So only Capuano and Barker survive from this year.
Really like the look of this panel.

Neil Craig I don't know about that

Brad Green gets the boot

Quick look over the new panel members, looks like we're going hard for guys with a strong development background which is great.

 

[Crippa#9]

Will be interesting if Craig McRae & or Josh Fraser are later additions given they have been linked to the club in the last couple of weeks.

 

[Dominator_7]

So no McRae ?
And what about Fitness and Conditioning ?

 

[Sin City]

Some good experience added there. Well done Blues.

 

[zeeCFC]

Jeepers, Shane Watson can probably hear me typing about his ears right now.

 

[Blue Razor]

I think that will be part of Neil Craig role which is what he did at Adelaide before he became Coach.

 

[Jatz]

Really like the look of that

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Welcome Jenny !

All appointees look like well credentialed and well respected at the clubs they worked at.

Terrific hirings, in my opinion.

 

[TBellicious]

Barker - stoppages.

Terrific, we will once again be strong in that area. He did a very good job in stoppages this year did Barks.

 

[TBellicious]

Never heard of Clarke, Watson and Amos. Any info?

And is Craig that good?

Click on the link in the OP.

There are bios on all the coaching panel on the CFC website.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Wasn't Capuano development and ruck coach? Does this mean he no longer has ruck responsibilities?

 

[jimsta10]

taking a broom stick approach. happy with the section.

Hopefully they've retained Sav in some capacity

 

[TBellicious]

Hopefully they've retained Sav in some capacity

Great call. Sav should work with all forwards for a majority of the season. Bad kicking for goal is bad football. Accurate kicking for goal is crucial in this inaccurate day and age.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Jeepers, Shane Watson can probably hear me typing about his ears right now.

Bit of an all-rounder.

 

[AceAndy]

Not feeling particularly good about Barker remaining though, but if Bolton is..................then fine.

Why is that Harks ?

 

[TBellicious]

If Shane Watson were a goal umpire i get the feeling he'd review a lot of decisions.....
