Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"
Young selection panel would make me think we will end up with a younger coach.
So it needs to be someone not affiliated with any club, but with good experience
Gerard Healy
Lethal
Paul Roos
Not that many to choose from that are not linked to another club, with the right mix
Jason Akermanis? ^_^
Hey that bloke Eade, he knows a bit about coaching....

I can see where you're coming from but if we are going to pick a rookie coach for a 'refreshing' approach, wouldn't getting a very senior coach on the panel be beside the point?
Also, is there any point getting any former coach than Lethal? Roos is so Sydney centric he'd sabotage us. The only other ex-coach with something to offer would be Eade but I think that would be a little awkward.
I agree - the two chosen have a good understanding of the modern game, and analyse in a non emotional fashion in stark contrast to alot of other reactionary types. Maybe one other to give a bit of balance. Someone who's been there in the box like a David King maybe who is quite astute also.
On conflicts of interest, how about Grant and Cameron? Came to he club together and played in the same team for a decade.
It would be hard to find two more respected people in football than Grant and Harley.Let's hope they are given every opportunity to play a significant role in the selection. The only prospect I would consider with a previous SA connection would be Scott Burns who is very highly regarded.
How does this not surprise me if he gets the job I will fair dinkum spew up Fantasia should not be on the commitee he needs to be properly evaluated before he interviews one candidate!!!!
bulldogs are forever not just when they are winning
If Goodwin gets the gig we will get a big told you so from Akermanis.
Leon Cameron and Chris Grant jointly owned an AFL franchise at Highpoint didn't they?
