Re: Senior Assist Coach Options

It is August 1 but I'm not sure that clubs all come out and announce who is staying and who is going at the time.

Yep, it's the same day as all the horses' birthdays.

If the opportunity arose I would appoint Matthew Boyd and Dale Morris without hesitation.

Good call. I was thinking the other day that Morris is incredible as a defender and mentor, but he's got current knowledge on current gun forwards that he can impart for next year.

Boyd sure. Morris I would encourage to pursue opportunities at other clubs with a view to bringing him back in a few years.

Our coaching staff is sorely lacking in fresh ideas and perspectives and adding a bloke who has been a part of our club for 14 years does not fix that at all. At least Boyd has had a couple of years at a successful club now, that's the minimum we should be expecting from Morris or any other new coach.

I thought Dale could be an assistant at Footscray and tell him he can play as long as he likes.

These are exactly the types we should be bringing into our coaching ranks in some capacity. Bulldogs warriors who gave everything. They have genuine footy smarts, tough but fair, and premiership heroes. We often hear about culture within clubs and it's importance. These two would enhance that surely.

Melbourne is looking at Richardson as an assistant to Goodwin, but no other movements mentioned.

With Roughies retirement, surely we should be asking him the question.

Apparently Saints are all over him.

Craig Jennings (our former opposition analyst) is leaving Melbourne to take up an AFL aligned VFL coaching position. Highly regarded and seen as a potential future senior coach.

How highly regarded can someone be to get a job at a footy club through seek.com.au?

Re: Senior Assist Coach Options

Richardson to Melbourne
Caracalla to Essendon
Roughead to St Kilda
Bolton to Hawthorn

Are we losing out to other clubs, or not chasing them?

Re: Senior Assist Coach Options

I don't think you could blast our current crop of assistants out with dynamite.

Assuming we'll find a role for Moz and nobody else departs do we really have any openings?

Another re-shuffle? Or actual turnover?
