Opinion Who will be our next head coach?

[George]

I agree mate. It's the only thing I find palatable right now.

The list of assistants available is seriously unappealing.

Lenny might even get Ross back under him. Get the band back together hahahaha.

One things for certain we'd sell memberships like hot cakes with Lenny back.

Yeah...Lenny isn't quite ready now so the three year thing makes some sense. I think a lot of people are worried about Scott. We know what we're going to get. I think the supporters are tired of treading water. We need to be really brave with our next decision here. Either make it a huge mistake or a massive win. Our next appointment needs to change the direction of the football club forever. Either we appoint a Watters and know he isn't the guy after two seasons (no harm no foul IMO) or we end up with the next Clarkson. A real game changer. I want us to throw up that hail mary this time and see if it works.

If we’re not playing finals in 3yrs time it’s over.. the next coach has to get us there, period.

What, no two year extension?

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Has it occured to anyone that maybe Scott won't be a candidate?

I think he's a kid.

Lucky I didn't post what I was about to...

Couldn't agree more.

I'm really hoping we finally nail this one. Like we did on the lyon appointment which was a shock to everyone.

I think if we held the club to a higher standard we'd be closer to a flag. Success would breed succeess, 80000 members all if a sudden

Utter rot.

The members hold the club to as high a standard as we can. At the end of the day we have very little influence other than whether we pay up each year.

Anyone who sprouts rubbish about supporters ‘accepting mediocrity’ is a bonafide nuffie.

You are way off.

First off, Clarko is a very hard task master. He held Ratten in the highest regard. He backed him for a head coach role and said he is ready.

Secondly, we can dream - but we won’t land a Clarko. I don’t think Beveridge is big on sentiment either. Unless something major goes wrong in 6 weeks between these coaches and their football clubs. We can rule both these two out.

Your left with the untried stkilda champions - Harves and Hayes. Both a no for me.

Bassatt, Caracalla, Mitchell, Teague, Shaw etc. none get me excited.

Leaves us with tried and Tested in Brendan McCartney Brad Scott, Christ I’ll throw in Mark Neeld aswell.

I’d take Scott out of all 3. But I’m not a fan.

For me Ratten has the chip on his shoulder and the runs on the board at a modern power house. He should never have been sacked at that time at Carlton. For me, wins and losses mean nothing in the next 6 weeks. Christ he can lose all 6. Just give me effort and pride in the jumper for 120 minutes week in and out. Atleast I can say I saw that when I went to the footy. I’m sick of 30/60/90 minutes of football.

Well said.

A bit why I'm on the Sam Mitchell wagon. And I actually am a fan listening to him speak and his c.v both playing and coaching.

He's a genius and we get him for a long time which means great success for us and/or we spoil him for the Hawks....win win

 

[Mowman]

I don't like it, a mechanic's car is never serviced, don't get the recruitment guy in.

Should see my lawn

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Well,that's my point,their have been those on here who have mentioned that they will not take out a membership if scott gets the nod,what a ridiculous call,they certaintly don't understand the club's motto,they find there own agenda's more important

No they are sick of bog average appointments & are scared the next appointment will be made via a sham process.

They’re passionate, loyal supporters who are as frustrated as any of us.

Their only agenda is seeing the club finally succeed.

Can anyone please explain why they don't think Robert Harvey would be a good choice?

 

[Premium]

I would be certain they know who is going to take the job and have known for a while.
The media love this stuff , now it will give them weeks to write crap about who could be coach

As I said. Coaches on our coaching staff believe it’s B Scott.

 

[St Neil]

Please no proven failures. Forget about Scott, Ratten and Voss etc.

I really want a Harvey or a Hayes for sentimental reasons but another untried option I'd really like to see would be Nathan Basset.

Justin Longmuir and Matthew Nicks are also worth talking to. Longmuir in particular is very highly rated.

Sam Mitchell is the dream candidate if he was available.

I think I'm a nuffie. Dammit

 

[Sully111]

Out of the untried lot, Sam Mitchell is the one i'd be most happy with. One of the best footy IQ's to play the game. I also think he'd be hot on disposal, given he was one of the most elite field kicks i've seen. I know that's no guarantee of success, but my gut tells me he could be a hell of a coach.

I'm still in the Ratten camp, but if they didn't go that way and chose Mitchell, i'd still be pretty happy.

 

[Groater]

Oh yeah, just remembered why I have a deep seated dislike of Brad Scott - broke Lenny's wrist when he slung him into a fence at the Gabba. Don't think I'll ever warm up to him if he's appointed.

 

[Jughead77]

I don’t want ratten but’s couple of the reasons for not having him are more than weird.

Ear on the left appears longer and slimmer than It's counterpart. Clear signs of an unbalanced individual. Do not want!

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Shaw odds on for you blokes?

Should be. Though I still rate him as untried irrespective of the honeymoon period enjoyed recently.

 

[triggering bro]

Interesting Gary Lyon has predicted & recommended Justin Longmuir as Saints coach.

Justin Longmuir - collingwoodfc.com.au

m.collingwoodfc.com.au

Playing career: Fremantle 1999-2007 (139 games, 166 goals)

Coaching career: Fremantle (2010) - development coach; West Coast (2011) - development coach; West Coast (2012-16) - forwards coach; West Coast (2017) senior assistant coach; Collingwood (2018) defensive and backline coach)

 

[Saintbloke]

The best choice is the coach who brings us success, it is not predictable and we'll know in hindsight.

Him or Caracella should be our main targets
