Opinion Assistant & Line Coach Support

[Psicosis]

A lot been made of the decision to sack our line coaches & the obvious support that Rhyce is lacking.

If the club does not bring in some really strong assistant/line coaches for Rhyce next year, he may as well hand the keys over now. My belief (unless they are completely delusional) is that they will absolutely bring in some outside support for 2021.

Rhyce Shaw ✔
Gavin Brown ✔

Jade Rawlings ?
Jarred Moore ?
Heath Scotland ?
Leigh Adams ?

So the question is who stays of our current crop and who is brought in?

Dean Solomon is highly regarded and has been let go by the Suns.

Buddha Hocking is one that always gets thrown around as a prospective head coach.

 

[Mr north man]

Replace Moore Replace Scotland
Replace Brown need people who have some Fu:king C:nt about them with new ideas

 

[Bigeasy]

I'd get rid of Jade Rawlings because I don't like the fact his younger brother is the boss. Not sure how Brady sacks Jade now or in the future. Buckley should never have let this happen.

Agreed such a conflict of interest.

 

[Colbys Boots]

Maybe we could hire all of the line coaches that every other club is being forced to sack.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

How about a new administration, featuring the likes of Denis Pagan, Ron Joseph, Ron Casey and Allen Aylett?

 

[Shinboner1]

This thread could get a whole lot more interesting over the coming weeks

 

[Psicosis]

Moore surely next to go?

I have a feeling they are cleaning house of people who've been there for years who haven't been exceptional. Going to be a whole new coaching staff... again. Big focus on people who can accelerate the growth of the youngers and push them hard with set standards.

Moore surely next to go?

I heard hes finished. Was reported somewhere on the socials recently.

 

[So You Think]

I think I recall chat about us trying to lure Daniel Pratt, not sure if it was as a potential senior when Brad resigned or as an assistant?

This aged well...

Whats going on is Brady cutting to bring back Drew, Simo, Pratt, and everyone else over at Coke Eagles?

North Melbourne has informed assistant coaches Jade Rawlings and Jarred Moore that they will not continue in their roles at Arden St, as well as development coach Heath Scotland, head of football performance Jason Lappin, part-time ruck coach Will Minson and Next Generation Academy coach Michael Firrito.



The football department changes coincide with a raft of wider staff cuts that the club was forced to make this week to combat the impact of Covid-19.



“These are all quality individuals that sacrificed a lot for the club in our Queensland hub,” GM football Brady Rawlings said.



“I’d sincerely like to thank each and every one of these individuals for their hard work and dedication.



“I am truly sorry to see them go, but these decisions have been made in the best interests of the club and its future.”



Gavin Brown, Brent Harvey and Leigh Adams will continue with the club.

Not the Spud

 

[Horace]

Very disappointed that Spud has gone.

Is anyone else starting to feel quite a bit uneasy about all of these cuts?

The email says the reason is due to the financial impact of covid-19, rather than performance. Are we in worse shape financially than might be expected after a year like this? Just thinking aloud.

 

[RossHenshaw]

I don’t buy the quote “that the club was forced to make the decisions this week to combat the impact of Covid-19 “
Surely this is the opportunity Brady has been waiting for most of this s#it year . I’m sure Covid or no Covid an AFL club still needs assistant coaches (min midfield, defence & forward coaches )
Surely Rhys & his “mentor” cannot possibly handle the whole lot !?

 

[Hojuman]

Not the Spud. Shinboner to his bootstraps.

 

[winalotroos]

Barrett and Wilson will have a field day with this.

I just hope those that were threatening not renewing membership over Brown pull their heads in, if true it appears that the club needs its members now more then ever.

I’d say Moore would be performance related regardless based on nothing but my own opinion of our midfields 5 year performance.

I don't think we are in a worse shape, but the soft cap is going down next year from 9m to 6m so we have to cut football department costs otherwise the AFL is going to slap a 100% tax on top of the excess and we can't afford that.

Who cares what these 2 campaigners have got to say ?!

 

[muttley45]

One thing for sure, there is going to be a huge pool of candidates for assistant coaches jobs next year.

Combined with clearing the deck in the playing list.

The way the Brown thing has gone down.

Yes I am starting to feel uneasy.
