Opinion Who will be our next head coach?

[Jade Buddha]

Timing is everything. Ratten’s arrival as an assistant would appear to be fortuitous.

If not premeditated...

Seems to be a case of right place, wrong time for Harves unfortunately.

Maybe so. But there's no denying his only realistic shot at the gig was when Richo got the job.
After Ross he was still too inexperienced and this time he will be coming up against Ratten who you would expect would be close to an unbackable favourite and only closing with each win.
All I'm saying is the timing hasn't been kind to Harves.

Agree with these.
If Richo had finished the season before leaving, Harves might have been a realistic chance.
As it is, with Ratts already "bum in seat" he's definitely got the upper hand.

Like so many times in life, timing is everything.

Ratts has had his interview for the job with the sub committee and the board so maybe a decision id not far away

Done deal.

Just need to get those other intrviews out of the way.

 

[pebblesofsand]

News to me - who else have we interviewed?

Has Rob Harvey been interviewed yet and if so how did it go?

Yes you are correct.

Club has done nothing since Richo quit.

They haven't spoken to anyone. Nor have they sounded out managers etc.

The position has been advertised on Seek.

Applications close on the 31st.

All CVs to be submitted by then.

Molly a strong chance.

Ah that's right, you know one of his mates.

Pretty sure it was yesterday.

Also pretty sure that Lade put his hand up. Not sure if interviewed or the club just said thanks but no thanks.

Tuesday and Wednesday night to be precise

Cmon saints, complete the trifecta. Ratts deserves another shot.

If you happen to be out at Tullamarine on Sunday morning keep an eye out - apparently a Port Adelaide assistant coach isn't traveling home with the team - has some important meeting in Melbourne on Monday morning.

And if what I hear is correct, if you hang around Tulla till Monday around lunchtime, its a fair chance you'll see someone from Sydney turn up.

Busy day on Monday.

Does the prospect of Brad Scott not getting a role with anyone after all this make anyone else happy?

Are those meetings cancelled if Essendon win on Saturday night?

Yep if you hang around Qantas domestic terminal long enough, I'm sure you'll see thousands of people from Sydney turn up...


Blaky or Stevie J?

St.Kilda should unveil Ratts in front of Carlton faithful this weekend. Roll out the red carpet and all.

Don't know about anyone else but I'm praying for a draw between Freo and the Dons so that RTB and Woosha still have jobs on Monday

and if we lose by 10 goals?

Awkward...

I don’t ever wish unemployment on anyone, I just don’t want to be his employer.

In contrast though, looks like Richo will definitely have a job somewhere which I’m very happy about.

Not even as director of coaching?

Excuse the ignorance but what does a DofC actually do?

Leonard Hayes?

 

[VDS66]

Leonard Hayes?

Oh, I forgot about that other team lol.

Unless it's a senior gig I can't see him moving. If he wants an assistant role, he will come home to us.

 

[VDS66]

Excuse the ignorance but what does a DofC actually do?

He directs the coaches?

Nah he oversees the entire coaching department.
