That is a damning statistic. But could it also say he did well to get that far with the players at hand?

No problem With Kruders opinion just that its the same story all the time and mainly BS eg Improvemnet in youngsters.

Re: Head Coaching Position 2012

Why cos kruders opinion differs to yours?

No because of his 50 posts, 23 have been bagging Eade and/or the match committee.

Re: Head Coaching Position 2012

I would like to see a change at the Western Oval with both Coach and Football director. Also like to see our recruitment officer changed with a bigger budget in that area. Personally think recent selections on mature players have mostly been flops. Personally Ken Hinkley as my choice for a new coach with the best available assistants.

That is what I would like to see.

What will probably happen is Eade is offered 2 years with a possible 3rd. Some assistants will go and the status quo fairly much.

Come on socks we dont live in North Korea. Opinion is welcome in our country.

Fair enough. I have obviously ignored them .

Re: Head Coaching Position 2012

I think we keep Eade I like the idea of going after Bond as I really rate him.As for Scott West wether or not he is an ex player means nothing he has been in the system for a few years now and is well rated by all reports but Kirk is the one I would really chase hard I think he is the one who leads the battle the one you die for just has than inspiration about him. Most of all I want some fresh ideas and some new voices I am not as down about next year as some on here and think our window is not yet fully closed.

Re: Head Coaching Position 2012

Kirk is close to 0% chance if Eade is still there.
I really don't understand this infatuation with Brett Kirk. Oh yes he is a Buddhist.

Based on what? I don't know enough about him to have an opinion either way.

Based on, I don't like his personality. Coaching attributes, I wouldn't have a clue.

Re: Head Coaching Position 2012

I have had a think about this and apologies if someone else has suggested this.

I think our next coach should be a young coach who has been part of a successful team ie Mark Neeld with all our money pumped into the some of the better Assistants that are looking for a change.
I think Malthouse is getting all the credit for his structure with less emphasis on how good his Assistants have been.
Chris Bond would be a great player manager, have only heard good things about him when he was at the Dogs.

I did suggest previously that Mark Neeld as senior coach and Chris Bond as player manager would represent good value going forward. I believe it is time for a change. We have dropped off in a number of areas over the past two years. Without Barry Hall next year, our forward line at best lacks strength and class. We have placed far too much reliance this year on a handful of players including Murphy, Boyd, Griffen, Ward and Morris.
The recruiting leaves a lot to be desired with most of the newcomers failing to impress with the possible exception of Dahlhaus who brightens up our day. Our current position on the ladder is where we should be which isn't a good sign.

Really?

At the start of the season we would have expected to get more out of Lake & Cooney who are best 2 players, having these guys fit for longer than they have been would have given us atleast 3 or 4 extra wins this year which would have us sitting in 6th or 7th spot.

Agree. We shouldn't lose sight of this.
