Say it ain't so, Rocket!

Oh well, a job's a job I guess.

before he joined us he was offered that role at Collingwood to work with Mick, but turned it down.

That was a good call.

That was a good call.

From memory both roles were offered pretty much at the same time, so it was an easy decision.

He has said he wants to coach so taking that role after missing out on a plethora senior jobs doesn't look good to me.

He also put in for other jobs in the football management side of things.

Yeah but his first prefernce is to coach. there has been 3 jobs that he has been after and thus far 2 jobs are gone with the 3rd job not looking likely either.

He prefers to be the main coach but will take an alternative role if he can't get the main role. He was offered an Adelaide role over a month ago but has held out. I guess staying in Victoria would be preferable not only for him but his family.

Meh, his time was up as a coach, gotta take whatever's available.

Are these director of coaching role of any real value? Probably not.

Is this an assistant coaching role or similar to what the pies are offering?

FORMER Western Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade will fill the director of coaching role at Collingwood passed up by Michael Malthouse.

Eade, 53, has accepted the Magpies post and the appointment will be announced in the next day or two.

It ends weeks of speculation about his future.

Adelaide had also shown strong interest in Eade as a consultant/assistant to Brenton Sanderson.

It is understood the Brisbane Lions sounded out Eade to work in a senior role with Michael Voss.

St Kilda had also included him on its list of possible coaches and Eade was due to be interviewed by the Saints as soon as tomorrow.

Great role for Rocket.
Not sure as a rookie coach I'd like someone looking over my shoulder, will be fascinating if the Pies took a tumble next year.The GF result is probably good for Bucks, he would have been on a hiding to nothing next season.

Good luck to Rocket, it was always going to be tough to get a head coaching role as everyone wants a new coach ie untried.

Still will be unless they win it.
Cant believe they made him coach when he hasnt been anywhere else and has really only ever been under one coach.
Collingwoods in for a reality check in my opinion.

Is it though? Not knocking rocket but a lot of people have been questioning this new position and whether it has any relevance at all and with Mick not wanting it as it seems he felt the same way. Other than the financial benefit of the position I'm not sure why rocket would want this job.

I must say I am surprised Rocket took this position, I would have thought he'd want a main gig. Is it possible to wish him luck, and the team bad luck?

From what he Eade says he wants to be a senior coach.

With one job left being the St.Kilda one perhaps he thought due to early discussions he wouldn't be a realistic shot to get the main gig.

So second best option was to take the job at Collingwood, this way he gets to experience a very very well resourced club and also still gets to have a match day role.

I know you hate Collingwood, butdo we need to have that sort of language on the site in a title.

Seriously? language? I don't think it's a big deal, but if the powers-that-be wish to change it, they can.
