    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.

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

    Young selection panel would make me think we will end up with a younger coach.

    Who would you like on the committee?

    To me we have selected two men who have extensive playing careers and who have been coached by many different coaches.
    One has had success at the highest level as a captain.

    Re: Goodwin reportly front runner for WB coaching vacancy

    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....

    Re: Goodwin reportly front runner for WB coaching vacancy

    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.

    Has he had much official involvement in the club since he retired. I think he's been out of the club's system long enough to come in with a balanced enough view.

    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.

    Leon Cameron and Chris Grant jointly owned an AFL franchise at Highpoint didn't they?
