Assistant Coaches

[barrackers]

Seems like i’m one of few that is keen to see what Skipworth brings to the table.

It's been less than 12 months since Skipworth broke his Essendon contract two days after preseason had commenced to replace Lockyer; he's obviously made a good impression in a very short period of time. As you say Boyd was similarly fast tracked.

He got Essendon's VFL team into the finals, so he must have some ability.

Monkey...?

Don’t hold your breath

Monkey...?

Unlikely for several reasons. Reportedly there is no love lost between Monkey and Bucks. Pies are not replacing any coaching departures. Others at the club are taking on additional roles

Carroll replaces the promoted Skipworth as head of academy. Ex-Hawthorn, don't mind the appointment.

Carroll will arrive at Collingwood after a decade at Hawthorn where he coached Box Hill to a VFL premiership in 2013, served as an assistant to Alastair Clarkson in the premiership year of 2015 and most recently was Head of Development and Learning.

Without knowing him etc - his CV seems pretty good.

I like it.

Yep. He's he brings a heap of experience. Mostly development, but had a brief stint as the hawks midfield coach in 2016.

Any chance he can take over Harvey's role as midfield coach?

Is Harvey taking the NM job? Can't see that change otherwise.

Harvey seems desperate for a senior coaching gig, he interviewed for every vacancy last year (Saints, Carlton, Freo, Crows, North originally) so hopefully he puts his hand up again.

The Carroll appointment is some welcome news among what is seemingly less than welcome news.

 

[BigSav36]

So will he coach our VFL team or will that be Selwood? Or someone else?

Craig Black is the rumour. Ex-Dandenong stringrays coach and currently our pathways coach.

DC is a terrific appointment for the Pies. He coached the BHH to the 2013 premiership and was selected as the coach of the 20 year 2000 to 2019 BHH All Stars team. He’s a very good educator and development coach. At the BHH he strongly advocated for what was best for the team and players. DC is a ripper bloke of great integrity and I was very disappointed and upset when he was a victim of the soft cap. Hawthorn’s loss is a big gain for the Pies. I wish DC well.

Carroll the best news in ages, an outsider!! His resume reads very well me likey

For love of God they can have him. He can take sando with him

I am amazed that anyone could believe there are AFL clubs looking at Robert Harvey and thinking, "We must get him to our club as senior coach".

Never heard of him but like what you have mentioned there. Being a good educator is the thing that I liked reading the most. Chris Fagan surrounded himself with teaching/educational type coaches and that seems to be looking good for them. Maybe this is the new path as opposed to ex players.

Hey we can dream

 

[Hardas]

Carroll has great credentials - excellent news!

 

[Jen2310]

Least Gotch got a new gig.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

I was hoping this would happen. We played such an attractive brand of footy during this period. Cant wait to see us roll it out again.

The Buckley era of coaching has been a joy to all Collingwood fans, especially the 2013 to 2017 period indeed.

Cannot wait until 2021..

Will just get better when Eddie extends his contract because apparently he's the chosen one to lead us to the promised land.

Good times await.....

As damning a tweet as you'll see from a current player.

Sorry? Why is a tweet thanking him damning? If anything it’s just a show of respect.
