Is there a world where Crocks could be coaching the mens team by mid 2026?

Actually we don't . we need a bigger cabinet. They already moved out lots of silverware including my fav the ansett cup to make way for first aflw cup. Not sure where this one will go

I think it's a stretch. You can't assume that he can replicate that success of the womens team with the mens. Or that his style which has been a winner with the women, will translate to the men.

He did well in both his interim AFL cracks. I started a thread back in the day that we should be taking him seriously and not getting doe eyed for Buckley. And (not that I knew then) later Scott.

All that said he's working wonders in AFLW and that is probably that.

Keep Crocker in ALFW. Love to get 3

By way of other teams having to sort of copy us to at least compete, Crock is shaping the whole AFLW competition exactly the way he likes it, while to quote him " remaining ahead of the curve at the same time " , we are in very good hands.

Yes, he’s beginning to look a lot like Pagan in the 80s & 90s, wining premierships at a junior level - just waiting for the lights in the big league.

I remember he coached toward the end of 2009 and in an otherwise crap year we finished fairly well.

Why would he?

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Why would he?

Agree, why go down a level.

How many Under 19s flags did he play in during the 80s under Pagan?

The bloke is ultimate Shinboner. He's been a part of the joint for the best part of 40 years. He made the best of his ability as a player - not flashy, never the star, filling whatever role the club needed. As a coach he's been an assistant, stand-in, AFLW - not flashy, never the star, filling whatever role the club needed.

Is it too much to push for his inclusion in the NMFC Hall of Fame?
