News Assistant Coaches Speculation and News - Xavier Clarke joins

[Bobby Sands]

I think he has a reputation of being super competent although also pretty divisive / destabilising.

If thats true exactly what we don't need. Just had a year of being destabilised and divisive.

Unsure about Monty, seems to have left a couple of clubs on bad terms. Massive yes to X. Clarke. Then a really cluey stoppage coach and we're pretty well set.

 

[Wrenny]

Stig stated that we should finalise our coaching within a few days.

Hopefully hear something today

[RichoLedio]

On paper that's a good looking coaching list

With McQualter stepping up into Midfield stoppages coach

"current NT Thunder senior coach and former St Kilda and Brisbane Lions utility, Xavier Clarke joining the ranks as a development coach."

Thoughts?

 

[tugga]

Massive coup. Five clubs were after him. Very, very highly regarded in developing young players, which, let's face it, hasn't been our forte since the dawn of time.

 

[Calcium Man]

I'm pretty happy with the coaching panel. Certainly lacks Dimma's mates. Hopefully McQualter can step up.

 

[Lsta062]

Don't know much about him as a coach but it sounds like it is a good acquisition. Was highly rated from what I read.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

WOW Weee...

 

[TheAnt]

Not too upset about McQualter. Clearly highly rated internally.

 

[Calcium Man]

Beat Collingwood out again makes this a better signing.

Has a massive wrap so I'm hopeful, be good working with our indigenous boys especially Yarran I hope.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Seems a pretty big step up though...
Not sure.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Very savvy singing.

Shrewd work Richmond, genuinely impressed.

 

[JackNah_8]

Good news, we have an impressive coaching panel now.

This is an interesting article.

In February he said if an assistant coach approached him for a development role he would turn it down.

But if a senior coach approached him to be a development coach he would listen.

Does that seem odd?

 

[bananatigz]

Very happy with X

Also happy we didn't end up going after Monty, sounds a bit divisive which is the last thing we need right now

 

[CoggaRules]

So Ivvy will be ruck coach IMO...seeing as we dont have one

 

[Punt rd end]

Rejected Colonwood obviously

Is that not what the mid stoppages coach would nominally look after? Agree tho it will prob be Ivvy supporting McQualter in that role

 

[CoggaRules]

He was coaching Bling last year...lmaooo

i think a ruck coach is responsible for ruck coaching
