Prediction Our next coach

[stax on the mull]

Well they won so he has every right to

Yeah, 22 years as President and 1 Premiership is statistically better than 30 years without 1.

If we have already approached Bevo at the end of last season, it
would be a master stroke.
Exactly the same as the Lyon move and guaranteed the Prictorian media would behave the same.
The game against GC showed what a difference a premiership coach can make.
GC finally saw the light and even though the Bullies lost they never
gave up.
I’m sure I’ll hear that JLo beat Bevo, etc, but our home should be a fortress.
When we leave home we don’t even turn up.
Pretty hard to win flags at Optus

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I reckon its going to be Bevo

Reading between the lines they did approach Bevo last season.

Bevo's response to being asked if he will be coaching at the Dogs next year:
"Yes, I do (want to coach on) but I said a couple of weeks ago if you feel like you are outstaying your welcome you absolutely don’t want to stay in that place"

That sounds a bit ominous! The players wanted him gone at the end of 24 if you recall. This sounds like a man with Plan B.

If we are going for experienced coaches I would prioritise Longmire but I still wouldn't mind the club considering Bevo. I just want a decent selection panel with no Freo representation to make the decision.

Could the club be better off bringing in a proven coach as a Director of Coaching or similar? Basically like what I assume Worsfold is currently doing at West Coast.

I could see two potential benefits:

A) Someone at the club who can challenge JL on tactical issues.

B) Someone who high calibre assistant coaches would consider moving here to learn from.

Simmo, for example, is practically staring us in the face as we speak.

Without improving the structure, we are at risk of just rinsing and repeating with a new coach.

Yeah I’ve mentioned this before .

I still want as the out and out first choice (he’d attract at least one top quality assistant anyway)but if that’s not an option then Simpson as coaching director above a newbie would be next best .

Someone from either Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn or an ex assistant from Hardwick s time at Richmond

Also if bevo came across id still like us to look at a top assistant from the aforementioned clubs above .

In Todays day and age of football the strength of your coaching relies almost as much on your entire coaching department as it does head coach.

We’ve been abominable at picking coaches bar Lyon, for once in our retched history can this ****en club look at doing this most important appointment holistically and properly.

I mean actually look at the people who were responsible for appointing the likes of Scott, McRae , Kingsley, Hardwick etc BEFORE we rush off to again appoint our next “gun” coach based simply on their power point presentations!!

I’d imagine it’s pretty ****en pointless getting the same /similar people picking our supposed next great coach if the people picking your next coach don’t even know (or worse think they know) what a next great coach even looks like??

 

[One_Wing]

Not sure about dumping JL but if we must do it reckon Boyd would be decent.

 

[Randomizor]

What time will the board convene tomorrow?

 

[King Tenz]

What time will the board convene tomorrow?

9 AM sharp.

Announcement of his sacking by 9.03 AM is my hope

 

[Aura]

I nominate Ben Hayden as coach and the OP will agree with me. Huskii is King

To be fair, you often hear about how important a football boss was after a team wins a flag.

Neil Balme was talked up massively during his time at Richmond (had been in the position at Geelong when they won).

Chris Fagan at the Hawks.

Does seem to be important to success. Couldn't even tell you who ours is.

Horse Schlongmire overseeing Simpson would be pretty swell.

 

[Superkoops]

Horse Schlongmire overseeing Simpson would be pretty swell.

Simpson has zero interest. He was grilled recently and was very adamant he is not interested. Not sure why his name has been mentioned.

Horse Schlongmire is definitely someone who would be interested in going again with a refresh.

Its coach code. Nobody is publicly interested in another coach's job.

tipping this weekend against GWS could be pretty ugly. May well be the final nail in JL's coffin.

If it gets as ugly as i think, with a large margin (im tipping 10+ goals), surely that would indicate he's lost the players and/or has a game style that simply doesnt work.

Hogan to kick a bigger score than Freo?

Think we'd need to lose by over 100 to even get close to putting the final nail in JLs coffin

 

[freo1]

Possibility given how slow we move the ball. The fast slingshot game GWS play will give Hogan plenty of looks, and i would say he'd towel up Cox. I gather pearce will have to go to him, but Pearce whilst he'll have the speed and reach, may not have the muscle.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I have different opinions on GWS than you guys. Our gameplans are similar in overpossessing, they just have even more talent to do it but Ash and Whitfield are reaching up 20 irrelevant touches a week

They have better chemistry with mid/ forward predictability?

 

[Dayts]

Only if he brings Darcy and the Bont

Best can do is J Johannisen

I’ll tell J. Jonah Jameson

 

[GingerDocker]

They have a key ingredient we don't have, line breaking ability.

I'd love to have someone like Finn Callaghan who can accelerate, run dangerous lines and deliver well over 50m. None of our players are really willing to drive their legs, take some grass and put the opposition on the back foot.

I hold out hope that NOD can be something similar or at least a lite version, but he needs some decent continuity on the ground.

Then again, like a lot of things I think are wrong with us, that voice in the back of my head says it mostly comes down to coaching rather than individual inadequacies.

See that's bullshit. We actually have had a pretty good away record in the years before this season. Media narratives..

We really miss Young and Noddy. Both of them were great at breaking lines when fit. Young with the precision to pick teams apart, and Noddy with his aggressive running forward.

 

[bellie4pm]

Had Chris Scott as an assistant as well

Bring back Neesham as at least we would play an attacking style

Mumbles JLo is going nowhere expect backwards

Interested in how neesham would have gone with our current list! Misunderstood genius in some ways.
