Maybe a full time development coach and some more draft scouts would be useful.
It was mentioned in one of the press releases about Allen taking over the football department that our recruiting dept would be bolstered.

Best man for the job or best mate for the job? Club has a long way to go to win back my confidence im afraid
Name a club where at least one assistant coach is not a mate of the Senior Coach?

There is a whole big world out there that do things the same way we do, this is not a new thing that only applies to Collingwood

You'd assume the first, given this is an appointment approved by Allen and not Balme.
Yeah they're mates, but I challenge you to find a better credentialed coach that's available to take an assistant role.

There's a wide world out there alright but we sure have a lot of ex players and mates.

No, the real question is where will he park his car? In Balme's vacated spot?
I hear that Perts spot will be free on occasion now that Clokey is leaving.
 
Yay, it only took 5 years for Bucks to get his man.

Sanderson was supposed to be part of the Buckley-Malthouse handover in 2012, but obviously got the Crows job instead.

Forward coach and ball movement, s**t we are obsessed with ball movement. I would have though a solid game plan, talented players buying into that game plan and natural development of play would take care of ball movement, but hey this ain't the AFL we used to know, everything is over analysed now, so why not.

A good appointment anyway, anyone with senior coaching experience should help Bucks and the other coaches at the club develop.

When you think about it isn't ball movement one important element (the offensive side) of game plan?

Monkey and Wright are performing though. How did you rate our coaching this season and general on field organisation?
I thought there was room for improvement....and it turns out I was right, Grace and Hart gone and Sanderson in.
So if you had a similar view to me, you must be happy
In addition, it appears as if you are not opposed to mates coming into the club, just ones you agree with

If you were going to make any coach the "ball movement" specialist I think in the modern game it would either be the defensive coach or the midfield coach, not the forward coach. Ball movement inside the forward zone isn't as important as getting it in the forward zone the right way I reckon. Because if you get it inside the forward area properly and accurately, the ball movement once forward almost takes care of itself.

I still think Harvey and Sanderson should be swapped here, Sando down back/ball movement and Harvey up forward, but it is what it is so let's see how it goes.
