Assistant coaches merry go round
Looks like a lot of Assistant coaches are getting shot over many clubs - see https://www.afl.com.au/news/490854/a...ough-decisions
Any of these we might be interested in? And is it time to move on some of ours?

But yes I would like to see a new voice or two in the assistant coaching ranks.

Dean Solomon is getting huge wraps from former players and has been described as the most 'senior ready'.

And presumably hes lost his job because hes paid more - being the more senior
All of the coaching salaries are likely to to be cut significantly

Seems to be very highly rated and just missed out on the Freo job to Longmuir. He will get a gig somewhere.

Seeing the AFL is the Gold Coast you can see why.

Leon Cameron has signed a further two years.

I think Adelaide are having some discussions with Mark Williams. He would be a great support for Matthew Nicks

Jade Rawlings cut from the senior assistant role at North 12 months into a 3 year deal - what is going on at Arden Street?

By his own brother, no less.

I think that Sedat said the Crows were considering John Worsfold too.

Worsfold the new Neil Craig.

Re: Assistant coaches merry go round
Freo would be ahead in the race for Woosher, particularly with his family still in Perth.

Avoiding Woosher would seem better than adding him if his recent performance is the guide.
Although he is certainly experienced and could explain the learnings from every loss.

It was certainly quite a kick up their arse as he packed his things and made for the exit.

Re: Assistant coaches merry go round
ASSISTANT COACHES IN DEMAND
Collingwood assistant coach Matthew Boyd and Hawthorn lieutenant Adem Yze are in demand.
Suitors have emerged for both Boyd and Yze as clubs make significant changes to their coaching panels.
North Melbourne this week made the shock call to dump a disappointed Jade Rawlings with two year left on his contract.
His brother, Brady, was part of that call as North’s head of football.
Fremantle has had an interest in Boyd due to his close links to former assistant Justin Longmuir, while Essendon has been linked to Yze.

Re: Assistant coaches merry go round
How unassuming is Matthew Boyd?
Goes about it with a minimum of fuss.
I'm not one for getting "bulldog" people back to the club for the sake of it, but I'm certain he would be a positive addition to our coaching ranks.

I'd love to get him back to the club. He's not the most friendly person I have met but I hold him in the highest regard as a strong assistant coach candidate
Unfortunately I don't think we have the room for him

He is the no 1 assistant coach I'd look to.
He'd be the Monty style hard-arse who can deliver a whack when need be, but still demand total respect from the players. He's got Roughy playing very good football, Moore playing career best football (and he's now the AA CHB), Quaynor developing well, etc.
He won't win friends with a warm and fuzzy demena, but that wouldn't be his role anyway.

It could potentially be a little weird coaching players that he played with, particularly in such a senior role.

I think if there's anyone out there capable of doing that, it's Boydy. Just a hard-nosed operator who does what it takes.
I'd love him back at the club. I wonder what his relationship is like with Bevo?

I would imagine it would be fairly common across the league. Montgomery returned as an a assistant only a few years after he retired, for example.

Boydy will be our senior coach at some point. I’m happy for him to get experience outside the club at this stage but yeah agree need to get him back at some point.

I get the feeling it is frosty. But can be warmed up.
Boyd's final season he was in and out of the team and knowing Boyd like we know Boyd he would've wanted to play all 22 games.

Didn't Bucks play with over half of the playing group when he took over?
Voss probably had quite a few ex-teammates as well.
AFL is a bit of a boys club anyway, there aren't too many strangers in the industry - especially someone who played almost 300 games and then spends years as an assistant coach elsewhere.

Voss was actually the exact person I was thinking of when I brought it up.

Re: Assistant coaches merry go round
Not so much assistant coaches but I heard Scott Clayton is going to North.
Past his time I would have thought.

Scott Clayton has been at North since the start of the year.

Does anyone know if he is even in the recruiting space? I think he was in charge of player personnel
Glenn Luff is the list manager and Mark Finnigan was the recruiting manager so I'm not sure the role he plays
With all the cuts has he survived?

He might be hiding in the same room as Tom Campbell.

Player personnel would that be a person who decides who gets traded / delisted ?

We didn't have any issues getting Gia or Dale Morris into coaching roles straight after retirement. I wonder if Boyd and Bevo are too stubborn to work together effectively.

Re: Assistant coaches merry go round
After a cleanout of assistants at North, they have appointed Blakey.
