    And a promotion. Not a big ask at all. Plus there's a soft cap.

        Matthew Egan is on the @westernbulldogs radar to join the football department. Currently head of development at Geelong, previously coached at Melbourne & Essendon
        That would be a decent addition for us.

        It was always going to be a tough ask to get Leppa across from the reigning premiers.

        I'm confident we will end up with an upgraded coaching team.

          Once we sack Bevo and elevate Spanger to head coach I think we'll have our pick of league.

            Why are you confident?
            More of an In Bruges guy?

              There are a lot of good coaches out there, it's about getting the balance right.
              As much as I rated Smith for the way he worked with the players and the way Webb provided fact based analysis to support Bevo, we can find upgrades to them. The same applies with Varcoe and perhaps Martin. Innes might be harder to cover and if we get someone in to replace Maple from the previous year then that will help our footy department significantly.

              I'm still confident we will come out of this with a strong team around Bevo.

                  Agree wholeheartedly, but the club needs to shut up instead of going to the media with every single targeted prospective assistant coach before they have committed. And if the leaks are coming from the managers, get them to sign NDA's prior to engaging with their clients - it's really not hard to keep things quiet.

                  Less talk more action.

                              Yep. Same. Club has known since mid year that Smith, Webb and Innes was on the move.

                              It certainly appears we have not been proactive in the slightest.
