There's this thing called a phone... you can even tweet from them these days!
Heath deserves the opportunity, good pick by Noble imo.
This was my biggest issue with Campo. Was happy to have his day job cause it paid well and he could run his business on the side. Didn't seem to have that desire to ever want to be a senior coach, just seemed like a 9-5 for him.With any of the coaching appointments - assistant coaches, line coaches, development coaches - you want people who have the desire and the ability to go higher.
Some newbie in an entry level role will gun it and help the organisation if they have designs on being a senior coach one day. They will put in the yards, they will think deeply about the game, they will add stuff. They want to move up so they set out to prove they should be moved up.
A plodder in the same role will move the cones when asked, roll out drills they remember their coach doing one day, ride their bike constantly. Good servant but not a go getter. Adds nothing.
David Burtenshaw has been posting on Twitter about a bunch of players when they were drafted and mentioned he thought for sure Andy OttenI still don’t believe having our own reserve side, in this format, is beneficial.

And if not a senior coach, was he gunning to get a similar role at a bigger club? Hawks, Tigers, Eagles..?This was my biggest issue with Campo.

I completely disagree and if you look at the world of politics this so called striving leads to a lot of conflict. I've had some professional dealings with AFC & PAFC and I would say that the last thing the AFC need are the striving go-getters with the arrogance that comes with it.And if not a senior coach, was he gunning to get a similar role at a bigger club?

Or just plugging along, not growing, not developing?
Doc Clarke the same.
Neither of them bad per se, just comfortable where they are. Not striving.
Weren't Alastair Clarkson, Dean Bailey and Phil Walsh assistant coaches at Port when you won your flag?I completely disagree and if you look at the world of politics this so called striving leads to a lot of conflict.

And what you want is people who move the club forward not those that are beholden to their own career agenda or those that want to move to where the grass is greener. That is not to say if someone offers you a bunch of money you shouldn't go.
But I don't think you can put them in the same bracket. Clarkson had gone from taking Centrals top to us, as an assistant and was pretty much always going to be a senior coach and had that as a goal true. Port was a stepping stone to get where he wanted.Weren't Alastair Clarkson, Dean Bailey and Phil Walsh assistant coaches at Port when you won your flag?

They don't need to be in the exact same bracket. All were shrewd football minds destined for bigger things than simply lower level assistants and your club was better for having them.But I don't think you can put them in the same bracket.

In a political sense a lot of those backbenchers are the ones who implement policy, sit on committees and generally are the people who make government tick as opposed to the likes who want to see their faces on the TV every night. And see themselves in the big seat.They don't need to be in the exact same bracket.

It's not uncommon either. Geelong's premiership winning crew included Hinkley, Sanderson, McCartney. Hawthorn through their dynasty at various times had Hardwick, Beveridge, Simpson, Cameron and Fagan on their books.
That doesn't mean they are back stabbers looking out only for numero uno. Just that they bring more to the table than a Doc Clarke for instance who's content where he is.
Your political equivalent would be those career pollies who have no desires on higher office, are content to rack up the years, gather every single entitlement they can garner, are acutely aware of what they need to tick off to get full pensions.
Internally they are probably seen as really loyal and a valued part of the party... they don't rock the boat, don't challenge the leadership, don't disagree with the head honchos. Actually they are absolute poison and prevent any sort of progression. They don't bring any initiatives to the table, provide no dynamic leadership or energy, achieve nothing. Just plod along. Inoffensive, bland nothingness.
A certain level of conflict is good.
I agree though that if you get someone with the desire to move up but without the ability (eg Brett Burton) then they are disastrous to an organisation.PLAYERCARDSTARTBrett Burton
