Strategy North Melbourne Coaching Changes 2020 & Beyond

[Thewlis Dish]

Great mix, covering pretty much all facets.

When is selection panel dropping?

Ben B
Ben A
Roos
Arch
Brady
Kangalicious
Terry Coyne (executive recruiter)

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Hawks have appointed Mitchell as their head of player development and VFL coach.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

And if I’m reading it correctly, Roos is just joining the panel and not the club in any coaching capacity?

Althopugh the wording "Roos joins North..." is odd if it's just to sit on a panel. The organisational psychologist isn't said to be "joining" the club, just doing a task.

Bigfooty regular gets a hand in picking new coach! (Yes I know, not these days, but still.)

That’s what I found strange too. A bit of mixed messaging in this one... I guess we will wait and see!

 

[King Corey]

Is it sacrilege that Archer is the one that concerns me?

It may be a case that his role isn't defined until they choose the successful candidate. Ie - if it was someone like Lyon or Choco, then you probably wouldn't be appointing Roos as a director of coaching.

 

[blackshadow]

Hawks have appointed Mitchell as their head of player development and VFL coach.

I'm sure if he was interested and the best candidate for North the Hawks would let him go.

WAFL

Subiaco premiership coach (2014, 2015, 2018)

Schofield's record at Subiaco needs context.

They've been consistently excellent for two decades, Schofield is one of four premiership coaches in that time. They have had certain, ahem, "advantages" in recruiting and are well-known as the richest club in a comp that has lots of struggling teams. So he's walked into a system that is well set-up, plenty of premiership players still running around (even played in a GF under a terrible coach like Chris Waterman) and just had to recover a bit of ground. Not saying he can't coach, it's more that if he were to coach us, the experience of coaching premiership sides will be vastly different to what is required with us right now.

As long as it’s not Rad Roo (Voss) we are fine.

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

The organisational psychologist isn't said to be "joining" the club, just doing a task.

I have heard that both a psychologist and doctor will be running for the board at the next election.

We seem to be very health and welfare focused compared to a Richmond who are stacked with sports administrators (Gale, Speed, Dunne, O'Rourke).

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Althopugh the wording "Roos joins North..." is odd if it's just to sit on a panel. The organisational psychologist isn't said to be "joining" the club, just doing a task.

Exactly what I thought

 

[pitchster]

Roos going to be on the board who chooses our next coach then staying on to assist.

 

[Mav]

Where’s Tef? Has his head exploded with Hood on the panel?

 

[Thewlis Dish]

I have heard that both a psychologist and doctor will be running for the board at the next election.

We seem to be very health and welfare focused compared to a Richmond who are stacked with sports administrators (Gale, Speed, Dunne, O'Rourke).

A huge key to Richmond's success was psychological. Look up Brené Brown.

 

[Shinboner1]

Sam Mitchell off the coaching list.

 

[Rooboy 96]

am I correct in assuming our new coach will be announced tomorrow? or is this something we can do a bit quicker?

 

[scooby1279]

Shove that in ya pipe and smoke it Caro, you scornful, lemon sucking excuse for a journo.

EDIT: Wait for the negative spin to come out of this!!

She will say why wasn't this done prior to getting Shaw?

 

[scooby1279]

Wait what? How so? They just announced the panel... will be 2-3 weeks.

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

No doubt. When you read what Grimes and Hardwick have said about Brene Brown, her works have had a big impact on their club. Looking at Richmond's board of directors though, it is exclusively business leaders and hard edge sports administrators.

 

[big_e]

Give it three or four weeks, I'd say. Anything shorter than that would be taking the piss.

[Hatchy1992]

Very interesting wording about Paul Roos. Does this mean he's accepted a role within the club permanently, or just to help find a new coach?

 

[kool kangas]

Give it three or four weeks, I'd say. Anything shorter than that would be taking the piss.

Mid trade period would be good....
