Mega Thread The Next AFC Coach?

[Bicks]

Interviewing coaches didn't work for us last time

All Leigh Matthews fault??

Hang on, no let's blame Trigg or Chapman...

 

[GROTTO]

Can someone tell me why Bassett cannot be considered? I would have thought he would be a leading candidate?

 

[Tantidar]

Did they say when they will announce it?

Can't be announced until after Sydney's season finishes.

Let's not forget Smart

Dew won a premiership at Port as a player in 04, Hawks as a player in 08, Swans as an assistant coach in 2012. If he is our senior coach....2016 will be a good year if you know what I mean

Could get used to a premiership every 4 years.

Has a job for life if he can jag a flag every four years

Each one has been at a new club though

Each one has been at a new club though

I would take one in the next ten years right now if it was offered.

Bassett - Defense,
Bomber Thompson - strategy, senior Assistant
Rehn - Ruck
Dew - Head Coach
Okeefe - Midfield
Burton - Forward Line

Memberships gonna be $2K in 2015 me thinks

Offer Hinkley $2M a year.

Your playing list doesn't have the heart to handle Hinkley. Ken would lose the players within the first month.

 

[FAITH]

Throw a blanket over Goodwin Bassett dew.
If we want the best surely Clarkson Is the one, we could tempt him away.

 

[hippyhippy]

If dew is our man, he needs to get on the phone to tredre quick smart and lock him in!

 

[Mike Smyth]

Need someone with a 5 year focus.

 

[GROTTO]

Your playing list doesn't have the heart to handle Hinkley. Ken would lose the players within the first month.

So you are within a few days of potentially landing in a grand final and you come here. Pathetic really.

 

[RePete]

idk...Sloane has the heart of 20,000 Labradors alone.

Get Terry Wallace on the line.

 

[WhySoSerious]

Bassett has to be a chance.

Give him the head coach role with a big name senior assistant coach.

He turned Norwood around in 12 months from 8th to a Grand Final and within a kick of the Centrals juggernaut of 2010. In his 4 yrs we finished 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 1st. Bass turned the whole club upside down and had U18s,Reserves and League players playing the same way. In our two premiership years we went 39 wins and 5 losses. Not even Centrals did that.

I know the AFL is a big step up from the SANFL but with quality help Nathan could coach us to a flag in 2 or 3 years.

This. The AFC is in a very vulnerable position at the moment with its players. Sando may have been on his last legs with a lot of the list as reported, but the club hasn't helped in regards to its list management or administration either.

The club is in desperate need of a coach who can connect and unite all of its players, not just the best 22. Anyone who saw Bassett coach at Norwood could see how much his players respected him. He bleeds passion and has the tactical nous to stand up at AFL.

He well and truly stood on his own two feet at Norwood; having not been an assistant for an extended period of time is not a weakness. Be brave Adelaide. If Bass says he's up for it, give him a go.

crows coaches don't last that long.
the natives get restless.

 

[mistylake]

Jesus with Moses as senior assistant.

 

[hippyhippy]

Jesus with Moses as senior assistant.

There can only be 1 messiah, and i don't think the second coming is happening

 

[Niximus]

Need someone with a 5 year focus.

That pretty much concedes that Dangerfield, Walker and Sloane won't be the core of our next flag tilt.

If you do that, we may as well trade them and build for 5 years time.

 

[mistylake]

If you steal Leigh Tudor I'll be angry (but happy for the guy).

Here's his record as an assistant:

Geelong:
'07 - Premiers
'08 - GF

St Kilda:
'09 - GF
'10 - GF

Sydney:
'11 - SF
'12 - Premiers
'13 - PF

North Melbourne:
'14 - PF*

*so far

I imagine he'll be on your shortlist. He's not a particularly good media performer though, that's his main drawback.

If I never hear our coach talk to the media again I will be very happy.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

I think the ROK chats add massive substance to the Dew claims.

I just feel he's the flavour of the month atm like Neeld, Sanderson have been…not actually sure he's the real deal. Maybe, maybe not.

Conversely, i have no doubt Bass can be the real deal…however, there's no denying his inexperience.

Either Bassett with a senior mentor, or the impossible dream of Clarkson with Bassett as his senior understudy would be my preference.

And no I'm not biased,

Yours sincerely,

TheLeftFist8.
