Assistant Coaches 2017 - Lade returns!

[RossFC]

Get a feeling we'll promote one of Surjan/Hentschel/Cochrane/SANFL guys to the AFL role like we did with Edwards and Nicks years back.

Surjan failed miserably coaching the Academy a few years ago. He should be nowhere near our AFL side.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I don't know why we keep employing nobodies because they played for us at some point in time. People like Surjan have never had success.

There would be no need to hold that announcement back. Sure, keep it out of trade week. So maybe next week. Who nose?

From the CEO -

We will invest in the development of our leadership, skills and approach to the game. We welcome Brendon Lade back, and will announce more structural change soon.

If it's already sorted why not mention it, what's the hold up?

I would say we are waiting for Montgomery's non compete clause to end with the Western Bulldogs, so we should probably expect an announcement on November 1st - this is a complete guess though, me nose nothing.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I don't really want Monty, his exit from the Bulldogs tarnished him a fair bit imo. In a time where we need to nail everything, I'm just not sure.

Sumich has signed to coach his own side somewhere. Seems set on it.

Boo-urns

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Not sure what the Sumich love is all about anyway he comes across as pretty basic when I've heard him talk footy.. even to the point of durr

He is coaching the WA U/18 kids in a full development role similar to what Sticks Phillips has been doing with the SA U/18 kids for the last decade or so. Sticks also works with the U/16 kids. Not sure if he also coaches them at the U/16 championships like he does with the U/18's.

Scott Burns was all the rage a few years ago. What happened to that shining star?

 

[GreyPower]

Burns is at Collingwood now I think. From what Ive heard he wouldnt be involved with Port when there are members of a certain Studley family there.

"if Port Adelaide does not appoint Ratten coach ........ then it is proof the South Australian club is very much the ratbag organisation we all think it is"

I like the "we all think it is" part. Implying that everything thinks it anyway.

You can't argue with his logic though. Carlton aren't a ratbag organisation for sacking Ratten with still a year on his contract because he is a useless coach but Portz.

 

[Spadge]

im starting to think there will be no further additions to our coaching ranks... and perhaps just a bit more deck chair shuffling

Who's quote is that?

If that is the case, Ken will put his first nail into his coaching coffin. He needs experience in the box with a new senior assistant. Perhaps they will announce during the formal announcement of China game. Ya know, a big launch of 2017 for the club. Only can hope....

Patrick Smith I believe.
