3AW Rumour file Monday 2/5

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Not sure but cant seem to find a post on WOOF.

3AW today had a caller ring up and state that rumour has Mick Malthouse coaching the Dogs next year.

If true would he really be better than Rocket?

Would we be better to explore a young untried coach like Hird or the Scotts?

Do we stay with Rocket?

I'll take the Rumour File with a grain of salt.

As for coaches, I think Eade should stay. However, the more time goes on, the more I think he'll be moved on if we don't make the GF this year. Just a feeling. Not sure we could afford Malthouse - and he's left us once already. I'm very wary of an untried coach.

I hear what you are saying but what experienced coaches are out there that you would want?

We were burnt with Rhode as an untried but had great success with Wallace.

I have great confidence in our footy department appointing the senior coach for 2012 if that is tried or untried coach.

Re: 3AW Rumour file Monday 2/5

It's time for a change, my opinion is Eade has run his race in AFL footy, but I can't see Malthouse coming to the Dogs. Wherever he coaches next you can be sure it'll be a club with lots of money, resources, and everything a coach could want to be successful. Malthouse won't take any chances.

The way Malthouse jumped ship back in 1989 forget it don't want him anywhere near the club.

Rocket has been fantastic for the club and I would give him another two years.

The club nearly jumped ship in 89.Yeah I'd have him back in a heartbeat,but in saying that I think Rocket's doing a good job!

Realistically, while Smorgan says it's GF or bust - from a pure business point of view, our sponsors would have to be happy with us being top 4, finals performers for the past 3 years. Outside of making a GF, Eade has done very well.

While "who dares, wins" - I think this year we can bank another finals campaign, and with the youth we have, we'll probably be there abouts for the next 4-5 years if Eade stayed on. I'd be surprised if we moved him on - unless a premiership coach put his hand up and wanted the job, and at a financially palatable price. Choco Williams springs to mind...

He will take over from Sheedy at GWS.

and hasn't he left Port in such an enviable position

Re: 3AW Rumour file Monday 2/5

Roos.

This.

Is he still based in Sydney?

Re Malthouse, it always warms my heart when he talks about our club and calls them Footscray. I really believe he has a major soft spot for us (and not just the everyone's second club feeling). He was basically untried when he coached us, his mud had barely dried on his boots.

Junkyard Dog is another that springs to mind and where is Pagan at? Been a bit quiet over the last few years.

Realistically it's got to be someone either just out of the game, or the coaching equivalent
.

Re: 3AW Rumour file Monday 2/5

Malthouse would be great - 89 is long gone, but he simply cannot coach anywhere else next year.

We simply don't have the $3m+ to pay out his contractual commitment to Collingwood, along with his rumoured $900k pa salary (which is supposedly $350k-$400k more than any other coach in the competition).


I dare say Eade wouldn't be happy with Roos taking his job again.

Eade, Malthouse, Roos.
In that order!
