    ADELAIDE playing great Simon Goodwin is expected to become a front-runner in the selection of Western Bulldogs new coach to replace the departed Rodney Eade.

    Isn't he Fantasia's good friend?

    Does that mean James will have to step back from his position on the selection committee?

    I thought I heard that when Goodwin first moved to Melb he stayed with James until he got settled.... They are said to be very close.

    I have no problems hiring Goodwin if he is the best candidate, but I wouldn't be happy with this decision if James was still on the selection committee.

    I believe he will be on the committee along with Garlick, a personnel consultant (probably Laurie Serafini as he does a lot of these) and an interdependent football person (last time it was Walls).

    Surely we're not so pathetic that we will give the jobs to Fantasia's mate?

    Surely we are.

    I just hope that whoever they select is based on performance, presentation etc and everyone goes through the same due process. I doubt our process is barely off the ground, so I'm sure these articles will pop up regularly after we speak to each potential candidate.

    Protocol should ensure that Fantasia steps aside while his ex house mate is being interviewed.
    I'd be very surprised that either James wouldn't offer to step aside or Smorgon wouldn't insist on it.

    Absolutely needs to happen.

    THE Western Bulldogs have appointed Tom Harley and Chris Grant to join its coach selection process.

    Harley and Grant will play a key role in finding a replacement for Rodney Eade on a coaching sub-committee that also includes CEO Simon Garlick (chairman), football chief James Fantasia and board member Geoff Walsh.

    President David Smorgon will not be part of the initial process, but as head of the board will have to tick off any decision.

    No one loves Granty more than I do but how is he 'independent'? Tom Harley comes across very well but he's:

    a. never coached
    b. never picked a coach

    We're not only picking rookie coaches, we're picking rookie coach-pickers.
