That's surprising. I feel that some decent staff will be gettable this year with everything that is going on. Need to make the most of it.
I think the trouble is how many of them are likely to want to move to Adelaide? It really is the same situation as key / star players in their prime - unless they are South Aussies we are never really in the conversation.
Dermot Brereton.
He would never coach full time, but his "coaching" while commentating for forwards is spot on.
He did some work with GWS a few years ago.

I think that’s the point. If somebody is choosing between a reduced role/salary maybe we can land someone of quality who wouldn’t under normal circumstances consider a move to SA.

Derm coaching fog? Yes please.
Problem we have is 2 fold:
1. It’s SA, so that limits just by itself; and
2. We did attract a high quality assistant from interstate - Josh Francou. Couldn’t stand the place and couldn’t get out quick enough. If there is any kind of coaching grapevine that’s going to be hard to overcome

Is it worth sounding out Worsfold?

The last person you would want to appoint is John Barker, have never liked him and he still stays on at my club. Must have some photos of someone somewhere hidden.
Paul Roos has the experience but would he move to Adelaide and would he be prepared to play second banana to Nicks ?? Unless you put $1mill on the table, I don't think so.
Brad Scott sounds like a good option but I too can't see him leaving Melbourne and the cosy gig in AFLHQ.
Where is Neil Craig these days ?? Always came across as a guy with strong integrity & purpose, you could do a lot worse than having him in your corner again.

In reality I think Neil Craig was a better assistant coach than head coach, at least he had a clear game plan though. Would be unlikely to come back to the Crows.
Realised I had a typo in the OP, had written Barker as AFL instead of Carlton, thanks. I'd heard good things about Barker from a mate who worked with the club, but I'm not a Blues supporter so hard to know.
As much as it pains me to say it, I actually think Scott would be great for us. But unless he misses coaching I have no idea why he'd leave an easy gig at HQ to come here.

Good thread this one.
Nicks must be given the opportunity to find who he wants.

If we can find the money there are a few to choose from and moving to Adelaide gives them a chance they may not get elsewhere

Yep, and probably fair to say that we might get access to people willing to come here in off field roles that may not have been the case pre-CoVid
You’re out of a job, you’ve got a family and you’re living in Melbourne right now - suddenly Adelaide looks more attractive than usual

Suspect it may be a good thing longer term. Might find more players going back to state leagues if they want to pursue a coaching career

Coronavirus is the best thing to have happened for our coaching prospects. Will be a few decent ones up for grabs you would think.
We are so crap right now the only way up is a deadly global pandemic!

If a new chairman does indeed come in he might want to splash some cash as a feel good story

I would be targeting jimmy Bartel. Throw a s**t tonne at him to get him into the coaching panel.

He's a director on the GWS board atm, apart from his media commitments
