I'm not sure if this means anything but he was at the game in Ballarat.

i think he does the analysis for the saints as well on the next team they play.

According to Mark Stevens all our assistant coaches are contracted for 2019...

Reading Sam Mitchell wants to come back to Victoria. He'd be the type of guy I think we should chase. May have a connection with Bevo from days at Hawks.

Then Gordon needs to find his inner coach sacker (which he has) and get to work.

If true, that's appalling and simply cannot be signed off by Gordo and Ameet. No meaningful change at all to the coaching personnel for a number of years, and for the last 2 years that group has delivered 16 wins and no finals (straight after 2 finals campaigns and a flag). On what metrics are they being measured to simply let them continue without change/challenge?

Our coaching group are an echo chamber of same ideas with not a skerrick of alternative thought and perspective - that simply cannot continue.

I'm disgusted if that's the case and we make no changes, however, there's no reason why we can't actually bring in additional resources or allow the ones we have to pursue other options.

So IF that is true that mean even if we wanted to make changes we can't.

Is that just more bad luck?

Isn't there a cap on footy department spending?

There is but I doubt we are fully spent

Why wouldn't we be fully spent, or close? What do you think we've spent of our cap?

We've got a lot of staff under the footy department umbrella.

just a guess like everyone else does on WOOF, but when I look at other teams they have a lot more assistants than us. Maybe we spend in the wrong areas.

Would be a tragic case of irony if Sam Mitchell was in fact interested in a senior assistant role with us but we couldn't give him a market rate for his skill sets and he goes elsewhere to a team who can/does. While we keep a bunch of people who have for two years gone backwards quickly, year on year, because for some reason they're all contracted.
