Yep let's appoint someone who is a list manager as a coach because he was our hero growing up......genius.
An assistant coach at Collingwood, Swans, Dogs, and St Kilda in their two grand final years..

And hasn't coached since when???

People think the game has passed Mick by...and he only had one year off after coaching the Pies to consecutive GFs.

What about the ex-Cat Turner who is churning out talent consistently at the Falcons?
 
IF Mick decides to pull the pin or IF he can't turn the club around and is shown the door, they I would hope to hell that we scour the nation for the best coach available at that point in time. One who is willing to buy into the club 110%.

At the moment, candidates would be (including some coaches currently at other clubs that I rate) in no particular order:
  • Alistair Clarkson
  • Ken Hinkley
  • Guy McKenna
  • Stuart Dew
  • Brendan Bolton
  • Nathan Bassett
  • Simon Black* (yet to see if he can coach, but he's a legend and a smart guy)
  • Matthew Scarlett
 
Nah, not really. Buckley could have coached the WEagles to a flag in the middle of last decade, they were a pretty amazing team. And it went all downhill from there.

Was wondering the same, don't like how they went down hill. I do wonder how many of the players the Eagles had arrived in Worsfold's time.

I think you need to look at the trades a club makes while a coach is there to get a good grip on whether they can manage a list or not as well as premierships. The top coaches trade players who look like they can play for picks and players who turn out to be more useful.
 
Seems pretty clear to me the Trigg deal is a gambit move by the club to lure Sando over.

We may have to deal with some negative publicity now, but you lot just wait until we get to see Brenton in a navy blue polo (sans the red and yellow crap)...

Happy days.
