News Coaching Thread: The Hardwick Era

[Sunny_]

I can't believe it's (likely) the day before the announcement and noone has any idea who it could be. Queensland journos not too good when they have to get leaks like this it seems.

I'm still completely baffled why Ashcroft, Clayton & Cockrain are still making football decisions for the club especially during this very important transitional period.

Speaking of delicious racks... has anyone tried the ribs at Mike's Kitchen? Would highly recommend.

Can say I've defeated the kilo of ribs on 2 occasions.

Top ribs

They didn't have the best relationship

Something like Barker getting definitively ruled out or selected would get leaked I reckon given what Melbourne is like

SUNS chairman Tony Cochrane says the successful coaching candidate will come from the three-man shortlist and has rubbished speculation the club made a last minute call to Richmond’s Blake Caracella.

He also firmly ruled out making an approach to Alastair Clarkson after a left-field scenario that the four-time premiership coach might be reassessing his future at Hawthorn in the wake of Jeff Kennett’s return as president.

COACH CALL: BURNS RISES INTO SUNS CALCULATIONS

FREE AGENT: ANY MOTLOP MOVE NOT PART OF ABLETT DEAL

TRADE TALK: MAGPIES CIRCLE SPEEDY SUN SAAD

Cochrane said the final interviews with the shortlisted candidates John Barker, Stewart Dew and Scott Burns had been completed but a decision had yet to be made on who would replace Rodney Eade.

CEO Mark Evans had now been tasked with completing some processes set by the three directors involved in the coach hunt – Cochrane, Paul Scurrah and Martin Roelands.

Cochrane predicted the decision could be made Thursday but stressed he had no problems if it dragged into next week.


He said the decision rivalled that of the pre-season appointment of Evans as CEO as the most important in the club’s history.

“We have to get it right and if that takes a bit of extra time I’m happy with that,’’ he said.


“We cannot be in a situation in two or three year’s time where we ae thinking we need to find a new coach.’’

Cochrane gave no hint to who was the preferred candidate but said all made excellent presentations.

He's not wrong.

I dare say they will make decision today if all interviews are done and name tommorow or Friday
