Re: Consolidated "New Coach" thread - part II

Okay Ill bite, how do you know there is a presser tomorrow?

Well, there have been rumours floating around for a bit over here. I'm kinda putting 2 and 2 together. Have a few people that i talk to that have some Eagles connections as well

Goss on Saturday night said it was a done deal, he also mentioned on a radio bit a week or so ago that he had done at least one of his presentations

Then there are the tweets tonight from some reliable sources. My only concern was that we were also considering Neeld, but once he was announced as Melbourne coach late on friday night and confirmed at lunch on Saturday, that Burns was indeed our man and we were here to make an offer today

So i'll give myself some wiggle room (like Rhett "Walker is gone to GWS, i'm 99% sure" Biglands) but i am 99% it'll be official tomorrow arvo. and Burns will fly in for the announcement on the early flight ready for a lunch time presser

Hope youre right.

Two benefits, hopefully got ourselves a decent coach and Birdmanptr doesnt post for a month!

I can't believe there wouldn't be more "leaks"

for an administration labelled weak they have held their cards fairly tight!

I hope i am too. Him or Neeld are both great choices for first time coaches

Have had an eerie weeekend. Predicted a few results at work today to my wife before the store even opened this morning and they happened

And i called Burns officially around 8pm Friday and then heard some of the AFC guys were over here.

Cue spooky music

Re: Consolidated "New Coach" thread - part II

If Burns is coach, does he stop straight away or do we let him build his experience with WC?

Love him to get the experience but would be great having him here to try and impact on list decisions, ie Gunston, Maric, Armstrong and Tippett if the clause exists.

Not so sure about that, yesterday he had the process taking another 10 days. He also has been wrong on many aspects of the process, I cant imagine he is in the loop.

I'd be happy to let him stay at WCE until they are knocked out.

not sure if they would be

He'd stop straight away.

He's got to get over here quick smart and start firing people.

WC have said they would be happy for him to finish out the season.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Can't wait until he calls Harper, Clarke, Camporeale, Reilly, Doughty and co into his office for a little chat.

so what is the word in perth? a done deal?

 

[Hank93]

I would would prefer for him to stay at West Coast for the remainder of the season.

PF and possibly grand final experience will be so valuable for us going forward.

Positives and negatives for both situations. Any word if the presser will happen tomorrow or are we just guessing/hoping.

According to Rucci it would still have to be ratified by the board on Thursday. Hope hes wrong again because thats a pointless wait.

Any Bickley fans on the Board?

 

[Elite Crow]

I reckon he has it wrong again. If the panel included Board members Smart, Trigg and Payze why the charade of taking the decision to the board.

Can you imagine the negotiations, "Scott we want you to be our coach, but we cant confirm it until the other board members agree"

If I was Burns I would have fired back "well why didnt you do that before you came to see me, youve had 8 weeks!"

The general feeling is he is gone.

Wouldn't be many assistant coaches that would knock back a senior coaching role.

I think the more interesting question is who are the Saints and the Bulldogs going to end up with?

 

[Cap]

Re: Consolidated "New Coach" thread - part II

apparently the Dogs one is almost a done deal with an ex player (Cameron?)

Saints would be a bit lost though!

Re: Burns to be the next afc coach?

LOL ... now we just need to find him an assistant named Smithers

Rohan Smith-ers?

 

[dplggr47]

Reilly and Doughty just signed new deals. unlikely they're going anywhere. wonder if Bicks will remain on the coaching staff?

Don't hold your breath.

And you know what? It's time to let all the anger go now - apart from being pitiably unimaginative and boring in here - it's not good for your soul. It's going to be a new era for us as a Club, how about we make it that for in here as well. Clean slate for everyone and let's move forward.

Re: Burns to be the next afc coach?

He is an excellent choice.

Burnsy is a Norwood lad who was a very good player, but talent wise it was always a battle for him.

Are you serious? Burns was an excellent player. Wasn't quick but other than that yo would struggle to find many holes in his game.

Always loved the way he played the game. Very happy if Scott is our coach.

Now for some decent assistants. Maybe Jonas back in the box and Freedy Bassett to come too.

AS committed as Lyon to the Saints and Freo to Harvey? We shall see.
