Good luck to Rocket, it was always going to be tough to get a head coaching role as everyone wants a new coach ie untried.

Is it though? Not knocking rocket but a lot of people have been questioning this new position and whether it has any relevance at all and with Mick not wanting it as it seems he felt the same way. Other than the financial benefit of the position I'm not sure why rocket would want this job.
I must say I am surprised Rocket took this position, I would have thought he'd want a main gig. Is it possible to wish him luck, and the team bad luck?

From what he Eade says he wants to be a senior coach.
With one job left being the St.Kilda one perhaps he thought due to early discussions he wouldn't be a realistic shot to get the main gig.
So second best option was to take the job at Collingwood, this way he gets to experience a very very well resourced club and also still gets to have a match day role.
