Could Stewart Edge be both "Head of Development" and VFL Coach?

He appears to already have a lot on his plate.
It's possible but unlikely

Re: Assistant Coaches

On paper he?s an excellent appointment. Great that is focus will be on our forwards.

Certainly need some focus on our forward craft particularly goal kicking which Johnno has been assisting with.

Our forward like would be a lethal combination with great entry to them and kicking accuracy that is for sure.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Reid said he was thrilled to be joining the Bulldogs at such an exciting time.

?Bevo gave me a call last week and I am just really excited to get in here and meet everyone. It is a really exciting group of forwards ? quality talls and smalls that play an exhilarating brand of footy,? Reid said.

?I found a real passion for coaching - the relationships, the day-to-day work - it really sparked something for me. I am just rapt to have landed at a great club like the Western Bulldogs.

?I am really strong on building good habits, from day one of pre-season all the way through a year and overall trying to get players to have really long careers.

?Bevo was my first development coach at Collingwood, so it has come full circle and I am excited to get to work.?

Reid is the only addition to the Bulldogs coaching panel after Jamie Maddocks' departure to West Coast last month.

Seeing that Reid has been assigned to the forwards he must be excited to have a chance to work with Naughton, Darcy, Ugle-Hagan and Weightman and of course the other 10 players we tend to rotate through the forward line each season.

Lets hope he and Spangher can find some improvements in our very talented and potentially dangerous forward line.

The inner sanctum: Who sits in your club's coaches' box?

Our reporters take a look at the people who support your club's senior coach on match day

FROM assistants to analysts to coaching directors, AFL coaches' boxes are a wealth of information.

When TV cameras pan across to coaches' boxes in the AFL in the modern game, the head coach is flanked by numerous members of staff.

For others, like Collingwood coach Craig McRae and Yartapuulti's Ken Hinkley among others, they prefer to do their coaching from the interchange bench.

But just who are those people in your club's coaches' box on game day?

WESTERN BULLDOGS

Player leadership coach Jarryn Geary has become Luke Beveridge's right-hand man on game day. The former Euro-Yroke skipper sits next to the senior coach and helps him action moves, with midfield coach Brendon Lade parking himself on the bench to be the conduit from the box to ground level. Beveridge wears the headphones for most of the game, communicating with Lade and PDM Brent Prismall, who also runs messages on game day. Daniel Pratt and Matt Spangher sit in the front row next to Beveridge. Analyst Jason Smith is also in the front row, close to the coach to relay information. GM Matt Egan sits at the back of the box and is involved in ensuring nothing is missed with communication between the coaches. – Josh Gabelich

Jason Smith - is he a new inclusion to the team?

From his Linkedin he's been at the club a long time but received a promotion last year:

Maybe he's the tech mind behind Bevos super powered analytics program?

I am really happy with the coaching set up, doing a fantastic job

I heard Adam Simpson say this morning on SEN, that Pratt should be considered for a head coaching role in the future, rates him highly.

Shut up Adam…

[josie]

Can anyone else similarly b/w (with extra few kg he now bears) & Val Kilmer?

Agree with Underdog-shush until we win the granny this year & next please.

Unfortunately he will probably get it. The improvement he has made to our defensive game is just too obvious to ignore. Hope we can convince him to stay long enough to add premierships to his CV.
