Who will coach the Dogs, Dees & Crows?

[LostDoggy]

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

Wow that would be huge -- weren't the Saints pretty dismissive of Rocket's capacity for a while there when he was our coach? I guess they know better than most how close we've come to pulling off upsets purely due to Rocket's tactical nous.

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...

No disrespect to Leon, but part of me is really hoping we get someone else. Someone from outside of the Bulldogs circle.

[Maddog37]

I prefer Burns to any of the others but have no idea why.

Yeah, I feel the same. If the whole point was to get a new voice, then I don't see how an old voice helps. If he comes through the interview process as the clear winner that's fine, but it's going to be hard to not make it look like nepotism or at least prove that it wasn't.
On the other hand, if it's Wiliams I may go all Richmond supporter...

Ross Lyon would be the first to admit that Rocket coached the pants off him in the 09 PF. He admitted as much in the post-match presser.

Rocket would be in the best 4-6 coaches still going around and I hope for his sake that he gets a senior coaching gig elsewhere. He is simply too good at his craft not to be doing it somewhere else in 2012.

me too. Currently Burns is my preferred.

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

I have no idea.

Ross Lyon has come to agreement with the St Kilda Football Club and will be staying on throughout 2012 & beyond.

From that list of 4 TCD mentioned, none get me excited and say "Yes Yes Yes go and get them"

Stkilda will continue to be unwatchable. Exciting times indeed

[Dancin' Douggy]

Crows. Gloria Jean
Dees. Ikea
Dogs. Ronald MacDonald.

If I was a saints fan, that would be the least of my worries. I prefer winning over game style everytime.

Exactly. Let the neutrals/opposition fans worry about it.

It's his job to lose. I think the other candidates would be best served by highlighting strengths in their own skill set that might be a weakness of Cameron's.

Feeling a bit the same Coon Dog - just hope we find the right person for the job and it's given for all the right reasons, i.e., ability to coach, motivate and hopefully be 2 steps ahead of an opposition coach! Is that too much to ask?

spot on. we need a coach with no ties to the playing group and can make sone tough decisions on the playing group ie hardwick . Also one who can shape the playing list to play and able to beat the top 4 teams. Burns for me!

[kruder]

Burns sounds like a done deal in adelaide unfortunetly.
