Getting him a headlock and making his face go red would also be very funny.

Was always going to happen. He needed a decent break from Collingwood. Plus lots of jobs will be available in 10-11 months time. Think 7 coaches come out of contract in 2022 and another 6 in 2023. The only guys signed up to end of 2024 or 2025 are Voss, Mcrae and Mitchell of the new coaches and Hardwick and Simpson of the old ones.

How will he be able to work if he hasn’t been jabbed?

Lots of work to do, but at least unlike Ken, he realises you need to keep learning.

If nothing else, you can be certain that Chad will give everything he possibly has into the job. Our defense is already very good so he really won't have to be reinventing the wheel.

Erin Phillips might become an assistant coach if we get her back to Port for AFLW.
Looks like both SA clubs are looking at integrating their footy departments across men and women. Women assistants in men's programs will be half funded 1/2 by AFL 1/2 by the clubs and outside the soft cap. So work in the AFLW program and be a development coach with the men's team and a full time role.

Didn't sound like it would be Erin in the first instance going by Caro's comment that we want her back as a player only to start with. So whoever we appoint as the AFLW coach might be getting preparation in the men's program?

If the season starts in August we get her to play August to December, she then becomes an assistant at end of December in a development role. Probably would be her last year of playing. Might be appointed AFLW coach in February.

I would be surprised if we appointed an AFLW coach for one season then replaced her with Erin.

Depends who it is, especially if it's Greg just warming the seat for Erin. But I agree that the first coach would survive more than 1 season. But the timing is right to make Erin integrated into the men's program and be a full time employee. Caro didn't put a starting date on it.

Caro's follow up stories re female assistant coaches. Unless the crows are going to employ Chelsea Randall and Erin Phillips, I read this as Erin has been offered a role at Port
www.theage.com.au
At least one half of the AFL’s 18 clubs will employ full-time female assistant coaches in their previously all-male coaching departments before the end of the 2022 season.
In a radical affirmative action plan hatched to redress the glaring dearth of women mentors in the AFLW, coaches and aspiring coaches such as Bec Goddard, Alicia Eva, Chloe McMillan, Erin Phillips, Daisy Pearce and Chelsea Randall will be assured full-time roles in the AFL system.
All nine women coaches will all earn at least $100,000 a year, which will sit outside the football-department soft cap. The AFL will contribute $50,000 to each aspiring woman coach with the clubs making up the difference.
............
Both Adelaide and Port Adelaide - whose presentations impressed head office - are vying for the services of Phillips post-football but the Adelaide champion looks likely to play on next season, switching to her father Greg’s club in its maiden AFLW year. The Crows look certain to fast-track Randall into their coaching program.
Apart from the two Adelaide clubs, Collingwood (McMillan), Geelong, GWS (Eva), North Melbourne and Port Adelaide learned this week that their football programs would each be bolstered by at least one woman coach. North Melbourne have not chosen their woman coaching candidate.
The AFL’s move in recent days to expand the women’s acceleration program to include Brisbane, Essendon and Hawthorn will cost head office a further $150,000 and while there is no ceiling on the women assistants’ wages only $100,000 can sit outside the soft cap.
.........
Of the 18 clubs only Sydney, who enter the AFLW competition next season with former North Melbourne coach Scott Gowan at the helm, and West Coast did not apply for an AFL-funded woman coach. Carlton, Fremantle, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Richmond, St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs all presented unsuccessfully to the AFL to fast-track a woman coach into their full-time football programs.

Hopefully I'm wrong - which is typically my modus operandi

Have you heard when announcements of the women coaches will be made?
I guess after the AFLW GF if Erin is going to Port in that capacity (although Caro did say originally she expected Erin to go to Port in a playing capacity only).
PS reading the quote from Caro, is there a third Adelaide club I'm not aware of?

Haven't heard anything and I wasn't expecting anything until this month anyway, and makes sense to wait until season is over, if we are pinching anyone from other clubs, which will be more than just Erin.Have you heard when announcements of the women coaches will be made?

I suspect the new season start date has probably also affected the timing.
I know we said we would appoint a female as coach, but if Erin says she wants to play one year and then get into coaching I hope they appoint Greg to do the job for a year. He's been coaching women's team at lower level so he has experience with coaching amateuer women and I doubt he tried to implement AFL style game plans.
I reckon that is part of the problem with AFLW, is trying to get the women playing like the men when they don't have the skills and experience to play like that like that, and its not like what you have with Olympic sports - hockey, basketball etc where AIS development programs and contracted senior players in the men's and women's programs have had 30 years of similar development and similar game style development.
I reckon AFLW should be more one on one footy like at amateuer level and SANFL / state league level rather than trying to do the high end tactical stuff. Reckon that's where a guy like Greg Phillips who was great at building team culture and keeping the game relatively simple could be of benefit, especially if we want Erin to take over.
I don't think Caro or here subbie, re read her story. If you drop "the two" that's 6 clubs and in the next sentence she mentions 3 more clubs in the next paragraph which gets you to the "half the AFL’s 18 clubs will employ full-time female assistant coaches."

I'm probably getting a bit esoteric here, but I wonder if a really good coach in another sport could transfer to a football program. Obviously they would have to learn the specific tactics, but that's not out of reach.
Back in the day would a Pat Mickan or Jan Stirling have been able to transfer their coaching skills to football? Pat Mickan as I recall was keen for a long time to give it a try, and became a specialist skills coach with Adelaide for a while.
Sometimes a coach's person-management skills are so good they could potentially be brilliant leaders of sportspeople in different settings.

Didn't the Crows have that cycling coach for a while?
