    Re: Coaches locked in for 2020

    As a mater of interest, what are the salary ranges for AFL coaches, assistant coaches and support staff?

    The big clubs will find a work around. Their extra coaches will be employed by their sponsors and work at the club as unpaid interns.

    I don't think it's as easy as that. Isn't more about how many people 'can' be at the club and the training facility?

    Seriously? I think this whole pandemic thing and the associated budget cuts are more to do with it.

    Not sure but I remember when we lost an assistant under Rocket, he said we couldn't match the offer and he was going for $120k, but that was 10 years ago

    This was an ideal opportunity to refresh our Assistant coaching group by including one of our greats and highly regarded in Dale Morris
    After 4 indifferent years we continue to lack looking to improve our off field football management.

    Re: Coaches locked in for 2020

    I think the cuts had more to do with how many you are allowed to have on game day (6 now I think) and who was most crucial to keep. As I understand it, none of the 3 that were let go are line coaches, so it is likely that the decision is down to that.

    Hopefully once clubs slowly return to normal, some of these coaches will be given opportunities to come back into the fold. Pretty hard to move on line coaches and replace them with a new development coach like Moz after the line coaches have implemented their plans for the season throughout the pre-season.

    Ozza, we appear to have preferred Gia over Corey so there must be something to that

    Isn't Gia our VFL coach? I'd imagine a VFL coach is more important than a line coach if you had to lose someone mid-season.

    Other clubs don't appear to have followed that though

    I think it's a sign simply of where we rank our coaches

    Corey's exclusion is interesting.

    He's been at the club a long while now - 5+ years? Stiff to get the chop before Gia.

    Perhaps its a sign that we think the VFL team is pretty important and if/when the VFL starts up we'd like to have a coach.

    The reality is, these are very tough decisions, and everything I am hearing (including from someone close to me who's been stood down by the club) is that Ameet and Granty have been outstanding throughout a difficult period and that none of the decisions on personnel have been taken lightly or without careful strategic thinking.

    I'm 100% sure we have gone through a process in a very compassionate manner. I think we rate Gia as a coach which is why we brought him back into the reduced senior structure
