phil walsh?!? but CE78 said the coach would be coaching in the GF?!?

you know, im starting to think that maybe he wasn't being completely honest with us.

 

[Macca19]

Walsh and Williams aren't what you'd call the best of mates from what I hear.

They had a falling out over something petty and he relegated Walsh from one of the best match day assistants in the league to out of the coaches box and into a forward opposition scouting role, which is why he left. He didnt want to leave Port but felt he couldnt work with Williams any more.

I still think coaching is pretty straight forward and old school. Its all about respect and you look at the premiership coaches over the last 10 years and they pretty much all look like they'd throw you down a set of stairs if you talked back to them. Its why others like Hinkley, Lyon, Eade have had teams that play for them as well. Its also why the 'ill be your best buddy, you can tell me anything' guys like Sando, Watters, McCartney, Primus, Voss, McKenna are more suited to assistant/development roles. If Walsh does get it, you will have a coach that the players will want to play for and will thrive under imo.

Im hearing he may not have been offered the senior coaches role, but a DOC/SA role, if thats the case, I dont think Port would stand in his way either.

The one thing I am wondering (hoping perhaps more accurately) is that we're wanting to announce the full set up at the same time.

Coach, senior assistant, list manager, any assistant coach changes. Rather than drip feed info that only shows part of the picture.

Me too there has been a lot of talk from the club about getting the coaching panel right. I expect they will unveil the new look team next week (maybe).

 

[Crouch#44]

Do we need to notify the AFL is we decide to pay out assistant coach contracts?
Is there a time with this process?

 

[JimmyTheScoop]

I heard that the list manager will be named after the draft to allow him to sort out players contracts in his current role (if it is Justin Reid as is being rumoured). Has anyone heard any different? And to keep it relevant... Does anyone know who are next coach will be?

Apologies for my ignorance.

Can Walsh be a senior assistant & Dew be coach or vice versa or are they both only able to break their contracts if they're senior coach ?

Pretty sure Port did that with Hinkley. Richardson and Burgess unveiled at same presser.

Thanks Macca19 . Always respect your opinion. Walsh would be a good fit for Adelaide either as DOC or as head coach. Could possibly see Dew as HC and Walsh as his mentor. What do you think?

 

[footy4ever]

I've already seen posted that we're just a bunch of maggots who are stealing him just because we want to screw over Port.

You'd think they'd be happy that a long time coach of theirs might be finally getting a senior gig, but apparently not.

Would getting walshy be upsetting for the PAP fans?


Go Walshy you good thing!!

 

[Elite Crow]

I still think we are on track trade wise, big things will happen in the trade period.

Despite Noble saying we won't be big players?

 

[Thinker]

Happy for Bicks to replace Younie

Absolutely no way. Younie has a teaching background, good communicator for young squad. Bickley is a knob.

 

[beartoo]

Walsh maybe....Left field, maybe Bass hasn't been asked to present a 2nd time because the 1st was good enough?
Rucci in the rag this morning reckons Bass didn't get the job because he won his premierships at Norwood with a defensive game and the Crows have to appoint a coach that will have an entertaining game style so that the 19th man can be appeased.
Crikey, the BS that man prints!
Incidentally, he has an alter ego on the 'tiser blogs called 'Kym'. Get over there and have a go at him. He slags off the Crows after every article Rucci vomits into that online paper.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

I rate Walsh and would be sad to lose him at Port, but you cannot deny the guy an opportunity to be a senior coach should that be his wish. Should it be for a DOC role as Macca19 has suggested, I think I would be less inclined to be happy with it, but again, it’s a promotion in essence. You know Kenny wont stand in his way.

I think you could do a lot worse than Phil Walsh. He is a well respected strategist and commands respect from his players.

Perhaps a Walsh, Dew combo or even Matty Nicks.

I hope not, but I think they could do a good job with your club… I guess we now just wait and see.

 

[Crouch#44]

Perhaps I'm told wrong!
But most people don't show their cards, this season is the first season we have assets and chips to play with! Look what we did with nothing

 

[Freddy Bassett]

Matt Nicks is a total prick...

 

[footy4ever]

Our next head coach is intuitively obvious
………...It's Clarkson or we’re completely and utterly screwed...

Hmmmm. I think the Clarkson horse bolted a long time ago. There's not a lasso in the world long enough to bring it back.

 

[MRB37]

Yeah, the got their man stuff doesn't make sense if we're still conducting interviews

They can still have "gotten their man" but have been cautious enough to go and test drive some other coaches too just in case. Don't mean to sound disrespectful, but I don't think Walsh had people knocking down his door for a senior gig unlike guys like Dew, Bassett and Bolton have/will have coming up, so maybe they felt comfortable enough to go "Walshy looks to be the man, but let's be sure"

So they didn't go off and buy the first car they saw on the lot. They just traveled around to see if they could find something better first and then came back to Walsh knowing for sure it was the right decision (if they do hire him).

 

[Red mist]

We may as well add Ned Ryerson to the poll...

Thanks for your well considered opinion. A Walsh, Dew combo may well be on the cards. My avatar says "By the beard of Zuess!!" You want to offload Nicks as well? Nah

 

[Freddy Bassett]

Walsh as director of coaching does sound like a great get with Dew as senior coach..

The targeting of Walsh sounds very much Stewart inspired to me.. I'm hoping Stewart is having a big say because I know how close he is with Rendell

I'd like that - no drip feeding PR spin crap.

 

[footy4ever]

Sorry did you win the flag this season? Must have missed that.

Why yes I believe they did! That makes it back to back doesn't it?

 

[Hodgy]

I would be surprised if most of the current panel remains

I would like Dasher to stay, ROK would be a good get, Lade is another I would target and if it is Walsh he would need to chose his own right hand man

I agree. If you take a coaches primary role to get players to improve on previous years output or even better have a career year then it makes compulsive reading.

Mackay - Improved on last few years.
Jaensch - Massive improvement, career year
Talia - Massive improvement, career year
Smith - Massive improvement, career year
Luke Brown - Improved, best year to date
Hartigan - Showed definite potential

Rest of team - Sauce improvement, rest backwards or tread water

I think Clark and Dasher should definitely stay if the new coach likes them but I would love to see the rest refreshed.
Bicks to the SANFL coaching role just feels right somehow.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Absolutely no way. Younie has a teaching background, good communicator for young squad. Bickley is a knob.

Wow being a teacher seems to be a pre-requisite to be a CEO and a Coach

Our sanfl team played with absolutely no spirit this year, I don't give a toss if Younie is a teacher he can't coach

Trust me I've met plenty of teachers who are shite communicators
