Assistant Coaches

Re: Assistant Coaches

I really don't understand why we wouldn't be jumping at Dew or why some around here don't think he'd be good for us.

Might be because we're waiting to see what McQualter does.

Still doing our Dew diligence?

I take it all back G. Shut it down.

Re: Assistant Coaches

An update via my mother courtesy of SEN, Chris Newman is the latest coach linked to the dogs.

Johhno was apparently saying the Croft camp would want to sit down with the club to see where he fits before he nominates them. Nothing too enlightening just more Dew diligence to be had.

I heard his name mentioned but it wasn't a convincing statement.
I'd imagine GG will say "Hello Newman" if he gets appointed

He's an ambitious coach in waiting so how do we squeeze both Lade and Newman into the coaches box if we do land him?

I’m going with one of McQualter/Newman at the dogs next year ha

Correct G...!

Re: Assistant Coaches

Newman, McQualter, Dew...all good names to have aligned with us.

The key in my view is that we get experienced coaches in, to replace the experience we have lost. Ideally coaches who have recently been in successful systems. But I don't really mind who it is, as I don't have enough inside knowledge to know who is good or not.

Love someone who has moved on from the third man up rule being removed "to protect the ruckman", and has adapted to the stand rule changes.

Re: Assistant Coaches

I think we would be a great destination for any aspiring assistant coaches. The new facilities and of course a good senior coach who is loyal to his assistants must be very tempting.

Good assistants have only ever walked out of our club under Bevo, not in. I?m not sure if it?s exactly a draw card, on current evidence looks like more the opposite to be completely honest.

Yes, I rewatched the 2016 grand final last night (this is why WOOF needs to stay, I wouldn't admit to that anywhere else) and it is so weird watching us have 2 or 3 people actively contesting the ruck, and players moving on the mark.

I don't agree with the changes, but I also don't think our side has adapted to them. Fresh voices will hopefully help.

To be fair they walked out after 5-6 years, searching for upgraded opportunities, so it can't have been that bad.

Since then both King and Hansen have coached AFL games haven't they? Probably feeling pretty vindicated.

Re: Assistant Coaches

At the risk of overthinking things are we suddenly attracting the interest of better credentialed assistants because they sniff an opportunity?

Fortune favors the brave. I'd imagine some of the more experienced ones might see an opportunity.
