Good on him. Hinkley must be wondering what he has to do to get a gig.

 

[BananaOnTheRun]

does this mean we'll be naming another assistant coach soon?

I hope so. Most of the guys we had last year didn't seem to be quite up to standard.

[leungtl]

A shame to see us miss out on his services, but good on him

WE've had 1 assistant go and we've brought 2 in, so I'd doubt it.

What's happening with Belly? Didn't Ross want him, or did he knock the offer back?

 

[Plugga]

We should approach Dean Laidley as an Assistant

 

[JunglistPosse]

Congrats Smurf!...damn i wish you were comng to Freo instead. Interesting to see who we pick up instead.

Disappointed, we could have done well with him in our coaching team.

Will make a very good coach.

From the West today -


Meanwhile, three-times Doig medallist Peter Bell is no longer believed to be keen on joining his old club Fremantle in a coaching capacity.

Dockers football operations manager Chris Bond confirmed last month that Bell had approached the club as early as July to inquire about coaching.

Bell has not played an active role at Fremantle since his retirement in 2008 after a 286-match AFL career that also included two premierships at North Melbourne.

Fremantle have dumped Mark Harvey in favour of Lyon along with poaching former senior assistant Peter Sumich from West Coast over the past month since Bell's initial approach. Those appointments are understood to have satisfied the former Dockers captain that the club is back on track in its hunt for a flag, removing his principal reason for wanting to return.

Bell is almost certain to continue focusing on his business interests outside of football.

I've known Scotty for close on 30 years... he'll be an excellent coach.

Thanks for that. He obviously wasn't a fan of Harvey's either...

that's right. i don't see him as being as much involved in the box, though.

maybe ross won't need another head in there but i think harvs did.

That last part is the way it is. Sumich is also an Assistant. Not senior Assistant

 

[Nickos66]

Gutted.

Suddenly the Aints might not be so shit next year afterall too.

I really wanted Watters with us.

 

[JunglistPosse]

Realistically who could we target? Is Peter German or Gary Ayres an option, how about Simon McPhee or new blood in Cam Ling?

apparently, they approached or interviewed 11 possible candidates.

 

[wehavethepassion]

Obviously he didn't rate harvey feeling he need to be involved.

Former docker capt, 3 times Doig medal winner and dual prem player thinks club is in good hands with lyon and suma. say no more.

if true therefore logic says you must be a good judge

and I agree with both

 

[Mat Mann]

Word has it that Laidly will join Watters as serior assistant

 

[DOCKER MAN]

I would love for Freo to go after Cameron Ling or Cameron Mooney for assistant coaching roles now Watters is taken.
