Assistant Coaches

Re: Assistant Coaches

Nathan Bassett didn't get a contract at Port. Been coaching a long time, pretty sure he was considered for senior roles in the past - any opinions?

Re: Assistant Coaches

Anyone who doesn?t have an opportunity somewhere else is not someone you want though

Isn?t everyone up in arms we don?t have Dew who was just sacked by another club? And wanting McQualter who was rejected by another? I?m not saying they?re bad, but saying anyone who doesn?t have a job currently is no good is a bit harsh.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Travis Varcoe interviewed on Yokayi Footy. Was offered a 1 year contract but decided to step back to spend more time with his family.

I saw on Facebook that he'll be taking on the head coach role at Altona!

Re: Assistant Coaches

Andddd it sounds like Dimma has convinced McQualter to head to Gold Coast with him for next season..
Cool, we’ll be scraping the barrel for literally anyone at this rate.
Almost every single coach that I’m told we’ve spoken to is choosing elsewhere over WO. Make of that what you will but **** if doesn’t fill me with confidence.

”wait wait wait and see season isn’t over yet”
I completely disagree with this sentiment. Knowing what I know, landing good assistant coaches is “first in best dressed” - right now we are stuck in traffic wearing a pirate outfit with the asscheeks missing.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Terrific. Ignore everything but back Bevo in because we will get a bunch of good assistants to turn the club around.

This is going as good as the original game plan set for 2023 that lasted two weeks.

Don’t trade future picks now.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Seems a strange move for someone with senior coach ambitions to follow the senior coach they were just working with...

Re: Assistant Coaches

Why would you choose to be mentored by a control freak? It's an oxymoron.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Yeah it seems strange that we have been doing a review since midyear and yet still haven't signed any replacements.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Wouldn't you wait till year end to see who will be available?

That kind of sounds like waiting for the ball to come to you?

Ayo, look, I'm lucky if I look at BF once a month, I lump BF in with the Dogs facebook groups, full of cringe takes and really dumb opinions.

I speak with a mod here privately, he knows my sources, but if my input isn't appreciated I'll just keep shit to myself from now on and keep out of conversations, easily done.

Ohhhhhh, what a disgraceful effort on the club's part. Must be mismanagement.

Your input is appreciated.

Not sure the one Mod who runs the site you just outed as a confidant would feel great about that admission though.

Re: Assistant Coaches

There is an amazing amount of presumption and outright guessing going on in this thread. I highly doubt anybody here knows what we have and haven't done in regards to off field appointments. Can we at least wait until our coaching staff are finalised before we burn down Whitten Oval?

I love sensible posts. There hasn't been a lot recently that I've read.

Vred, don't let that bother you. There are always sceptics on footy forums. They exist because so many people claim to be ITK when they are not. Thankfully that doesn't happen here very often.

Your intel is greatly appreciated.
