Assistant Coaches

Re: Assistant Coaches

Well they could be spending less in their fitness and sports science set-up.
Without knowing the set-up it's hard to drill down and work out how things are allocated.

Geelong are chasing Steven King. Another club seemingly investing heavily in its coaching ranks.

Chris Scott, Nigel Lappin and adding King to the mix.

I'd be okay with us being linked again with King. He would have learned a lot in his time at the Suns.

He'd probably not want to return to us I'd guess.

You'd think career wise the more diverse his experience the better.

Me saying that on the back of 25 years at the same place this month.....
I get a gift at least. Equal to 20$/yr.

5 is Not my choice. Maybe 1 or 2 new appointments would be encouraging. September was horrible month for us. Hard to build any fan confidence. Imagine trying to sell $50 raffle tickets?

Here are some changes for you

More footy department changes at @stkildafc
Head doctor Brett Frenkiel + three physios have left, including the head physio.


This follows psychologist Ben Robbins last month & fitness boss Nick Walsh in May. Lots of change behind the scenes at Moorabbin as the new(ish) regime sweeps through

I agree, it's an unlikely scenario but if McQualter moved North and King read the signs and wanted a return to Melbourne I'd hope we give him a call to gauge his interest.

Re: Assistant Coaches

I know nothing about what makes an assistant coach any good, but the type of background/experience I'm hoping we target is someone like a Hayden Skipworth type. Has coached his own VFL team, has run an academy and also been an integral part of the Pies coaching set-up in the last 2 years.

Also he wasn't culled by Graham Wright when he came in straight after the Buckley era, which says to be he is very highly valued internally at the filth.

Re: Assistant Coaches

I might have missed something here but who from the club sold us that coaching changes would be the solution?

No one missed us losing to bottom sides and missing the finals altogether when top 4 was mentioned ? Is that being glossed over?
Not renewing R Smith?s contract and letting Innes move on tell us they were more part of the problem and not the solution.
This forum has even discussed possible coaching issues. Was the review another sham?
If coaching changes isn?t a solution, what is? No changes will get the same results next year.

St kilda made finals when they weren’t expected to. We not only missed top 4 we missed finals.

King is under contract. Talk is Geelong are trying to lure him out in a swap with Grigg.

What's that got to do with anything?

It’s about selling hope. Stkilda have it in spades

Re: Assistant Coaches

It sounds like Barlow is off to North in a development role.

I think he would have enough experience to be a line coach but that's probably a great starting point for him.
It looks like a good appointment for North.

Re: Assistant Coaches

North Melbourne has signed Michael Barlow as the club's new head of development. The 35-year-old will join the Kangaroos after coaching Werribee in the VFL for the past three seasons.

"Head of Development" probably meant they beat our offer, as we already have Jamie Maddocks (3x St Bede's premiership player) in the Development Manager role.

Oh behave.

I think any Catholic school on the bay counts for Bevo.
