Assistant coaches merry go round

[soupman]

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.

Experience as a coach? I can see why if they don't get hired in the first place.

Like the classic "We are looking for a candidate for an entry level job in our company. Requires two years industry experience".

Yes Experience as a coach.

I thought the same. You need to develop the coaches, and finding some women with the right attributes is a start.

Just like finding a wife BAD.

It may be a surprise, but everybody with experience only has that experience because someone gave them an opportunity before they had experience.

If you look a bit a further, the best coach in the next 30 years probably has no experience now.

Jordan Russell gone to Norf.

Which recent ex assistant should we replace him with?

He gets appointed as the VFL coach and then leaves? That is pretty bad as far as I am concerned.

What happened there - we cut him, re-hired him and now he's left?

Joel Corey already has a new job, what's Choco Royal up to these days?

From his point of view he probably felt expendable given he was let go, only to get a reprieve when Gia left.

Can't blame him for seeking more security.

Dean Soloman still available? From what I've heard he's highly regarded.

Yep. Agree. Almost as bad as Dunkley wanting out.

Ha you’ve gotta wonder. Bevo preaches loyalty but doesn’t particularly get it going the other way.

This is the way I see it.

Loyalty is very relative. As 'loyal' as we were hiring him back, we also did let him too. Security plays a huge part in the loyalty you can afford. Easier to be loyal when you are guaranteed a decent income for a long time.

If the offer had better security and tenure about it I think that is the market we play in.
Gia goes to Essendon but interviews for the North job without being criticised

I wonder who we will look at?

Bevo left a job with St Kilda immediately after joining when he get the job with us

I think a senior coaching role is different to an assistant role

This is the way I see it.

He had the VFL coaching role, a chance to coach his own team?
