Well Im happy with Cameron if true. Would be nice if they can appoint another assistant to help out but i guess we will have to wait and see. Richardson would be a good fit imo.

lol I did suggest that my post regarding Eade was in no way confident and that I didn't take any responsibility lol.

I took your insight as "Ratten is not the lock he is portrayed to be" more than "Eade has the job". Either way you didn't force anyone to make the bet.

Ended up putting $40 on Eade @ 5.5, then saw Cameron at $17 so put $20 on him too- so in a roundabout way I (may) have you to thank ;)

Happy with Cameron.... happy with Eade.

Eade buys us a profile, he buys us experience, the question becomes one of desire and whether that fire still burns, have we seen all his tricks.
Cameron's concern will be the unknowk that comes with any assistant.... but 10 or so years ago Eade was just that himself. But his experience base is there across more than one culture...and hes from outside port.

I think they caned it after they took Eade out and made Ratten fav...then realised they had to bring Eade back in and take Ratten out..ie they got sick of KT messing with them:p

Goshtarnit that's a great idea
With my first lad, I thought it would be funny to teach him to say, "Vargan Gun" with a particular inflection, (think old guy yelling at the footy), but it hasn't turned out to be my brightest moment as a father.

What about Eade? Did he turn in down or did Cam become first pick?

I'd love to know too. If Eade was interested in the job, and assuming he was initially ours and the AFL's first choice, then Cameron's presentation must have absolutely blown the panel away. I'd love to think this is the case.

I'd have been happy with Eade. But to me he seemed more of a "steady the ship" type, which if you swallow the media BS about the state of our list etc, is what we needed. I have a little more faith in the raw quality of our list than that, and Cameron to me represents more of a "steady the ship" and take us into the future type of coach.

Also, as a solid football man, i'm more than happy to back KT's judgement regardless.
