Is Simon Garlick capable of hiring someone he didn't play with?

Amusing but surely this a head of footy hire.

I'm sure he was talked about as a leading candidate for some past AFL coaching jobs but didn't get them. Was caretaker coach of Richmond after Wallace was sacked.
I remember him as a player. Ended up as a full forward, but I think he played key position back for a few years.

Yep backline coach confirmed.

I certainly like the addition of broader experience, and if he impressed during the senior coach search even better, I think you need strong voices in amongst the coaching group - it's never just about the head coach.

He has some excellent new toys to play with.
Been through a lot of clubs though? Sacked by North Melbourne in 2020 but they were a basket case under Rhyce Shaw.
Was never at a finals competing club at AFL level. Good 2nds experience though.
Just worried about getting an Anthony Rock 2.0.

Well Kingsley was an assistant to Richardson at the saints for like 8 years , never playing finals and they were about as mediocre as an AFL side can get….
I hear what your saying (tho your example of Anthony rock is quite selective and frankly very poor comparison)but I think a very big underrated experience for assistant coaches /wannabe head coaches is having previous head coach experience (both AFL and obviously SANFL in Rawlings case and in the latter quite successful at that.
I always remember clarko mention it as a big factor for assistant coaches looking to take a step up (shit bloke but his record and that of producing good assistants who went onto be top coaches in their own right was impressive)
Happy enough with this appointment, were always up against it in this space and seems the clubs done about as good as it can .
Guessing (hopefully) Curley announced soon too

Happy enough with it, relieved we went with experience, and as others have said I think the state league head coaching experience is good.

I think Rawlings could be massive for us. For all the talk around lack of experienced applicants for a gig over here, the club must have been pinching themselves when someone with his experience applied.

Excellent appointment for us, given that he nearly got the senior gig last time round.
Feel like his time as a senior coach in the SANFL would have done him a world of good. Maybe after we go back-to-back over the next two years, he can snag the head gig at Tassie with Pearce as assistant.

He has certainly done his research. Mentioned Davies and Murphy and referenced our stability with only a newer president as being one of the few changes off field.

Thought he stumbled his way thru and needed to be more media savvy.
He may just have been nervous but he mumbled his words.
