Who should we get as our new coach?

[1eyedog]

So we haven't sat down with him yet?

Seems we are still a while away from deciding.

Yeah strange that he is the front runner yet is still overseas. I think a fair bit of this is media beat up based on industry innuendo. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see the club pull a rabbit out of the hat to be honest.

Re. Ballarat would it just be the promo announcement of the new relationship with Council?

That, captaincy or coach. All 3 would be nice

I think so as well. Beveridge hasn't even presented and interviewed as far as we know so how can he be the front runner.

The players listed to be at the press conference being Murphy, Libba, Wallis, Dahl, Roughy and Clay Smith makes me think it could be captain related.

Its to announce a partnership with Ballarat.....any other news would be a sidetopic

Yep. They'll surely leave the appointment of a captain to the new coach, whilst it is too soon on the coach himself. Smart move by the club to manipulate the media into covering the Ballarat thing en masse - just in case!

2 Weeks

Gordon also indicated that a decision would be made on the new Bulldogs coach within two weeks.

Interesting read from Rohan Connolly on Beveridge and the changes in coaching appointments generally.

So far we haven't heard about guys like Tudor, Burns, Kingsley and whether they have been interviewed or even if they are interested?

Are there any other assistants out there that can take on the role?

[Mofra]

But those who've worked closely with him say Beveridge's greatest assets are in his character. He's seen as a great relationship builder, a good manager who can persuade those under him to toe the line with encouragement rather than a sledgehammer, and he's his own man, not afraid to offer a differing opinion.

Makes for interesting reading given recent events.

Garlick on 3AW yesterday was really stressing the confidentiality of the process and giving nothing away. While this isn't great for fans I imagine the ability to keep information in house would be appreciated by the candidates.

Be a bummer for Beveridge if Monty gets it.

[Axe Man]

Will Monty stick around and work under Beveridge if Luke (or any other candidate) gets the job? Would be a shame to lose him as he is a highly rated assistant and obviously very familiar with the playing group.

Anyone know when Beveridge gets back to Melbourne city? We may have told him to enjoy his holiday and not rush back for an interview, considering the stresses of the job once you take the reins.
