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.

Anyone think we should be chasing Lyon as well?

Maybe Rocket can sort them out.
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.
