Who should we get as our new coach?

[Greystache]

How about Rocket?

He's pretty busy running Collingwood into the ground, I don't think we should interrupt such important work!

[BulldogBelle]

How about Rocket?

Left the cupboard pretty bare of young talent after his (and Clayton) last effort.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

I heard the water boy communicates well when hydrating the players on the field. Good option?

[Murphy'sLore]

I vote for Chris Maple.

[Rocket Science]

As an aside, assuming we'll also be looking for a slew of new assistants.

One wonders how many of the ex-Geelong crew will be retained, or are even inclined to be retained.

Yep, anyone brought in by Macca will walk and the club will be worse off for it.

[Rocket Science]

Indeed, so much for adhering to the 'Geelong model'.

What about Crameri? Wasn't McCartney one of the reasons we nabbed him?

[Sedat]

Judging by PG's gushings maybe Ryan Griffen captain/coach is the logical answer.

PG's gushings simply reinforced his stance yesterday. He was applauded for that approach yesterday in his press release but is condemned now?? The reason for these gushings is to make sure we get significant compensation from GWS for Griffen - people reading too much into what he said in the presser about Griffen's contract. Do we really want to hear him say that Griffen is not welcome back at the club and thus weaken our trading position on him?

I vote for Brendon Bolton.

That stance yesterday had more credibility before we sacked the coach in an attempt to placate him. Yesterday looked like strong leadership, today looked desperate and weak.

Just taking the piss. An analogy for we are back where we started from.

Oh absolutely, our credibility has been fundamentally eroded in the last 24 hours. But the stance is effectively the same - our captain is under contract and is absolutely a required player, so GWS give us your best offer or fail once again to lure anyone of significance to your club.

[Guido]

My preference would be someone like Worsfold (though he's probably close to my most hated ever player ... the things you ignore to get someone you think can win you a premiership).

However unfortunately has said he won't be in the market for a position for another 12 months.

I don't share your confidence ATM.

Yesterday and today are at polar opposites and it wouldn't surprise me if this is all about convincing some players to stay.
