Strategy What will Sam’s assistant coach team look like?

[Brant]

Well they are so inexperienced they surely would do it for minimum wage

If that’s our prerogative then we can probs grab a bunch of experienced guys from the Sunday league that will do it for beer money.

 

[MortMort]

Roughead & Burgoyne.

I think he should find his own way before introducing another dominant personality like Hodge.

Wouldn't want too many from the same team leading.

smart move

 

[IdiotBox]

Time for a savvy investor to stockpile brooms, cauldrons and eyes of newts.

 

[Qlder_19]

An important cog is a Football ops person that hasn't had any long term interactions with the current playing group
Also an advantage for the assistants as well

 

[Billyc]

What Mitchell will now desperately need is an experienced head, and someone with emotional intelligence (in the Fagan/Williams mould).

Of course with the Clarko payout clogging up the soft cap, we will be lucky to afford John Barker now. Going to be very difficult to properly resource the support cast for a rookie coach.

Haven’t they spread the Clarko payout over two years? What salary is Mitchell on? Surely nothing near Clarko (could be 500k or less). So could be limited net impact. Clarko took a lower salary in his early year so could get right team - Mitchell may need to do same if wants a long term coaching career.

Presume Mitchell would be paid more in 2022 than previously intended if now senior coach.

I’d be starting with bringing Rough back over, keep Newman and Monky, chop the others

Gary Ayres got the sack from Port Melbourne yesterday……………..

Not sure Roughy is doing a great job at the Saints list management wise

What’s his actual role there? It’s not as a forward coach?

 

[Roger Rogerson]

He would be brilliant to have at the club.

The Witches of Elsterwick?

 

[Steven Tyler]

I thought he was list manager?

If I’m wrong, then I apologise to Rough, because it’s clear their list strategy is up sh#t creek without a paddle

Ayres or bring Andy Collins with him from Box Hill

The Mitchell/ Collins combination is working very well at Box Hill

 

[TylerDurden]

I'd keep McRae also.

I think he’s part of the list management team but not the list manager

I’d be sounding out Chocco Williams

Yep. He's priority no.1 for mine

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I don’t believe Andy wants to go full time, which is why he’s liking his current role.

The sort of experienced hand who would be great alongside Sam in my view

Great player and hawks legend. Never cut it as an AFL coach. Let’s look forward not backward.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

why are people so set on just getting premiership players back?

Loved Rough as a player, but not sure he’s done much to be considered for a spot in such a limited footy dept.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

That's crap.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

I think when we look back at Clarkos downfall at Hawthorn it was because he had become the elder statesman at the club with no experienced head above him to sit him on his ass from time to time.

Having Andy Collins is brilliant. If he can't commit to more hours having someone like Ayres in the background as the wise old.head would be amazing.
