Coach??

Re: Coach??

If we lose next week and go 2 and 5, the heat on Eade will almost be unbearable. It will get very, very ugly in a hurry. The media will sniff blood and go for the kill.

Re: Coach??

Thought Rockets quarter time "Rocket" aimed at Stack and Williams was petulant and unprofessional. Having said that i think he is a good coach and the best value for money we can get. Dont like the thought of the realistic candidates we can afford eg Dean Laidley, Chris Connolly.

Defensive gameplan is killing us....

Why was he upset and what did he say for you to class it as petulant?

Re: Coach??

Cameron would be interesting or how about German? I would rather Eade get a 1 year deal to see if he can turn things around. But in saying that it is still too early to be hanging the coach, we have a good draw for the second half we just need to stay in touch this half.

This guy CAN coach too.
Has come through some ranks, seen a lot, knows football. Probably wont be too far off saying he'll be at the helm of a AFL club one day.

Re: Coach??

Sometimes sacking he coach is the easy option.......We have had 3 losses in a row. 2 of those losses were by just over a goal. In a game of footy the bounce of the ball just hasn't gone our way. We have an injury list which is not long, but unfortunately contains key players for us in Lake, Hargrave, Hall, Higgins.

As for getting Malthouse back to the club......my opinions are known, I wouldnt welcome anyone back to the club who walked out in 1989. Yes he has overseen Colingwood become a good team, but honestly with their budget I think most coaches, Rocket included could have achieved what he has achieved.

Matthews....would be a better choice, but I think that the game needs new blood. New younger coaches who have played the game in the last decade. For me we missed a trick not getting a guy like Hardwick. With our list he would have done wonders. I'm not sold on Cameron, but think Monty could be a good option, though German for mine is an AFL coach in waiting.

Agree on Malthouse, the way he walked out was unforgivable. Matthews is a has been.

Who should coach us, lets decide at the end of the year.

Re: Coach??

I don't think Cameron is the answer but would be interested in why you rate him?

just a gut feel. Personally I rate Eade, but if the year goes haywire there will be a change

Re: Coach??

Brendan McCartney and potentially Ken Hinkley will be at the top of the untried list.

Choco Williams, Roos and Moulthouse will all be looked at.

Re: Coach??

Mark Neeld for me.

Re: Coach??

We are asking if we want Rod but does Rod even want to continue with us?
Must be frustrating, knowing what can be achieved but your players lack effort for two qtrs and we lose by a couple of kicks.

Going by his responses every time he's asked about it, yes.

Re: Coach??

It wil be very interesting if Smorgon and the board stick to their guns. Smorgon said a GF appearance is the pass mark, and right now we are a LONGGGGGG way from even top 4.

He won't come out and publicly say he doesn't want to coach.

Re: Coach??

He won't come out and publicly say he doesn't want to coach.

But that's all we can go by, unless someone is hearing his private conversations. The way I see it, he's been asked numerous times, and his answer hasn't wavered. I'm prepared to take him at his word.

Yeah me to. Eade is a career coach if he leaves us without a flag it most likely will be hard for him to get another top job.
