essendon coach next year (Goody may be an outside chance).

Back to the topic, we do need to find another senior coach from outside AFC to replace Bailey - preferably someone who has been a senior coach previously.

Can't agree with your standard mediocrity statements Matty in respect of this position.

The club knew what it was doing when it appointed Dean Bailey, didn't it? 2012 totally supports that IMO.

Also,when Bailey was unfairly assassinated in 2013 by the AFL and was missing for the major part of the season, we fell in a hole. Once he returned, we looked a whole lot better for his presence and advice.

The timing of Bailey's illness and death during the pre-season has had a major impact on the club's ability to do anything about it this year. All the right people had been snaffled up at the end of the last footy season, and rightly the club hasn't gone out and appointed a B grader in the role for the sake of having a body in it.

The club will be looking at all options both now and during the season, and unlike you, I am confident that they will come up with a good candidate for the role at the end of this season.

PS Neither Trigg or Harper will be responsible for the selection of the successful candidate.

There is no word

No one knows

Why wouldn't Harper be involved?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Why wouldn't Harper be involved?

... in anything

 

[DJ75]

I will be staggered if we even consider someone from outside our little circle jerk.
Why would we go external and spend all that energy looking for someone good when - hey there's Tate. Let's give him the job!

We need to put a massive broom through the organisation starting from the top.

I want a CEO and President that don't give a sh!t about who they upset. I want leaders in the club that are willing to doing anything to achieve success.
Right now we have lots of good guys who don't want to upset the apple cart. We need to develop a set of balls off field and then hopefully we can also get one on field.

I'm sick of our good goody act.

 

[Wood_Duck]

Please don't provoke me.

 

[Bicks]

Maybe a kicking coach too. None of our coaches were anything special by foot when they played and our footskills have been sub par since 2006.

Hard to teach old dogs new tricks especially when their kicking techniques or lack thereof have become second nature to them.

A better solution surely is to put high quality kicking skills very high on the list of essential attributes required when drafting players to our club.

I reckon if it's anyone, it'll be someone who comes from that Geelong background that Sando and Dasher were raised in. Seems to be the blueprint they're basing a lot of their work on.

Which then makes you say Bomber Thompson would be perfect for the role.

 

[1970crow]

I'd like to snare someone right out from under another clubs nose. I'd love the footy world to be saying, "those bastards from Adelaide. They've done this, they've done that". Imagine the pleasure of being universally despised.
