Preview The Coaches.

I look forward to their fans now claiming that not only do they have the best young talent on the field, but the best staff off it.

Friday night football wouldn't exist without North Melbourne!

No excuses for them in 2014 now.

 

[Aphrodite]

It's official ..............

 

[SayWhatAgain]

nvm

 

[Silvagnis]

Friday night football wouldn't exist without North Melbourne and shinboner spirit!

 

[zeeCFC]

They'd have won the grand final if they didn't lose all those games

 

[HARKER]

I'm particularly sorry to see Gavin go as I just had the impression his input/output was quite valued.

I recall standing next to him at a VFL game this year and liked the way he studied what was going on throughout the game.
He didn't lose focus for a second and moved his eye across the whole ground throughout the game.

I know that may come across a little bit "big deal" but you can tell those that are completely focused and that's not always the case with all assistants.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

It's official ..............

I can confirm he has been appointed to a new coaching role at North Melbourne. Coach in charge of close finishes....best of luck Browny!!

 

[No1Suspect]

hopefully we replace him with someone just as adequate, rated very highly!

Would have preferred Green go than Brown... tbh feeling slightly blue about this.

 

[etsal1]

Please be right Tony.

 

[Jeremias]

Please be right Tony.

Has done well coaching at VFL level and would be happy to see him join MM in the box.

If West does come on board as a coach, I wonder if it increases the chances of seeing someone like Ben Brown in Navy Blue in 2014. Certainly can't hurt his chances.

 

[Stamos]

Please be right Tony.

Not sure he's the kind of guy we want

 

[Dramoth]

SOS wont come back.
Get Basset though

SOS will come back, but only if a couple of current board members were to depart...

 

[Dramoth]

Not sure he's the kind of guy we want

I would have him as the inside mid coach...

 

[Stamos]

I would have him as the inside mid coach...

Has he had any success anywhere? Haven't heard anything good about him. Heard some not so good things, though.

 

[HARKER]

You hear good things about West but how would one know?

On face value, he does sound like a good option to take on a midfield coaching role.

 

[Bradschi]

But if West is to take the midfield role option, who is going to be the backline coach?

Bassett please.

 

[simmo97]

you should go after Nathan Bassett who has done a brilliant job turning Norwood into powerhouse team in the SANFL. When he took over Norwood for season 2010 their were a inconsistent middle rank team and after losing his first 4 games in charge his team has produced the following results

2010 24 14-10 2nd- runners-up
2011 23 15-8 3rd- preliminary final
2012 22 20-2 1st- premiers
2013 22 19-3 1st-premiers

also add in the fact every year he has lost 5 to 7 quality players and has been able to find replacements to fit in and play a role in the Structure he wants.

 

[No1Suspect]

Bassett please.

His zone against North in the granny was most impressive indeed, would welcome him with open arms!

Id love west as midfield coach plus itd mean we could move on brad green...

 

[mediumsizered]

I would be surprised if we moved on Green. He is currently part of the development team (Graham, Cachia, Bell, Buckley etc would have been under his charge this year). If West came on board, he would potentially be taking over some of what Wiley does with the midfielders.

 

[smashbox gill]

Everyone needs to stop carrying on about Brad Green, he was a champion player and looks a very intellegent and knowledgeable person. I personaly think he will be a very good assistant for our footy club. I dont kno what everyones vendetta is against him. He hasnt done anything to suggest he wont be good

 

[BM123]

People know that Green is just the development coach right?

 

[BlueJet]

People know that Green is just the development coach right?

Nope, despite this, he's clearly everything that is wrong with our footy club.
