Re: Its done now,who will take over?

Im leaning towards Malthouse as well, but cant see it happening. I think it will be a 1st year coach and my candidates would be Neeld, McCartney and Sanderson. All have been involved in premierships in their coaching ranks, and all come from teams that have a GREAT game plan, and plenty of success with it. I dont want Cameron. Dont think we can afford to go down the "old dog player returns" road. We need someone to come in and make the changes needed.

Im shattered Rocket has gone though.

The list is what it is.

Is Eade the best coach we could have? Absolutely.

This.

While assessing prospective candidates who've only served as assistants is fraught, there isn't a name amongst those being bandied about who elicits immediate enthusiasm. It's all pie in the sky, untested or underwhelming stuff. And there's at least two other competitors sniffing that list as well.

As a quick hypothetical if you pretend you're charged with landing a coach for another club, and toss Eade's name into that mix, he surely goes to the top of that list, or at worst ranks second to Malthouse, who's not a genuine candidate anyway.

What's more, Eade clearly wanted to remain.

One gathers Smorgon, Garlick and Co. feel they can install someone better credentialed. But who?

Remember, we're not rebuilding we're ahem, "refreshing", inferring we probably want someone with some measure of experience.

Then again, one wonders if the decision to hire a list manager comes at the expense of what we can afford to pay our senior coach, prompting interest in an untested type, with commensurate salary.

Does anyone seriously believe we have a chance of snagging Malthouse? Not going to happen.

We have to roll the dice on an untried coach and hope he's more Chris Scott and less Peter Rhode.

If we get it wrong, we're screwed.

It's called an opinion barn dog and for some reason if it differs from yours and some of the long time posters you dont seem to like it!

Hate is a big word.. We are only talking about footy.

You are completely wrong about me not liking different opinions to mine. What I don't like is opinions with no reasoning what so ever.
Btw it's bornadog,so please don't try and throw insults

We might be screwed regardless.

I posted a while back that I though we were in for some tough times even with Eade at the helm... I had faith he would see us through this period as he has a habit of getting the most out of willing players, but our new coach is really on a hiding to nothing with what really is a completely unbalanced list.

Good luck is all I say... Good luck.

If MM coaches next year, It will one of biggest lies in afl/vfl history. The number of times he has said no and Eddie has said no, I don't see it changing.
Not sure it makes him more appealing if it does happen. There would be many questions on why he would change his mind.

It would be like Bomber Thompson saying he will not coach at essendon last year when he quit at Geelong, and then goes to coach there. Hold on he is at Essendon coaching!

That's big but MM would be bigger. He has said no a lot more.

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

The one thing that the club needs is winning culture. My preference would be to not have a ex Dogs player as the coach next year. I know that sounds harsh, but just get a different outlook into the team. I think that is what Rocket brought. But if they are looking to the untried, then I'd go for German. Has succeeded with pretty much every coaching role he has taken on. Changes mind sets of clubs and good things seem to follow him.

Maybe they could get Bomber down at the kennel???

Hopefuly they get Neeld.

Mick will pay for himself in extra membership and support. The club has to just make him an offer he can't refuse.

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

Can't see Mick leaving Collingwood until end of next year. Of the untried coaches I'd love us to chase Brendan McCartney - I took part in a coaching session lead by Brendan a few years back at the Geelong Falcons and he is a fantastic teacher of the game. Was instrumental in setting up the Geelong midfield.

Some in Adelaide suggest its a done deal that Neeld will coach Crows
