Surprised we are advertising for a strength coach. Thought that would be a position Burgo would headhunt. Be interested to see who we attract.

We probably have to advertise it, but likely already have a replacement in mind.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Chad one of the reasons we lost Shaun Burgoyne? And if we had Burgoyne instead of Hawks last year would we have another premiership?

If he was one of the reasons, it doesn't follow that we would still have had Shaun if we'd taken sides. Leave it at that. Apart from the personal side of it, with the state of our fitness regime 2009-2012 Burgoyne at Port may not have lasted all the way through the dark age.

Not sure what any of that has to do with employing Chad professionally. If it wasn't for Voss we might have had another flag somewhere in '01-'03. If it wasn't for Ken's planning '07 might not have been such a bath for us. If it wasn't for Chad we might not have won in '04. We don't owe any of these guys special employment consideration for their past associations.

Chad appears to have a history of being a bigmouth and a big ego. When we consider employing him professionally we need to either see if he's matured or just choose to work with it, deciding the risk is worth it for the expertise he has acquired.
 
I assume Hocking takes back the forwards role he had.

Bassett replacing Carr? Or Nicks to the midfield role and Bassett takes over the backlines.
I'd prefer Basset to backlines, Buddha to midfield and Nicks to forwards would be my preference.

TYSON EDWARDS will not coach at Port Adelaide in 2016 after the Power advised him that his contract would not be renewed for a fifth season.

I expect this is the bit where we wait a polite amount of time before announcing we have done an extensive search and identified Nathan Bassett as a new member of the coaching team, with a shuffle also including Hocking.

Assuming Voss is staying and he's good. I
My wishlist would be Basset defensive Nicks and Voss Midfield Stevie J forward coach. Hocking bench mentor and instruction provider
 
Putting Troy Chaplin and Chad Cornes in the same basket is ludacris.

Well I'm glad there's now an English word for how stupid it would be.
