Nope...I'm far more important.

Not a very professional one if so.

They often aren't.

Just confirming, that despite the misleading Thread title and 92 posts currently, there is actually no confirmation as yet? Except that all footy journalists are fugly?

I keep thinking shagged each time I see this thread title

Make sure you empty the bins, and lock the gates tonight

Can someone please put up the Counter for this one, at the top of the page,

Adam Kelly straight up said that was their focus, hiring coaches with experience developing younger players.

So we are now bringing in coaches from Hawthorn, West Coast & Geelong all with reasonable credentials... so should give us a better understanding of successful programs.

And Bassett. If Port win the flag that will be another.

Well winning a flag or not shouldn't really make a difference on the quality of the coaches.

But we have seen in recent years Port has done extremely well at developing their youth.

Nowhere near enough comments on Nicks in this Photoshop. Absolute gold.

I think Burns has only been at Hawthorn since 2018, so not exactly a successful era for that club. Was at West Coast from 2008 - 2013, then 4 years at Collingwood where I think they failed to play finals, that took him through most of Hawthorn's dominant period, then the past few years at Hawthorn where they've been pretty average. That's not to suggest he's a bad coach, just that the successful periods at those clubs haven't necessarily been during the times that he's been there.

Sorry to butt in, but I don't think you'll find many Hawthorn people sad to see Burns go. He has always been highly rated, but to be honest our midfield hasn't been great under him, especially around stoppages.

Maybe just as well he taking over as the line of defensive coach

That OK we got someone to take care of the Midfield and stoppages,

 

[hey shorty]

Hawthorns midfield personnel has also been pretty weak depth wise in the last 3 years too.

It's lucky for us that he didn't get that essendon list manager job otherwise we would have had to give it to one of our other assistant coaches

 

[StonesThrow]

Who scored the most points? Give it to them.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Very well regarded coach , well done Rahls

Other than maybe the midfield coach I reckon we’ve got a pretty decent bunch

We???

This is a gong from the AFL Coaches Association, not the club awards.

Anyone know when our B&F is held?

 

[Danger in Texas]

First ACOTY win since Craig in ‘03 (which was the first year of the award FWIW)

Great to see him get some recognition. You’d think this might put him in more conversations for promotions

I have never heard his name mentioned when senior coaching jobs open up but it won't be long I guess

 

[Scorpus]

We might lose our best assistant coach

 

[MRB37]

Kinda of annoying he'd leave to go back to Geelong after they let him go, but would also assume we'd then go to Bassett to fill the forward coach role.
