Reigning WAFL premiership coach Simon McPhee will coach Sandringham for the next two years.

In a phone hook-up at lunchtime today Sandy's board ratified St Kilda's move to bring McPhee to Melbourne to replace Brett Lovett.

The 42-year-old will also be involved in the Saints' new development academy.

Zebras general manager John Mennie spoke to McPhee earlier today.

"He sounds sensational," Mennie said.

"I think in time he's going to be one of our great coaches. He's very impressive."

Mennie said he expected former West Coast player Jaymie Graham, who has also joined St Kilda's coaching team, to have a match-day role with the Zebras.

"Will the last person to leave the WAFL please turn the light out..."

The West Australians are taking over. If they get Laidley as an assistant it will just about be an all WA coaching panel.

Yer we need to get someone from out of the west need ideas and people from different state leagues. It will make the team more diverse, however if the best coaches are over in there, Get them!

Any news on Laidley??

Football in the WAFL is built around speed speed and more speed.

Our 2 new quicks will get massive opportunities, no worries about that.

extactly since the wafl is built for "speed speed and more speed" we sound recruit a coach from a more defensive league.

another coach which i would have liked to get was the NT Thunder coach Murray Davis, however he has been picked up by Brisbane. he built a premiership side(best in QLD, NSW, ACT and NT) from ground up in 3 years. (also since he has started coaching has had 13 of the players he has been involved with have made an afl list)

But you're not surprised though? Most coaches seem to do that (get guys in that they've dealt with before and trust/respect).

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Damn. Was hoping to get him to the Eagles. Good pick up.

Good luck to McPhee, he's twice the coach that Watters is and that's no knock on Watters.

As well as taking charge of Sandy, Simon McPhee together with Paul Hudson (Devlopment) and Jaymie Graham (Welfare) will take the reins of the new Academy.

Really loving this initiaive, seems to be coming together nicely.

 

[Present Not Past]

Ha, it just keeps getting better and better.

 

[goodie23]

Less worried about away games in WA now

 

[Plugger35]

But you're not surprised though? Most coaches seem to do that (get guys in that they've dealt with before and trust/respect).

Yeah I guess Watters probably has more contacts in WA than anywhere else so it's not surprising he's recruiting coaching staff from there.

 

[Monocle]

Great get by you guys.

I am very disappointed to see Simon leave Claremont , having said that I am not at all surprised as he is an outstanding coach.

He is very strong on player development, talks well and has been well respected by the players.

I wish him all the best.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Tell you what, the vision of Graham breaking his knee is something shocking. The kind of one where your hand goes straight to your mouth and you kinda stop breathing for a few seconds. Nasty, nasty injury...

 

[saintsrfreak]

Yeah, bloody gruesome.

[Persevering Saint]

Ooh, even the still preview pic on that video is just, "Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!!!"

 

[Squizz]

After seeing the Nathan Brown's break and hearing Goose's, I was not going anywhere near this one. But yeah, the picture gives a fair old hint. Ouchy hurty.

 

[VDS66]

I guess it's the best we can ask for without our own reserves team.

Saints unveil new academy
Caroline Wilson
October 29, 2011

ST KILDA coach Scott Watters has unveiled the club's radical new football academy that will see the Saints bolster their notoriously undermanned player development team by 400 per cent and invest unprecedented resources in VFL partner Sandringham.

With Dean Laidley set to join Watters in coming days as part of the Saints' assistant coaching team,

...

With last week's departure of Robert Harvey to Collingwood, Laidley will fill one of the two remaining assistant coaching positions. A new high performance coach will also be appointed over the weekend.

Not sure with Cawo, do i or dont i? She seems to have pretty good thources inthide the club though.

 

[goodie23]

What exactly is a 'high performance coach'? Are clubs interested in any other kind of performance?

 

[maanco]

Well you would hope that the other clubs are into those lower performance coaches

However, i think the 'high performance coach' is the coach that has the main role in planing the training sessions and recovering.
This year we will need someone really good with the 9x 6 day breaks.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Good luck to Simon, he's a lovely bloke

 

[Flyingsaint]

Simon will be on SEN this afternoon- Sun 30th around 4.25pm

now we just need Mdeical? sport science co-ordinator.- But have been pleased to see and read that most of the team are training/ keeping fit over the off season.
