Opinion Speculation over - Eade Coach

[Matchu]

Theory - Bomber and the Suns are still in the negotiation process and that is what is dragging the review out. If Bomber commits in the next few days then Bluey gets the sack. If he doesn't commit then they stick with Bluey for another 12 months.

Could be wrong but I think it's plausible at this point.

Probably on the money. Might also throw John Worsfold's name in too.

If Bluey stays beyond this year, we're looking at multiple key players that we've spent a heap of time developing, walking from the club. I'm not talking fringe players, either.

With that in mind, I'm 99% sure that Bluey will be gone and absolutely staggered if he was kept on. It's not a matter of his Coaching abilities unfortunately, or he'd be kept on. As darkwingduck mentioned, he's improved every year. It's just that he has well and truly lost a lot of players, both young and old. That's why he will be moved on. If Bomber isn't available, we'll probably move onto the others available. Bolton, Dew or Bassett.

Interesting. If he really has lost a decent amount of the playing group then he has to be removed. Disharmony in the locker room is definitely something you want to avoid because it can lead to an exodus. The unrest had to do with him ripping into Harbrow after one of their losses, right?

Lots of different things, Matchu. That being one of them, yes.

Not to mention anyone else who could be potentially want a move to the SUNS if they settled down.

Any player worth a dime would not want to move to a club without a coach. No coach = no direction.

 

[holybishop]

+1.

Dragging it on doesn't sit well with me. I hope they don't screw this up.

What's the shortest turn around for a new Coach to be announced after the old one was sacked in the AFL? Anyone know? As far as I know it normally takes a week at least.

Lyon was announced the very next morning after Harvey's sacking as Fremantle coach. That's as unusual as you get.

 

[PREETY_FLY]

Need it done asap, trade week looming

 

[TheSunGod]

If Bluey is gone and we get Bomber, just imagine Bomber and a Blighty working in unison. Two mad professors LOL who needs drugs!

 

[GC2015]

Regret to inform everyone here that Mckenna is indeed going to get the sack. I'm not hearing the Mark Thompson rumours as loud as those to do with Mckenna but we can only hope we have him in the bag!

 

[Ethicz]

Have to make a call today or they are seriously botching this.

 

[Iva Bigun]

No Managing Director, no coach, a captain holding off re-signing, trade week looming, player unrest, heck what has happened to our club

 

[Ben Drever]

The Gold Coast Starting to sound like the melbourne football club

I know it will never ever happen, but I'd love to hear the details...

Harbrow?
Dixon slap from VFL days?

 

[Dammit]

Hearing Lynch as well, but surely not??

I would pack Guys bags if this was the case

Lynch was not one.

It matters not anyway now. Bluey is gone and the issue is resolved.

If Bluey wasn't his best mate, Worsfold would want the job now. Knocked back Adelaide and said he'd wait 12 months to coach again which is coincidentally Bluey's remaining contract length!

"I have got a massive interest in coaching ... but in terms of me stepping back into the main job, that is not on the cards, definitely not for the next 12 months," Worsfold told SEN radio.

 

[Dammit]

Not overly happy about this. I'll go in to more detail later, but it's really not the players position to decide who they want coaching them.

Don't be surprised if Worsfold ends up with the gig.

That's what I'm hearing.

Considering what was said last night, I'm seriously thinking Bomber is back as favourite. But I wouldn't put it past them getting Ratten or possibly Sanderson.

Fairly certain it won't be Sanderson or Ratten.
