Tell me about Horsey, I know almost nothing about him.
For that people that do, what are his strengths and disposition?

Interesting... Don't even think he was officially coaching at Subiaco...
Must have been impressive during the interviews then.
One of of those who was always going to coach, just expected that he would do it in the WAFL first.
Natural leader who always had a reputation as a player of being professional in preparation and having a hunger to get the most out of what their body could achieve.
Depends what kind of development the club are after from him - if it is based around mindset, approach and adjustment to senior football, then it could end being a very smart move.
Development coach that is younger than Hurn.
I thought development coaches were the most junior coaches that helped players address their weaknesses. Nicoski become one the year after he was delisted and Rosa's gig with us started in that role. I think he's probably seen as a good "student of the game" as he got a lot out of himself without being the most gifted player.
Pridda would probably be an amazing development coach for the same reasons.
I like this appointment. Highly rated as a WAFL player so I don’t see why he can’t be successful?

Quite like the idea of a guy coming in from outside the AFL system as a development coach. Especially a guy who is arguably the best WAFL player of the last decade and potentially the best state league player of the last decade. He’ll bring a different perspective and life skills unlike our usual jobs for the boys development coaches.
Also a guy who didn’t quite make it at AFL level. Sure he got drafted but did not forge a career at AFL level.
Will be able to explain to young uns - getting drafted means ‘jack’ You still need to earn the right to play games through hard work, diligence and attention to detail.

I am warming to the appointment, initially I though WTF .... is that the best we can afford.
However reading some of the posts above and yours, has had me soften my reaction and see the possibilities, I just had concerns that he was to green behind the ears as he has not coached before ever.
The knowledge is very important in coaching BUT the ability to communicate it is what makes the difference.
He is on board now, so I wish him all the best and want him to succeed.
got links to either of them saying that
i dont get this.
we are in a premiership window closer to 2am than 10
i dont gaf if we have to pay a tax - go hard - its a good time to be hiring....
The link to the article is in my post you quoted. They are quoted in the article.
That's the line that a wealthy club should cross at some point, "* the tax we can afford it and they don't let us spend our money on anything else anyway".

Significant reduction in numbers
We had to skim the top layer off our Scrooge McDuck-style moneybin.
Wow - we are a good club. Our last three coaches have taken us from 1989 until now. All of them have won premierships.
Have we ever had a caretaker coach? Think about s**t clubs like norf, Carltank and smellbourne and how many they've had over the years. No surprise about the results.
Knowing this board, this could be one hell of a ride. Especially if we have another year like 2017
