Dew, Bolton or Bassett for mine.

Not sure we'd go for Burns, who just started with the Pies. Don't know anything about Tudor.

In the end it will be their ability to communicate well with players as well as develop them properly that will be the main criteria IMO. Dew, Bolton and Bassett all fill those well.

Burnsy has been at West Coast for years as an assistant before he came back to the pies :)
Probably as much/if not more experience than Dew et. al.

Gerard Whately's information has him thinking that Bomber Thompson is not in the frame as the media has speculated. Free to apply like the others, but not the 'given' that was general consensus this time last week.

Maybe GAJ is wielding quite a bit of influence in this process and Bomber is not his ideal choice
 
Maybe Bomber thinks both EFC and GCFC wants him as senior coach, but Essendon are sticking with Hird, and we've got a board selected to sort through the candidates. I'm 100% confident we won't hear anything until well after Bomber is back from his holiday anyway, but I still wouldn't rule him out.

I'll come out and say it. I have no idea who Stewie Dew was. When I voted in the poll, I chose him because he was the only name I didn't know, and it sorta giggles out of my mouth. So thats why I voted.

If and When I am proven right, I want the record to show that for the rest of his coaching tenure I am will refer to him as Giggles. #honesty

Scary stuff. Was a very good player who quit too early after a flag at Port to accompany his then girlfriend Teresa Palmer to Hollywood.

Came back much fatter and played a key role in Hawthorns first (and unexpected) 2008 flag. Has good coaching experience, was a very good footballers footballer and is a great bloke.

I would be surprised if Mark Thompson applied and went through the 'process'.

I doubt he would personally get involved, but I'd say his manager would do everything for him until visiting the club eventuated, if it were to get to that. I still hold hope :(

Leigh Tudor is the "new" Ken Hinkley, a senior coach in waiting. Has been really rated and has been around the traps for awhile.
 
Just watched the Gold Coast-melbourne game on foxtel from earlier in the year were we won 11-20. To 11-12
Commentators were saying I've never seen a team so bad in front of goals.. Not hard shots under pressure either.. Just shanking everything...

Hope our new coach looks into this issue we have in front if goals and just clangers in general
Holding onto possession is what we need.

I watched it too, it was a shocking performance, even Lynch and O'Meara were missing the simplest of shots.

I agree that skills training has to be a priority, I hope they follow the Hawthorn model of have them run sprints and them kick so they are fatigued and recreate game conditions

My biggest frustration is the constant handballing from players who have time and space to kick to players standing still or literally standing next to opposition players who then tackle them, it must be some kind of Bluey mantra because they constantly do it and it defies logic - more kicking and less handball

Say again? I don't understand what you mean?

A constant in The Suns play book is to look to handball when there is no need to. So much so that I feel it is the coaches edict to make them handball when they could kick in the open with time and space. To me there are so many times the guys cough up the ball from a play where they are not under direct pressure because they handball to a team mate who IS under pressure - Swallow and Harbrow are two who don't folow this pattern though

I still hear people saying he should've won the Norm Smith.

Personally, I don't think the board's desire for 'finals experience' only encapsulates coaches who have coached a team to premierships. I think it extends to ex-players with finals experience, assistant coaches with finals experience, etc.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the club has really said anything about finals experience being a requirment? It was just mentioned by bluey in his presser?
