If he is so good how come he hasn't been given another crack at it yet?
Brett said a few years ago he doesn’t want to be a head coach again. I’m sure clubs would have spoken to him about it but he’s turned them down. If the time comes right for Brett I’m sure he’ll get offers.

I missed that. Was there an article?

In an article published in July 2017 he said the complete opposite. I realise circumstances may have changed, hence why I’m interested in your comment.

“It’s come into my thinking this year more so than previous years,” he said.

“It’s more about where the club is and it would have to be the right fit for me to consider it with my family and everything.


”I love coaching and if it never happens, then it never happens. I’m happy to stay involved at whatever level. If those opportunities come I will sit down and have a real think about it and see where it’s at and consider it.”

It would of been fairly soon after Carlton got rid of him. Didn’t want to start the whole coaching process again as it takes up too much time away from family and other things. Was happy to be an assistant.

But yeah things have changed if he’s stating in 2017 that’s he’s interested again
