There may be a thread about Assistant Coaches in 2017 but some of the latest news is specific and mixed imo.
According to Rucci writing in this morning's Monopoly Times all assistants except Budda Hocking have been assured they will be at Alberton next year. Given the widespread dissatisfaction expressed about the likes of Voss and Hart this is sobering news to say the least. I have never thought Budda Hocking was anything exceptional but I am not enamoured with Voss or Hart either.
Apparently the AFL requires that all assistants are given an indication of their status for the following year by July 31 and all but Hocking have been told they will be retained.
The one ray of good news is that if Hocking goes it may open the door for Brendan Lade to return to Alberton. That bit is conjecture on Rucci's part but it may happen.
