    Re: Assistant Coaches for 2017

    So Grace was the forwardline coach for Travis Cloke. Is it a coincidence they're reunited? If Cloke had issues in being around Grace, it'd be very surprising with them both dogs now. Maybe they both spoke highly of each other and what they could do in a new environment.

    Perhaps Gia gets moved to Footscray, Hansen to an assistant and Gracevto the forwardline coach.

        Hansen to Senior Assistant perhaps.

            Update on the WB website:

            Maple - Head of coaching (there was some fancy name attached to his role - but basically support for coaching team and Bevo)

            King - Backline

            Corey - Mid

            Hansen - Forward

            Gia - stoppages & set plays

            Bubba - Development

            Grace - VFL

            Jordan Russell (development) and Jamie Maddocks ( opp. analysis) continue.. No mention of Prismall.

                Interesting shake up considering we just won the premiership. If its not broke don't fix it is the the old saying. I guess it keeps the coaches jobs interesting and no chance of getting bored (if at all possible).

                    I look forward to seeing what Hansen can do as the forwards coach, in particular.

                        Prismall is the player welfare manager. Not specifically a coaching role.

                            It had to be "shaken up" with Montgomery leaving however.

                                Bont has given Corey a huge wrap in interviews. Glad to see we've got him locked away.

                                Also think Hansen has done a super job at Footscray. Will be a great asset in the box for Bevo.

                                    Plus he is still not allowed to be around the club till November.

                                        It's pretty traditional I think to switch the assistant coaching tasks around - not only does it help them stay interested, it also helps them learn new skills that assist in developing their future coaching prospects, and hopefully also bring some (good) new ideas in.

                                        Be nice to know a few more details about their contracts, but good to hear that this bunch of assistant coaches have committed to the club long term - they've helped Bevo do an amazing job so far.

                                            It was pretty clear that Monty was 2IC after Bevo, is it Maple now?

                                                That's how I read it. Well deserved for Maple, outstanding candidate.

                                                            Good changes - Grace will bring a bit to the table and it's good to make some changes

                                                            Corey and King appear to have been good value and Hansen deserves his chance and for the others the changes round out their development
