Brian Royal did a great job at Melbourne this year. He certainly improved things like our midfield and he brought new tactics to the team. He deserves a senior job.

Remember when all the scribes said that the Bulldogs had 'changed the face of football forever' when they used flooding of the defense to beat essendon ?
Well A Chris Connolly tactic destroyed all that the very next week.
Does this mean he's a better tactician than Sheedy ? Perhaps not, he had an extra week to think about it

Robert Shaw is the best AFL assistant coach out there by a country mile but no hope of being a senior coach again. Does that count as an answer?
Its gotta be Chris Connolly by an absolute mile!!!!!

As a senior coach, Ken Judge made a good assistant coach at Carlton, shoulda stuck to that!
essendon as a coaching panel is miles infront
robert shaw and mark harvey

Neil Craig.
AFAIK, possesor of a 100% strike rate in AFL coaching ranks, possibly the only one.

It will be interesting to see how Bluey McKenna goes this year. If he coaches half as good as he played, he'll be a wonderful asset to the club.
What's peoples view on Peter German and can anyone tell me a little about his coaching experience (apart from working with Judge at Hawthorn)

Asgardian, I agree 100%. I have been telling anyone who will listen that Worsfold would make a great senior coach at the Power.

If ya smell what Santos is cooking!!
Tony Elshaug has been and still is a fantastic backup to Denis Pagan. It's only his low profile that has prevented him from getting a senior job to date.

David Wheadon would have to be the most experienced assistant coach, fronting up for his 17th consecutive season in the job. This includes stints at Geelong, Carlton, Essendon, Collingwood and Richmond. Interesting that takes in the 5 biggest Victorian clubs!
I think Darren Crocker's star is on the rise - maybe in 2 - 3 years he will have control of a senior job.

As, i know Hawthorn interviewed him for the senior coaching job when they appointed Schwab and were very impressed by him. I reckon if he wasnt just out of footy he might of even got the job, although im extremely happy with the appointment of Schwabby.
GE, you guys chased Kenny Judge pretty hard when he still had a year left of his contract at Hawthorn to serve, you wanted him so bad you even took Peter German (grabbed the wrong assistant, we kept the good one!) so now your stuck with him, although seeing as he has no regard for contracts i guess he couldnt argue if you dumped him.

Robert Shaw. His experience as a senior coach in terms of match-day coaching, tactics, player management and also recruiting cannot be under-estimated in Essendon's success. This has been acknowledged by Kevin Sheedy on a number of occasions in the last two years.
roylion u are spot on, sort of
essendons success is due to in some way to shawry, aswell as being a great person he is great coach, with experience
as for dave whieldon a great tactition but beyong that im still wondering
