We have Voss, now we have the Assistants...

[swuzzlebubble]

Thanks for the post. One name that stood out for me is Stevie J. Does anyone know his contact status? Would he be a good get?

At gws through next year

The only and only Bruce Doull

We needed Bruce Doull as senior assistant to David Teague.

That would have been a quiet coaches box.

was mentioned as possible assistant for Ross.

 

[Accidental genius]

Need to go hard at assistants for this year and the next. This is where we have a go at Clarkson or Lyon again and see if they are interested in this role either 2022 or 2023.

can you see us going after lyon again? he appeared to show some interest and then pulled out for some unknown reason. strange.

My last post on BF was a hundred years ago. I'm genuinely excited with Voss so here's my 2 cents. His steely resolve and competitive nature is just what we need to instill into the playing list.

Here's my take on assistants................which I know zero about.

Voss
Scarlett - winning culture (backs) Has a 10 week rest then back refreshed the 1st day of Pre-season
Power (Onball)
McQualter - winning culture (Mids/Opposition)
Stevie J. - winning culture (ties with Cook) (forwards) we need an eclectic Coach to think outside the box.
Gary Aryes - winning culture - all round good guy and Master Coach for words of wisdom and a clear head ala Neil Balme

As for development Coaches.

Ayres
Heath Scotland
Tom Rockcliff

To start with.....

I like the Gary Ayres choice.
At least one of Voss’s assistants should be a wise owl with lots of experience and general footy smarts.

 

[slashin_velvet]

Leigh Tudor was highly regarded a few years ago - wonder why he fell off the radar?
Scarlett sounds like he's out. Lappin & Tapping both have good credits.

That's what we were told, I believe we have no idea what the full story was and never will. He would be the right person to be a senior assistant IMO. It comes down to availability, there may not be any really good senior assistants available to us this year and there may not be any available the next either, it's important to really go hard at someone when there is a chance they may be available. This is a tough role to fill, probably a lot tougher to fill than the role of senior coach.

 

[Revenant1965]

At this stage my list of possibles (acknowledging Power already there) includes:
Tapping
Lappin
Black
Hayes
Chaplin
EDIT: add Solomon

 

[The Coach]

I like the Gary Ayres choice.

Voss is 46

 

[zeggie]

Lappin & Solomon should be our first phone calls.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Only

 

[slashin_velvet]

Salopek is one I'd like to understand in terms of progression. He's been with our Women's team as coach, but I rated him at Port as a player and would be keen to understand where he sits career wise.

Who is our ruck coach? I know Kruezer was given a role at some stage, but can't see him on our official coaches listing.

 

[dlb99]

Voss is 46

Bruce Arians won the Super Bowl this year at the age of 68.

Voss is young by world football coaching standards.

So he is too young. what did we do. why didnt we get clarko. this club has no idea what its doing. get rid of sayers, williams too

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Grigg at Geelong seems well regarded in a development role and could double up as ruck coach

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Vossy can probably have Leathal Leigh on standby for a coffee if he needs some guidance.
I'd be just as happy with a recently retired player to have closer connection to the players generation.
Not sure we want our whole group to be in the 44-46 range either

 

[judd05]

Lappin & Solomon should be our first phone calls.

Agreed

as VFL coach/ development and Power step up too midfield coach.

We need a strong senior assistant, I would be talking with Tapping and Yze.

Jordan Russel is getting some raps at WB's

 

[Styxx]

I fully expect a play to be made at one or multiple Demon/Bulldogs assistant coaches just to see if they can shake a fruit off the tree.

We have the head coach to go into trade period with, can spend an extra 2-4 weeks nailing the assistant roles. Would rather go slow and get the best than rush and * it up again

Reckon Jordan Russell may not have the best feelings towards the blues following his exit.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Thanks.

AFL reporting it's a short term break.

Whatever "short term" means....

Taking a 4 day break.
See you next Tuesday.

Can't tell if sarcasm or not.

 

[BlueVision]

I really hope we get an experienced senior assistant. The last time I thought we were well coached was when Neil Craig was supporting Bolton.

Spot on, even a Brenton Sanderson would be a handy addition to take that role.
