Ruck Coach

[Tulip]

Do we have one?

Club site doesn't list one.

Wasn't it Robbie Campbell a cpl years back ? I feel as if jamar is probably a player/coach

Dean Cox wants to coach after he retires. Happy to move young family to a Melbourne club to get a new perspective. Will be in demand.





Just saw this tweet. Coincidence? I'd throw big bucks at him

Surprising, doesn't he own a restaurant? Thought footy was basically a hobby for him at this point.

Should come to the club and take on a role as a playing coach.

/end fantasy.

If that is true we should go for him hard. Would be excellent for Gawn and may even make a player out of Spencer.

Oh wow, I forgot we had Robbie Campbell on our rookie list.

Didn't John Meesen even masquerade as a ruck coach for a bit? What a joke.

Yeh some no-name tall bloke, who applies little to know body contact when practicing with Jamar pre-game.

Kinda horrible to see that we don't have anyone in that role now within our coaching staff - we certainly need a decent ruck coach, looking at our present situation in that department. And again, we should be chasing ex-players who were at the top echelon of the game, preferably with Premiership experience. Aside from Dean Cox, and Robbie Campbell, Primus would be a great option, also Matthew Clarke or Brendon Lade.

Far as I know, we didn't keep Campbell on in any role of this kind, which seems remarkably silly, since, as MM pointed out, we already had him at the club as a rookie in 2011. At his prime, Campbell was the best in the league in hitout % to advantage!

Be ideal if there was somehow a way to get Jeff White back to the club and have him in that job though, of course. Currently, like Primus, he's an assistant at Franchise One
