News Burns new senior assistant

It's also hard to rate his involvement properly at some of these clubs. Hawthorn doesn't exactly have the best list, particularly around the ball.

West Coast rebuilt successfully while he was there, making finals twice towards the end of his tenure. However at Collingwood his tenure lined up with Collingwood's 4 years out of the finals

Was that when Bucks traded out a few of their quality seniors and went heavy into the draft? They got that list up and going reasonably well.

 

[Scorpus]

Wasn’t that early in Bucks’ tenure? There were a few issues with the whole club during those early days of Buckley which weren’t in the control of an assistant coach.

Years 3-6 of Nathan Buckley

Overall I'm quite positive, as he's had decent stints at West Coast, Collingwood and Hawthorn. He's also one of the names that frequently comes up when head coaching vacancies are announced, so it also feels like he's still go the hunger as opposed to say Campo, who had his side business as a distraction.

Campo wanted to be senior coach, he just believed that it should be handed to him without presenting and competing with others.

Sounds like he is already making moves for us after the last few days! Maybe he has already come across but they can't announce it until Tigers have finished their season.

This is twice someone has said this... I thought he’d already been let go from Richmond In the COVID purge?

I think it's the fact he worked under Clarkson.

His time at Collingwood was under a little rejuvenation, not a bad little spell under a similar scenario.

Was in charge of a dysfunctional forward line in 2018-19, then was in charge of stoppages this year, where again they were dysfunctional, apparently

So by that rationale Sam Mitchell must be crap too... sounds a bit grapey to me.....

Agree, my gut feel is we will stock up on coaches to aid the rebuild.

Burns apparently is good with fresh players, if true this is fitting.

He is very experienced with clubs who are developing their lists

Welcome aboard Scott! At the very least he brings some different perspectives from three large clubs!

 

[GROTTO]

The one major positive I feel from this appointment is that the Club is moving in the direction from my perspective that it was in back when we appointed Walsh.

It just has a feel of wanting to get the right candidates in the right positions, then coupled with a good draft hand and preseason and you use that momentum to move up and forward as a Club.

I don't think officially. He's not in the bubble and has/had Blair Hartley up in Queensland doing Balme's job while Richmond are there. Richmond have given reportedly Tim Livingstone and Blair Hartley bigger roles in the football department as they're preparing for them to take over, so I'm guessing the assumption is in a cut football department that process would be sped up and Balme would be moved on for Livingstone and Hartley to take over full-time.

Burns has had a great Assistant Coach career, but for me having someone in the bix who has worked directly with Clarko is key.

That is the well modern success comes from and we have finally tapped into it.

Farming isnt exacly a mon to fri, 9 to 5 job with high levels of security either

Getting a new contract under Nicks would give him security as clubs now have a better idea on soft cap requirements within the current environment


Give it up LOL

What don't you get about wanting to spend more time with his young family....farmers work from home surely you can get that?

He's not doing it for job security or anything else you mention other than spending more time with his young family, pretty simple really.

Hear from Scott Burns as he breaks down some plays and looks at them from a coaches perspective.

More intresting question would can they afford it under the Cap more so with the increase in Cap taxes.
If the Rumours are true about Balme, then I would expect to see a couple of basic Line Coaches,
Money Talks But only when you have it avaiable, or in this case room under the Cap,

You still going on about this. We've had basic line coaches where other clubs have quality across the board. Manage our spending cap properly and we can have nice things.

 

[BrissyCrow]

This club is turning a corner.

Starting to gain a sense of confidence. I believe this is a excellent step in the right direction. But wait there's more ...well I hope the good news continues

FFS I thought you understood Finance, While I am not great at it, I understand that when a club loses 3.2 million in football depart spend, It reduce your abilty to hire staff, Simple maths the more you pay in one area the less you pay in other areas. Burns and Balme will not com Cheap.
So please help us all out If you know where the Crows are going to make these Saving Please let us all know I am sure most would be be intrested,

So good, doing the defenders so the Basset rumor must be bollocks

Bassett is a forwards coach.

I think you want coaches who have come from multiple successful programs.

I'm not worried that WCE had some success after he left. Coaches build success that lives on after them.

"He has been in AFL coaching ranks for over a decade, with successful stints at West Coast and Collingwood, and will now mentor Adelaide's defenders."

Burns joins Crows coaching panel

Highly rated assistant to become Nicks' right-hand man

[thebirdman 24]

Yep, strange he has avoided success at Collingwood and Hawthorn but happy he is external and not a AFC ex player.

At least he's a massive upgrade on previous guys we've had like Scott "44 David Mackays" Camporeale, Mick "No AFL Experience" Godden and Ben "Boys Club" Hart

100% serious - My blind Nan, Maureen could coach that elite midfield. Plus, I also don't miss his "vanilla-ness".

But hey, we need to fill our boys' club quota so maybe he does get the job.

I tell you what though VB would demand great fitness levels - that would be a win.
