Thoughts? Personally, i dont like it. Cox was our stoppage/ruck coach last year and it was an area we were a bit deficient in after the departure of Phil walsh. I dont see at present how this will appointment will enhance things, but lets hope i am wrong.


Fire away people

Real outside the box thinking there...

This is a disturbing article on several levels. The Cox issue is one that least concerns me. I suspect he is a smart coach (the vibe)
3rd round for Ballantine?

Pertie - ruck coach?

New midfield set up

 

[bodazoka]

I like it... basically played as a midfielder.

"Athletic" ruckmen these days still don't get his possession numbers!

 

[Nigellathechook]

So that Simmo's mate, Petrie, can take on the role of ruck coach. Could be a sad season....

FFS i knew it .......

Man... what is going on? I feel like this is a nightmare unfolding

Cox can't coach for shiz. Absolute trash decision.

Jobs for the boys

Wasnt there a rumour floating around that Cox would step into the midfield role and Jamie Graham would become our ruck coach????

 

[Quinz]

Not knowing enough about the specifics, I feel we should be targeting more outside coaching talent given our financial resources. We seem to be too happy just taking ex players straight into roles.

Written by Kim Hagdorn. It's hard to take a source written by that babbling buffoon seriously.

FiveStrings can you put a Hackdorn Disclaimer in the thread title please so people know it's BS

Or at least a rumour badge so people know it hasn't actually happened before someone does a real life Tommen

Done.

No other outlet is running with the story and nothing official from the club.

People need to learn to be a bit more discerning about what they read on the interwebs, even mainstream news sites.

Haha yeah but I was trolling...

This is one of those articles that you really really hope is wrong because -

1) It's a terrible idea and
2) Nobody wants to see Hagdorn get somethinglike this right

Something tells me he may be on the money here though...I feel violently ill.

There's sure as s**t nothing encouraging coming out in the media so far this off season regarding West Coast

Meanwhile, our friends down the road look to be positioning themselves quite nicely to capitalise on their blatant tanking in 2016

Their tanking was hugely entertaining for us so they deserve some reward for it surely.

Perhaps it is our time to tank for 2018.....
