Experienced Senior Assistant Coach to help Bevo - Who?

[AshMac]

He hasn’t been mentioned in it, so it’s hard to rule anyone out other than those named in the report. Also, ‘if’ he worked well with Bevo then, and ‘if’ he worked well with Lade the last few years, and ‘if’ Sam Power rated him having been scouting for Carlton around the time he left (and insights he’d have thereafter), and ‘if’ Bains liked him (appointed to St Kilda just before Bain’s left so assuming Bains was in on that appointment before leaving Aints), then those pre-existing good working relationships could be very synergistic for the club ‘if’ all those guys work well and respect him as a footy person. It could/might be a good move on a relationship level, as well as bringing in a very experienced footy professional.

Agree - works on lots of levels.

The Bulldogs have replaced some of the significant coaching experience they lost 12 months ago with the key appointment of highly rated assistant Lade. The Port Adelaide premiership ruckman crosses from St Kilda, where he was senior assistant, and will take charge of the Bulldogs' midfield, with Marc Webb to work primarily on stoppages and opposition strategy. Rohan Smith and Matt Spangher remain as assistant coaches, working with the backline and forwards respectively. The team is rounded out by Jamie Maddocks and Travis Varcoe in development, with Stewart Edge leading the Bulldogs' VFL team. Former head of coaching and operations manager Chris Maple has stepped down and will return to coaching in Ballarat.

I do like the idea of Webb doing the opposition planning which should be a vital role each week.

Big challenge for Spagner too to figure out how to make best use of our somewhat imbalanced (potentially not depending how we use it though) forward line.

[Bulldog4life]

Nobody replacing Maple....at this stage.

I saw that and thought it was a sick joke. That is beyond disappointing.

I'm sure we could have talked him into to coming to cold Victoria for the footy season.

Hasn't he taken on the same role he was supposed to have with us before Covid?

Dale Morris should be no where else but the Bulldogs.

Hopefully he's working with us from the inside

Yes I believe so, ie development

It’s not right, like if Gordo joined GC as prez or the EJ statue was moved to Princes Park. Some things just belong at Whitten Oval… Moz is one of them.

He only moved because he lost his role at the club.

Sad to think that such quality people and 2016 Premiership players in Morris and Matthew Boyd at Fremantle have been lost to the WB.
