Who's our Coach for 2014?

[iBeng]

Frank was my dads name.

...but carry on, just saying is all

Well that's frankly quite interesting.

My dad died 3wks ago.

Oh god im sorry MacMum that didn't even register as a possibility in my head when I posted that...

 

[MacMum]

Thanks, but please don't worry over it...just me being a bit of a silly old moo!

 

[Viceregal]

Well that's frankly quite interesting.

But are you earnest about that?

 

[Madkeenlions]

No chance now that fellow Ranga Todd Banfield will be delisted, probably end up co captain with Greeny.
Bit like the Greys race on Cup day we could start recruiting for a team of carrot tops.
Who's on the target list then?

I dont think I really read it the right way the first time, I just wanted a way to say "Frankly".

It's time for the members to stand up and show some voice. We need a collective gathering outside the GABBA we also need to make it known our collective membership money is also on the line AFL. Without our membership the afl will have to tip in more money. Time for us to collectively hold Andrew to ransom.

... to do what?

Apologies wrong thread. Concept is send him a message to get out of the way and let they members have what they want.

Thought I heard on The Footy Show Barrett say that the Lions have offered the senior assistants position to Peter Schwabthe, and that Essondon have offered Harvey the senior position for next year.

Yep, the Peter Schwabb thing seems very odd considering he hasn't coached for a while

Sounds like a bit of a Wayne Brittain under Voss situation.

Hopefully it ends better this time.

Yeah Brittain has an axe to grind and he doesn't mind getting it out every now and then.

I thought I heard that Thompson has changed his mind and may go ahead and coach next year?

 

[lukiuslion]

let the schwabb panic begin.

 

[dlanod]

Ugh. Schwab was at a GWS panel with SOS and a few others. What I took away was that he was very out of touch with the current AFL rules and world.

More often than not, a newly appointed senior coach brings a few trusted deputies. Any potential candidates mentioned?

I imagine there will be a 'senior' assistant helping Leppa, as that seems to be the trend at the moment.

There will no doubt be a few ex-lions players names thrown about. However, I feel we need some fresh eyes and different approaches. Assembling a good group of assistant coaches is just as important as getting the right senior coach.

Chris Johnson and Peter Schwab are in the mix, don't know who else

 

[Always a Lion]

Jude Bolton might be worthwhile approaching.

 

[SizeMatters]

Not too keen on either of those. Would rather someone who has had recent coaching...

 

[Viceregal]

Is there a job description for a senior assistant - by which I mean what is their role or is it variable from club to club?

 

[Morgs_]

Jude Bolton might be worthwhile approaching.

Jude is going into player management now that he's retired.

I've got a feeling Blackie will retire and become a midfield mentor role.

 

[Lion for Life]

I had been a huge fan of this guy for years and years....until about 2yrs ago when I found out he's been having a long running affair with his step granddaughter...

Just like to point out that both Freeman and his step granddaughter have vehemently denied all claims made about this, labelling it tabloid rubbish and that it was extremely hurtful to them and their family.

It's on the internet. It must be true! ...right?
