Rumour Fremantle looking to bring in John Worsfold for a role at the club

[MadMundy]

According to The West, Worsfold wants to continue working in footy after his last season with the Bombers this year. Rumour has it that Fremantle are looking to bring him in, whether that be as an assistant or as a head of coaching to mentor Longmuir remains to be seen.

I wanted this to happen last year, is love Worsfold at the club.

 

[Milanista28]

He's perfect as a mentor and not a game day coach, good for Freo and Longmuir for sure.

Poach from who?

Poach from who?

Exactly. He hasn’t got a job for next year at this stage.
I think the Crows would be mad not to atleast enquire either

Would be a fight between multiple clubs. Would put money on freo due to being in wa.

And being an x South Freo player

Sure Longmuir will love him holding his hand...this mentor coaching trend is just rubbish. Just an excuse to get the bloke to the club and make it sound important. Either your the coach or you're not, otherwise stop wasting money.

He's currently FIFO of Perth as his family live there.

He will be working in Perth next season, nowhere else!

Do the Lions have a Director of Football / Coaching?

Because that is really the role being discussed for Worsfold at Freo.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

Richmond have Balmes who is highly regarded.

Most if not all clubs have a senior person overseeing the coaching department.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I'd love him at North. Would he be OK moving to Tasmania?

"Fremantle will discuss Worsfold as a possible mentor and coaching director for first-year coach Justin Longmuir at season’s end"

So no, that is not the role being discussed.

It seemed to work in Adelaide after the death of Phil Walsh.
I believe Woosha/Neeld was an unofficial arrangement.

I'm very pro Woosha, but Freo need to tread carefully imho. See how this year ends up at the Bombers (not simply the ladder position).

It’s all done by Zoom these days anyway, nobody has to leave the house.

Funds permitting, teams are only one step away from hiring mentors to the mentors.

not much point if Freo have a role for him. We'd be no hope.

Gotta wonder how things go if Adelaide had been able to convince Worsfold to stay on instead of ending up with Pyke.

So no, that is not the role being discussed.

Can't you read mate?

I said Director of Football / Coaching. That means either the position is called Director of Football OR Director of Coaching.

I'll give you a hint, if you move the words around > Coaching Director and Director of Coaching they mean the exact same thing.

And mentoring the coaching group is one of the key roles of that position.

Geez.....it's not hard!

Hagdorn was on 6PR this morning and rubbished the claims.

Which means Worsfold is a monty to be in Purple next year

He is an abomination too. Add Caroline Wilson on the list as well

Abomination is fast becoming your favourite word Freomaniac

doesnt go far enough when describing hutchy for mine.

dont follow WA footy media so no experience with hagdorn other than people saying what a gaping a-hole he is!

 

[Farang83150]

I dont mind Caroline Wilson's journalism.

 

[Beerfish]

Freo better be ready for a whole bunch of learnings if this happens.
