Did Stone's time at Sydney overlap with Nicks.Seems strange that the AFC didn't talk to Mark Stone.
Were the AFC ever that serious in hiring a senior assistant?
Surely Stone would have been in the mix of available candidates and at least worth an interview.
Hes just won a premiership at Glenelg and has stoppage/line coaching experience with Sydney and Freo .
LMAO. Whinge away lovey, it’s what you do best.You’d think after defending the club for this long and being wrong every single time that you would have learned to pull your head in by now.
A senior assistant is about injecting some experience. Entirely appropriate given how green the coaching group is. On paper it looks bog average. A far cry from the best in the land we were promised.
Nicks was back in Adelaide at the end of 2005 as an Investment Advisor and Stone didn't start in Sydney until 2007.Did Stone's time at Sydney overlap with Nicks.
Maybe Nick's doesn't like him?

Hopefully this is the pivot point. Clearly there has been no forward planning, but with those responsible now at Centrelink, it will take a while for the new blood to get in and make their mark. Time will tell I guess.Nicks will be Sando minus Bailey. We couldn't find a decent senior assistant. We can't find a footy ops manager with a track record of success.
We have a rookie coach and a SANFL bargain basement of assistants plus Ben no one wants Hart.
Far cry from the best football program in the land we were promised.
We just have to accept we're a bit s**t with no plan and low prospects for improvement. Currently nestled in amongst the St Kildas and Norths of the world. Last relevant last century.
Seems odd we didn't even contact him for a role.Nicks was back in Adelaide at the end of 2005 as an Investment Advisor and Stone didn't start in Sydney until 2007.
I would have thought the role is more support, mentoring, sounding board for the coaches rather than another communicator to the players.I’ve worked in organisations where assistant managers and managers give conflicting messages and the communication breakdown absolutely destroys the place.
What does having an assistant offer and is it really worth having one? Or is it just another voice/opinion for the rest of the coaching team to listen to?
They better get one for 2021 but I have my doubts.
So basically it’s Pyke and Campo out, Nicks in.
Nicks must be a bloody good first time coach!
This is what we meant by sham review. They didn't want the review. They held it far too late. And they were shocked that it found what we all knew and actually had to go looking for replacements when there was nothing left on the shelf.
Typical Chapman Crows.
Even down to the spin.
Correct.
And look how crap Dimma was for so long.
Given we've plucked 2 coaches from the SANFL they might not want to go that route again? I know he has AFL experience, but his areas of experience as an assistant (stoppages) are what Nicks had been running with as part of his work as a senior assistant at Port and GWS, so they might see it as a duplication of roles/knowledge?Seems odd we didn't even contact him for a role.
He would be cheap and we have missed the boat in terms of luring any decent assistant coach currently in the AFL system.
I still believe that most decent AFL assistants won't move to Adelaide (affecting both us and Port) due to geography. Why work in Adelaide when you can have the same job in the epicentre of the industry. Not to mention lifestyle, partner and kids (education) etc.
The explosion in coaching group size across the industry has a knock on effect to clubs in the least desirable locations ie us.
South Austrlalia is the last place a Football profesional wants to live unless they have had a previous positive experience living here. Or it is the only chance to stay in the industry, ie Vossy.

You want us to be crap for another 5 years?Is that a bad thing? He obviously developed into a damn good coach without interference from others.

Same as how we hired Godden, but then just made him run what Campo wanted anyway.
Darryl hart was 1997. Craigy was the fitness coach. Think that was it.Who was Blights assistants? I don’t recall seeing many people in the coaches box when they showed Blight on screen during a game.

That is right. We hired Godden then moved Campo into this Senior Assistant Role. When Sando was coach he had Bickley in his first year as his right hand man and he was the forward coach. Then Campo who was the midfield coach. Godden is experienced and a premiership coach. He can be the senior assistant/Midfield coach.Given we've plucked 2 coaches from the SANFL they might not want to go that route again?

Not unsurprising, and hopefully, we're able to use this carrot (+ money) to attract someone decent next year.
We probably won't though.
Still, though no senior assistant is better than Scott Camporeale.
I suspect that is the real reason - cost cutting following the payouts“Opted”
That soft cap must be tight
