    I think we are under rating him on here.
    His record tells you he is a winner and obviously knows a lot about the game , he also has a head start as he knows how we operate, game plans and players
    I think it’s a great appointment.
    I agree. No point bringing in someone new who doesn't get the Bulldogs style and get them to coach your seconds. You want the alignment as close as possible.

    As regards changing up the other assistants, that is a more reasonable. Keeping a management team the same means you have the same voices, the same complacency, the same ideas. I would like to see one maybe 2 new assistants.

    He was indeed.

    Wonder if we had a sniff Gia was going to defect at the time ...

    Corey's got a bit to work with over there with that budding midfield.

    Interesting that we (me included) seem to think we need to change a couple of the Assistants, yet heading into 2021 they have either been re-hired, poached or found a gig at another club. All this in an environment where there are less positions going around.

    Re: Assistant coaches merry go round

    Assistant coaching is pretty much all self-fulfilling, but of all the guys we had, based on what I heard from the players and the performance of his department, I thought Corey was the best of our crew.

    Another shrewd move from Freo in what is becoming an annoying trend.

    We have a state league netball coach working with our 15's talent squad.

    I understand Alexander has international experience but to suggest she is ready to jump from coaching netball (small court, zone based game played by female athletes) to the highest level of Australian Football in one jump is a stretch. Line coaching with a NAB League side and living through the grind of a season and working with a squad of 40+ male athletes would be a good step in her progression.

    Is AFL coaching beyond someone like Alexander? Absolutely not. But she has some intermediate steps to take first...
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    Was she serious or using the profile raising opportunity to advertise her services for other upcoming netball jobs?

    It is clearly a publicity stunt, probably well intentioned ie. not for her own profile but to promote the discussion of women coaches being overlooked.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    She should apply for an AFLW role to start with if she is serious, or an assistants role.

    There is a large tendency to go with men who have played AFL before.
    I know some fully accredited coaches who can't get a sniff in the AFL setup, time and time again it's a guy generally who played. I had a chat to Ameet about this once as we both know this person and he was aware that its an issue within the industry.
    Guess it's cultural and clubs will have to take a chance to change things up.

    At an AFLW function I asked Debbie Lee why we don't have any women as assistants for AFLW, and she said there aren't too many out there with the experience.
