From The Herald-Sun today.

Daniher to join Blues
21 October 2005 Herald Sun
Mike Sheahan

TERRY Daniher is headed to his fourth club on his rocky ride through AFL coaching boxes.

The Essendon champion is expected to be one of two additions to Carlton's coaching panel for 2006.

Daniher, an assistant at St Kilda this year, and Footscray's Brownlow Medal ruckman Gary Dempsey will join the Blues in part-time roles.

Carlton chief executive Michael Malouf said last night discussions with the pair had progressed "pretty well", but could not confirm appointments at this stage.

Daniher spent the past two seasons with the Saints after a similar period at Collingwood. He previously was an assistant at Essendon.

Dempsey has worked as ruck coach at both the Bulldogs and Hawthorn.

While Collingwood and St Kilda both moved Daniher on, he seems a better fit at Carlton under Denis Pagan.

The Blues also went looking specifically for a former key-position player to help develop their various prospective key forwards and defenders.

"We're looking for a key-position player from a successful club who's interested in developing our young players," Malouf said.

Daniher played in attack and defence during his distinguished career at Essendon.

Despite Collingwood's decision to remove him after the 2003 Grand Final, he is credited in some circles with helping develop Chris Tarrant that year, when he finished second in the best-and-fairest.

"We've got a very, very young list; we've got a lot of young key position players we need to develop," Malouf said.

"In our review, we identified we had the least number of coaches in the AFL, and that we also needed to change the mix."

Pagan's assistants this year were Tony Elshaug, Tony Liberatore and Barry Mitchell, all midfielders when they played, with occasional contributions from Wayne Carey, who has crossed to Collingwood.

Mitchell, a former Swans rover, was coach of the forwards.

An announcement is expected as early as today
Bloody hell, he's already been sacked from Essendon, Collingwood and now St.Kilda. What can he possibly offer us ??? I'm not very confident with the coaching setup at the moment, esp if Elshaug and Libba being kept on.

He'll offer us plenty don't worry. A good coach and is a people's person. He gets along very well with younger players as evidenced with his work with guys like Tarrant, Riewoldt and Maguire.

Malthouse was uneasy with Daniher at Collingwood for whatever reason, I think the CFC is very lucky to have him as he played over 300 games as a CHB and CHF. He can now go to work specifically on blokes like Raso, Hartlett, the O'hAilpins, Livingston, Thornton, Bryan, Deluca, Waite and Fisher.

Hopefully we pick up a ruck coach, whispers are Gary Dempsey at this stage - one of the all-time great ruckmen! He would definitely help French, Bryan, Deluca, Batson and the O'hAilpins.

i read the paper too Paddy.

The bloke was a great player but a dudd coach.

You don't get sacked from three clubs as an assistant if you are any good.

was he sacked from essendon or did he leave for further opportunities cause sheedy refuses to step aside?

collingwood needed a scapegoat for their GF non event- what better why than sacking an ex-essendon great

st kilda- also needed a scapegoat for their prelim final disasters. g thomas is a pea brain so he too looks for a scapegoat. didn't the entire coaging staff leave bar thomas and rendell?

i'll reserve my opinion on TD until the season starts, lets give the bloke a go.

has has been at ess, coll & st kilda while they have been relatively successful and playing finals.

TD gets glowing reports everywhere he goes... but keeps getting sacked. Strange that.

I think they're good appointments, if we get Dempsey as well.

Having just said that... I think the game has changed so much recently that it'd be a good idea to get a good, recently retired, footy brain on board in the next year or so.

Not a dud coach. We dont know the full reasons behind his exists from the clubs. He obviously is a decent coach otherwise Pagan wouldn't take him on.

Neither.
He coached our VFL side. When we merged with Bendigo he was offered the job but didn't want to move his family. So he looked elsewhere and ended up at Collingwood.

You could do worse than TD.

Maybe the problem is he was too good at his job..........ie/ stepped on a few toes maybe.

He wasn't sacked from St Kilda, they just didn't renew his contract. Grant Thomas is obviously a control freak judging by how many hats he wears at the Saints. Maybe TD got a little too hands on for Grant's liking.

