For those wanting to sack dimma, best to remember two new rules.
Firstly, we cannot poach any assistant coach to replace dimma until AFTER their current club is finished for the season. I don't know if this applies to VFL/SANFL/WAFL options.
Secondly, Striker475 already laid this out on the main, so this is a cut and paste of our options under the new accreditation rule:
As of 2015, the AFL now requires coaches to hold a Level 4 Senior Coach accreditation in order to become a senior AFL coach. All coaches who have been a senior coach prior to 2015 automatically gain level 4 experience.
I'll try and leave the completely ludicrous options (say, Damien Drum) off this list.
Level 4 Accreditation, never held a senior position:
Stuart Dew (Sydney)
John Barker (Carlton)
Simon Goodwin (Melbourne; appointed Melbourne coach from 2017)
Blake Caracella (Geelong)
Robert Harvey (Collingwood)
Adam Kingsley (St Kilda)
Simon Lloyd (Geelong)
Matthew Nicks (Port Adelaide)
Peter Sumich (Fremantle)
Brett Montgomery (Western Bulldogs)
Jade Rawlings (Melbourne)
Justin Longmuir (West Coast)
Previous AFL coaches (still involved in the game as a coach)
Michael Voss
Brett Ratten
Mark Neeld
Brenton Sanderson
Matthew Primus
Mark Harvey
Mark Williams
Guy McKenna
Gary Ayres
Brendan McCartney
Neil Craig
Other options
Paul Roos
Mark Thompson
Mick Malthouse
James Hird
Scott Watters
Based upon this, any talk beyond this list is wasted. Also if we do sack dimma mid season it means we will be stuck with Lade as our senior coach for the balance
