Who will coach the Dogs, Dees & Crows?

[Remi Moses]

And watch the players continue to rule the roost

We need FRESH blood. Someone who has helped implement a winning game plan in the modern style. Someone who isnt "friends" with some players, but if the board thinks he is the best to get, then i guess he is.

Let's wait and see, Who really Knows!

[kruder]

How did you come up with that?

What easy decisions are you talking about that have been made in the past?

Ill be here all night in regards to taking the easy options......Choosing Cameron is another example.


Lets hope he has the steel to be a good gaffer. Good luck leon!

Surely we would want to appoint a senior coach a few weeks prior to the draft. That way, he has time to analyse our list and make appropriate action for what we 'need' ... otherwise, we're drafting with no direction - or at the least - a lack of.

Based on a David Smorgon interview I heard I think the position might be filled within 10 days giving the new coach enough time to address the playing group and make his assessments.
You would have to think that the interview process would have a strong focus on that anyway.

Given the draft isn't until late November his first priority will be to determine the approach we should take with the trade week so he certainly needs an understanding of who stays and goes.

It would appear that it's Cameron's job to lose but I hope we are strong enough in our determination to get the best candidate that we can take each interview on it's merit.

I heard on radio they would be doing the main interviews in 10 days.

Anyone think we should be chasing Lyon as well?

[The Coon Dog]

Anyone think we should be chasing Lyon as well?

No, no & no!

Heard from someone last night that our search is down to 4; Williams, Neeld, Cameron & Burns.

No way we want him let him go to Melbourne I think Burns may get a run with Leon having too many close ties with the group.As an aside I just hope they appoint someone and let him lead and tell the players to play bloody football and not run the club.

Rumour is Lyon to Melbourne on 5 year deal and Rocket to Saints.

[Murphy'sLore]

Maybe Rocket can sort them out.

I would hate that if true ... I would like to support Rocket at his next team (you know hope he does well etc) but I couldn't do that if it was the Saints.

[the banker]

Always liked Scott Burns demeanour and footy attitude. He squeezed the most out of what he had and seemed very secure in his belief. If he can translate that to coaching I like the idea of him at the Dogs rather than Leon who IMO doesn't present as a creative appointment for us.

Dogs Burns
Dees Lyon
Saints Rocket

[The Underdog]

No, no & no!

Some Herald Sun doof (Jay Clark) just tweeted that he thinks an upset is brewing in the race to win the Dogs coaching job. If that's the case, here's hoping it's Neeld or Burns and not Williams. Of course it could be speculation...

Yeah but imagine the look on Grant Thomas' face when that appointment was made.
Personally I can't see them going for him, but who knows.

[Rocco Jones]

No, no & no!

Do you think there is any chance Cameron won't get it?