Reading the paper is about all you do you clown!

How can you say he is a dud coach? From reading the paper and finding out that he coached at 3 other clubs?

He is an absolute champion of the game and if he cant give some advice which the young blokes can take on board than ill eat my own @rse.

Good apointment for Carlton who in the past have had quite a few assistants from their own backyard.

TD sounds like an affable sort of guy,
seems to get along with everyone,
probably why he is always the first to go.
Upbeat, career history,
dumped by a club, went on to captain premierships, All Australian,
great lesson for our guys.

Big Demps at Carlton,
beauty, lots to learn from him.
previous pupils Everitt and Darcy do okay now.

I still cringe remembering Dempsey and Jeff Sarau kneeing the buggery out of each other late 70s, early 90s.

Over 600 games as elite players between them.
Good moves both.

Agree totally. Some people are judging before knowing any of the facts I think!

Has not got the job as yet, only been interviewed. Brett Ratten knocked them back to coach Norwood in EFL 2nd Div, not enough money compared to a 2nd Div club, cant fathom that!

Pressure is on now. Look where the senior teams have finished at the clubs where TD has been a coach:

Ess 99 3rd
Ess 00 1st
Ess 01 2nd
Col 02 2nd
Col 03 2nd
StK 04 3rd
Stk 05 3rd
Car 06 ??

Obvious why he was sacked, only one Flag from 7 consecutive Preliminary Finals!
Could he be a good omen for you guys!

Correct me if i'm wrong (and i'm sure someone will) but didn't Carlton interview Daniher for the position that Libba currently holds at the club?

Not withstanding that, I was actually quite pleased when i read the article in the Hun. Remember reading somewhere that he was given the kudos for Tarrants rise a couple of years ago. Surely this would benefit guys like Waite and Fisher.

Grant Thomas is an absolute ********er, the guy was in charge of hiring and firing at the saints.....sacked two great coaches including Blight, didnt install another coach but installed himself !!! When did he do this, after the saints had been through several seasons of TOP draft picks.........nice timing.He has had THE best team going around (equal to the lions) and STILL couldnt do ********e. The guy is a two time LOSER, absolute flake and will be found out.

Malthouse is ********er....end of story.

Sheedy is an absolute pecker, total tosser. So far up his own @rse its not funny..........cant beleive he has been at Essendon for so long their screwed when he leaves not becuase he is good, but just reliant on him.

SO.......?

Terry's movements are not the issue here. Who wouldnt have left those clubs. Maybe if he had hav left the Lions or someother recent premiership team like the kangaroos ......... oh, hang on a minute theres Deni.....

I know a bloke who has played under TD's coaching. From what I was told TD's a great bloke but in terms of coaching he leaves a lot to be desired. Apparently his coaching addresses consist exclusively of "get in there fellas" and "hit 'em hard" kinda thing and not much else. He's everybody's mate though :)

1. He was sacked. He would have been sacked midseason but Sheedy has too much respect for him and didnt want the controversy. So he told Daniher to stand at the back of the coaches box and keep his mouth shut. He basically had no job apart from carrying the witches hats and the bag of balls at training.

2. Second place is not where you scapegoat coaches. You do that when you finish last.

3. Third place is not where you scapegoat coaches either.

Why was he sacked then? You seem to be in the know. What about his coaching was not up to standard? Why was he persevered with for a couple of seasons with each club if he had such obvious faults. If Sheedy had to tell Daniher to stand at the back of the box and keep his mouth shut and you know all about that, then why the hell were Collingwood next in line to nab him?

Maybe Daniher is a frustrated seniors coach in an assistants role. Maybe he is treading on toes and challenging the way things are done. Maybe our coaching panel could use him after all because they need to be challenged.

Collingwood have made a lot of mistakes over the years, this was just another one. But I heard this from a football person I trust and believe.

Daniher = good bloke = bad coach

Sorry he wasn't sacked, he quit Essendon to look for another club after they wanted him to move his family up to Bendigo to coach them

He was made to stand at the back and shut up though.
