    Who will coach the Saints?

    I'm sure everyone is as upset as me over the Saints losing their coach , just at the time 4 other clubs (including Freo) have appointed new coaches.

    Three of the leading candidate assistant coaches are now taken, leaving Cameron, Burns and retread coaches like Laidley, Eade and Craig, and possibly Williams from GWS.

    Who will end up coaching the Saints? Has Lyon's late move really left them in the lurch?

    I can't see Eade getting the St Kilda job. It was widely known St kilda considered the Bulldogs to be mentally weak the past few years, i cant see them appointing the coach that was in charge during that time.

    You're probably right. Funny enough, I thought Eade might get the Demons gig - he would have been good for them IMO.

    Should they go for experience (seems out of favour now) or take on of the recently unsuccessful candidates?

    I hope it's Scott Watters just to make Buckley's job a little harder.

    As with us the St.Kilda job is a tough one due to the state of their list.

    This. In fact anyone left at Collingwood, the boot studder, the orange lady. Anyone to make the puppet strings a little harder to be pulled for Bucks

    Our list is in a better state than St Kilda's but I do get your point.
    Pumping games into Tutt, Schofield, Jones, Roughead, Dahlhaus will ensure we do not bottom right.
    I have a feeling B Mac will love Dahlhaus's ability to tackle and never give up.

    Burns has pulled out of the Saints job, he is staying at West Coast.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    I'd add to that the off-filed dramas make them far less attractive than the Bulldogs

    Re: Who will coach the Saints?

    Given that 4 other clubs have selected their new coaches the Saints can take their time and interview all the best and brightest assistants

    Pelchen can handle the list management stuff. As much as none of us would like Pelchen he does seem to know what he is doing with a list.

    Pretty sure St.Kilda supporters could real off some 'no name' players too...

    Re: Who will coach the Saints?

    I like guys that have coached a team in their own right even at lower levels as they are more rounded.

    I hope Robert Harvey gets the gig though as it would be an absolute shambles. They may get someone like Harvey and put an Eade type as manager or something though.....

    Gut feel is they will pick Harvey.

    At about 1am on Sunday morning Molly Meldrum was beign interviewed on RRR.

    He may have been a bit drunk (sounded it) - basically said he wanted Danny Frawley as a coach with Max Hudgeton as an assitant. Also wanted Lyon to take Zac Dawson with him to Freo.

    Asked what he thought of Lyon, Molly said that if his house was on fire and Ross Lyon woke him up, he'd stay in bed
