Sometimes the average players make very good coaches...

Well Rodney Eade rates Mitch Hahn, just assuming it was Eade who suggested him.

So at least the club have heard from Eade how good Hahn is.

 

[Zahki]

New ruck coach please.

 

[mattys123]

New ruck coach please.

Yep, that's what we need, in fact is the word "new" even relevant, to my knowledge we didn't even have a specialist ruck coach in 2010.

 

[Burns2008]

New ruck coach please.

i would go for moore, thompson,carl dietrich,or madden

 

[Wooljay]

Strange OP.

Love that Pebbles is the defensive development coach, kinda flies in the face of logic haha.

Sounds Like they are Pretty Much VFL Coaches

Hahn wasn't a great player but he was like Leigh Brown where he got the most out of himself and knew how to play and position himself/work within a structure. If he can communicate well (and I'm sure it was Eade who recommended him) then he could do a great job.

Mitch hahn was shit in AFL, but the only reason he got their was his football smarts.

Dont let his onfield crapiness cloud ur judgement of his coaching

Will Hahn Play for the VFL Team side like he did last season?

I really doubt he would. He could coach in the VFL and develop the younger players but I think it's unlikely he'd play in the VFL side.

Sounds like we are gonna need to find a replacement for Scotty Waters too, Steven J Peake was adamant he's got the scum kilda coaching position....

 

[soreplums]

I think Tapping will be very good. A mate played under him at Old Scotch and the playing group loved him. He was really well respected and related well to the players.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

I am not so sure about Rocca as a development coach. Just doesn't seem articulate or inspiring enough to truly lead the players, though I may be wrong. He seems a bit in the Lockyer mold. Tapping seems the most logical choice of the three and I have never even heard of the guy.

 

[Knightmare]

I wouldn't have Rocca as an assistant coach.

But as a development coach even this year was very good. Worked with the bigs this year and worked hard with them on their 1v1s and doing plenty of wrestling out there.
Seems to have helped Cloke + Reid particularly.
Think in that position in particular can be successful.

Would still want a specialist ruck coach in addition to Rocca if we don't have one already.
Have my eye on Dean Cox for when he retires in 2-3 years time.

It will probably take Buckley a good couple of years to get a coaching group he likes together. Hasn't helped with those quality assistants receiving senior coaching positions in recent years.
