The Non-Essendon Thread V

[yaco55]

Name 14 Premiership coaches and 'gild the lily', to include Clarkson,Pagan and Williams.

Why don't we only allow potential coaches to be sourced from a pool of premiership players/assistant coaches.

Then make sure their partners are siblings of other premiership players/assistant coaches.

Then we will have a super gene pool of potential coaches.

Reckon that Sumich might have been worth looking at, but for the fact that he's only been at Fremantle a year.

Quite a lot of guys have been taken after a year in a new job - Macca for one. Easy to demonstrate the direct effect your ideas have had I guess.

 

[Kong]

Chris Scott was only at Freo for a year or two, wasn't he?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

In Sumich's case, he's only ever been at West Coast, though.

Scott had obviously had Brisbane, and McCartney had been at Richmond and Geelong.

I dunno how important that is (I'm hoping it's not, given Hird's sheltered existence).

 

[Slattery_20]

You can't *just* go on their record, and you shouldn't *just* go on their interview/presentation either nor only on their personality/leadership etc.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Of course not. You don't take anything in isolation.

Cameron could well buck the trend and fall into the same category as Roos, I'm just saying that premiership experience as either a player, an assistant, or a senior coach at one of the major state leagues (WAFL, SANFL, VFL) should be a must. In my opinion, purely because the weight of numbers says it's not a coincidence.

Some folks meet that criteria but still aren't cut out for a senior gig. From our own club, Shaw, Harvey, and Bailey all fit that bill.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Wow, looks like Collingwood are doing the same as Richmond with the "medals for top 5 in the B&F" horseshit.

I hope to God we never do that. Please please please.

 

[Slattery_20]

Any medal handed out by Richmond is an encouragement award.

Shit just got real.

Cameron met the Giants today to fill the vacancy as senior assistant and ultimate successor to senior coach Kevin Sheedy.​

If Cameron takes this job, Port's dream ticket of a Cameron-Alan Richardson partnership at Alberton will fall apart.​

This will leave the Power to opt for Hawthorn assistant Adam Simpson with Richardson or back pedal to experienced coach Rodney Eade.​

Port had hoped to announce Cameron as coach tomorrow​

WOW!

 

[Summer Nights]

haha, love the trollface pic

 

[Doss]

That Leon Cameron troll face is possibly the best I've seen yet. Better even than Hird's.

 

[yaco55]

Think Cameron needs to back his ability and take the Power position - There is no guarantee that Sheeds will ever relinquish the gig at GWS.

[Lord Nicholson]

There is no guarantee that Sheeds will ever relinquish the gig at GWS.

Yeah, nah.

The senior gig from '14 onwards is there for Cameron, and by jove you'd take it over the PA one.

 

[yaco55]

Yeah, nah.

The senior gig from '14 onwards is there for Cameron, and by jove you'd take it over the PA one.

No guarantees with Sheedy as coach.

 

[Beerfish]

Yeah, nah.

The senior gig from '14 onwards is there for Cameron, and by jove you'd take it over the PA one.

I know which list I'd rather have.. senior coach or not.

 

[Slattery_20]

I reckon Port have a bit to work with, personally. Need to go a bit Melbourne on the older blokes, but that'll happen this year. Some of the kids are bloody good talents.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

The Melbourne route in itself is wrong, but phasing them out is a good way to go. I think Primus was trying to do that, but was probably short-changed by injuries here and there and a greater pressure to produce results.

Nevertheless, the GWS ride to success is a cushy one.

 

[lamaros]

People forget that pretty much half their side was injured through the year. They were pretty competitive early on. Then all their good senior and younger players got injured, some quite badly or repeatedly.

 

[Slattery_20]

That and I don't think Primus could coach, at all.

 

[Kong]

On another note, it's good to see the Carlton tradition of importing Best & Fairest winners, continues.

Pathetic club.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

But Whitnall!

Pathetic club.

I need to update my list, then:

Here's a list of home-grown Carlton champions of the last 30 years:







Peruse at your own convenience.
Enjoy your day.

Fixed.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Team of the century coach was already a premiership coach elsewhere before he went to Carlton.

Say. No. More.

How many other clubs have this wrinkle in their Team of the Century?

None. Not even Norf.
