Forget Cox... Club legend but doing a disservice to the position going after someone who's not keen.

I like Schofield... He's completely different to Simpson in how he projects to the players and supporters (and the media flogs)... It's refreshing

It wouldn't be the worst thing to back him in(3 year contract)... And give the club certainty going into recruiting/draft season.
 
Of the names linked to the club so far, I’m firmly in the Montgomery camp.

Great CV, from all accounts a brilliant student of the game, brings a hard edge and fresh eyes.

Hope he goes well in the interview process.

The performance against Carlton as well as the performance against St Kilda were as bad as anything we dished up under Simpson this year. I’m not saying it rules him out but I think it definitely puts him back into the peloton.

Maybe it is how Schofield responds to those performances that would make the difference, as he still has the same under-performing players to work with that Simmo had?

In his presser the other day he wasn't pulling his punches regarding players not fulfilling their given roles. I get the feeling he'd certainly not tolerate the performances from senior, and I guess junior, players that Simmo tolerated in recent years. That may possibly be a point of difference with him.
 
Could be a busy week ahead for initial interviews with employed assistants with the finals bye nxt wk?

McQualter definitely didn’t deny he was interested in the eagles job on Sen earlier.

Yes a senior coach like choco would be excellent. He's sort of like Kern but has a flag
 

Anyone with an Age subscription?

Hopefully she mentions how many rejected her beloved Tigers gig last year

Pretty good read tbh

More of why assistants and ex-players/coaches are reluctant to take the top job in general than any dig at WC. Specifically says only one of the 4 that rejected going for the job did so because of the list. (Unless I misunderstood I think she implies this was Giansiracusa)

Danny Daly is out too by the sounds which is new news.

Montgomery, Lade and McQualter mentioned as the leading candidates
