Mega Thread The Next AFC Coach?

[Bay62]

Did you hear Rucci last week on Sando?

Someone asked him direct "Did you see it coming?"

EVERY other journo in the country has just owned up and said "nup, never saw that one coming" and preserved their credibility by doing so

Rucci pauses and then says "Well after the (Melbourne I think) game I was starting to have doubts.."

Yeah right

 

[Slippery Pete]

He's like Elaine's boyfriend who was so eager to please he took the Seinfeld parents on a trip to the museum

The close-talker.

 

[Slippery Pete]

What happened to that bloke who was posting here the other day who supposedly had intel and said the coach was coming from one of the two Grand Final sides? 1978 something or other was his name.

 

[GROTTO]

The best of the best as stated by the club. Bass ain't that

Other than Dew, I cant see anyone else that could snag it where we get excited.

Bolton - on 5AA - claims no communication with AFC.

I admit this is superficial, but he sent me to sleep... zzzz....

 

[The Karma Bus]

Rucci trying to squeeze out of Bolton if he's in for the AFC job..
Bolton thinking: I've heard of this guy, do I have to deal with him all the time if I head over there?

Often posters seem to go on holidays with no internet access when their rumour is about to come to fruition

 

[40porpoise]

Rucci: has there been an approach?

Bolton: ohh like I said I'm just concentrating on the next couple of days. I wouldn't have thought there would've been too much discussion coming into a grand final.

Didn't rule it out by any means

 

[40porpoise]

Also, is it just me or is Rucci extremely awkward doing interviews? Takes extremely long pauses etc. so the other guy doesn't know when to start talking

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Bassett and ROK would be two strong and determined characters

From memory J Cotton was an Asst to Bass at Norwood, how many Asst did Bass have at Norwood and did he manage his Asst Coaches?

croweater78 is his name. Conspicuous by his absence since Thursday night Clarko on footy show hosing down rumours. He probably chime back in when speculation heats up again, no doubt.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Bolton also spoke about the need for doing a long varied apprenticeship, could even be in the running for one of the assistant roles to further develop at another club before jumping into senior coaching down the track..

 

[GROTTO]

I admit this is superficial, but he sent me to sleep... zzzz....

Sando would have made an excellent 2nd car salesman.

I wont someone who is tough and strong (with their communication style) with experience and the ability to implement a game plan for our team that is specific to our skill set.

As I said, it will only be either Dew or Bassett and for me, Dew wins it.

McLeod was one.

Has McLeod ever been involved at a club and that club hasn't won a premiership?

Midas touch.

 

[pjcrows]

Is Bolton Rucci's tip?

He didn't go that far.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

I would be happy with

Bassett - Senior Coach
Sumich - Senior Asst
ROK - Midfield
Bolton - Forward
Dasher - Defence

All have premiership experience

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I wonder if they already have their man and are now linning up assistant coaches or a senior assisant coach.

Or they have nether?

We currentilly still have 4 (Campo, bickley, clarke and Milburn) on the pay roll, so I doubt we are looking at getting new assistant line managers. We need more hiring and firing going on and then getting ready for trade week.

Hopefully this is not drsagged out for another week or 2.

Bassett is my tip but it could be anyone.

We surely must be looking at getting in New assistants. What other club keeps virtually all assistants bar 1 for 3 senior coaches? Afc badly needs fresh ideas...

That's a nice blend from a variety of successful teams.

I agree but I wonder why they didn't fire them at the same time as Sando departure?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I agree but I wonder why they didn't fire them at the same time as Sando departure?

Because it's not normally done til senior coach is in place.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

IMO if you can't get an experience coach you build a experience team

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Because it's not normally done til senior coach is in place.

So, there is no guarantee they will be replaced.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So, there is no guarantee they will be replaced.

I would be surprised if more than half of them survive.

If they all survive then I would have great concerns about our senior coaching appointment!

 

[pjcrows]

Can you "force" a brand new senior coach and brand new senior assistant together? They'd need an already established relationship, rapport etc.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I had a dream last night that the crows appointed Bickley.

That's called a nightmare... Unless you're referring to the sanfl...
