Neeld's failed relationship with the players is hardly a secret. It was well documented at the time. He is hardly the bloke Id want as Sanderson's right hand man.
Neeld had people undermining him the whole time. I don't think you can fairly judge him based on what happened at Melbourne.

Noble needs to go back to list management.

And definitely yes I think Sando needs another voice in the box.
Not another Geelong or Crows yes man.
The same things keep going wrong, skills aren't improving, game plan looks like its going back to the Craigy days. Why we've gone away from 2012 is a mystery.

Frankly I think Bicks, Clarke and Campo should all move on if we don't make the finals this year.

I reckon Mark Harvey was a pretty decent coach and got stabbed in the back by freo after all his hardwork.

As someone said, he's over in Perth not doing much. Would definitely be targeting him imo.

John Worsfold, what's he doing ?
Always thought that Woosha had not a single clue when it came to tactics. He always seemed to just rely on individual talent, when the talent pool was low the Eagles had a bad year, when their players were fit and firing they were a premiership threat. Always seemed to be happy to just bomb it in long and hope for the best

kind of agree - he has won a premiership however, with Cousins, Judd, Kerr ....

Did you see what he did to Melbournes list? Not to mention all the murmurings about losing players etc. I thought you wanted an assistant that could actually offer some experience and opinion rather than one you had to supervise all day for fear of him making a mess. No thanks, if it came down to Neeld or Noble, Id take Noble.
It was a poisoned chalice; but he made plenty of mistakes. I know a couple of guys on the Melbourne list - most of the younger guys loved him, they weren't the issue. The Collingwood players loved him.

Either way, we aren't talking about giving him the keys to the organisation and being in charge again; we have a role that needs filling and he is credentialled to fill it.

Noble already has a role which we can't afford to neglect.

Spot on, wouldn't even entertain Worsfold personally, and anyhow he can earn more money at his chosen profession 'Pharmacist" than he would get as an "assistant" coach, and to be completely honest he looked completely shot by the end of his tenure at the Weagles. Watters by all reports wasn't the greatest at man management but had a very, very good record as a senior coach in the WAFL and as an assistant at the Pies, would be worth sounding out IMO.

Yep understand all that.

Bails was Senior Coaching Assistant & Strategy & Opposition ?? the fact he was good with the players is a testament to what a good bloke he was and an absolute bonus.

What is needed is an administrator of the coaches and a strategist. Watters got the sack because he went rogue with public comments and the like didnt he ? No idea what he is like strategically.

Mark Harvey is gathering dust like some have said, but I'm not sure what he is like strategically either, but he wouldnt be afraid to tell some home truths I'd imagine. Voss is probably getting paid too much by Foxtel now anyway, but he had no idea for the modern game.

Neale Daniher would be good but I understand he is quite ill as well.

Like this thread! We need a fresh perspective. I think Voss would be a great pickup - legend of the game and took on coaching before he was ready! Bet he knows "a lot" more now. Hirdy might be looking for a job soon??

I would give Neeld a go! he was highly respected at Collingwood. Even though he did terrible at Melbourne he deserves another chance
