Coach??

[LostDoggy]

At the risk of getting shot down, I think it is only fair that at this point of the season, and Rocket's career at the Dogs, that we seriously consider the reality that we may have a new coach next year.

So what are the odds of Rocket staying on and who do you think may be an option to replace him?

Re: Coach??

The media will start the ball rolling next week if we loose to richmond. I've said this before but I believe eade will not be coaching next year( add monty and williams to that list). There is somthing rotten at the bulldogs. There is a lack of spirt and effort from the majority and the gameplan is outdated. Today we cant blame hill(excellent I thought) and stack for the loss and the back stops with the coaching staff and senior group.

One thing i will praise eade about though, is that he is under the pump yet he is playing some kids which is good to see.

Re: Coach??

I'd try and get Mathews out of retirement before Malthouse.

But I would like Rocket to stay, he has done a very good job at the dogs and try and find a better coaching record for the dogs in the last 30 years.

He can have a down year, give him the next year to see how things progress. Who's to say that we won't come good, if we go on a winning streak are you all going to retract your statements.

I wanna know when the players are going to step up?
It's always the coach but saying that when your players don't work the other way hard enough, questions need to be asked. Worrying thing is we drift into occasional spurts of hard good Footy then fall alarmingly.

At least Leigh and the players can sit around and talk about how much they hate Aker....!

True they can But Leigh has 4 premierships to his name and would be cheaper than Malthouse.

No hope in Hell, Matthews is done.Tip would be Leon Cameron

Re: Coach??

If the season goes completely pear-shaped and the upper echelon decide they want a change I would go with a young coach and a older, experienced coach ala Essendon. I would have Grant take the reins and invite a Neale Danier type over.

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....

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.

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

Re: Coach??

This question has been on my mind lately, with our form being so down. Whilst I like Eade, and think he should stay on for at least another year, I can see the possibility of those in high places wanting a change. Unless a significant turnaround takes place soonish, I can see them looking elsewhere, with the jungle drums beating louder by the day (which I think would be a shame). Not sure on options, maybe someone new like Cameron (well, new to the head coaching job!).

I thought it was well-deserved and right on the money. The guy's job is on the line, and they make terrible (often basic) errors time and again? I'd go off too.
