Re: Its done now,who will take over?

Its all about structure and game plan. Agree Desi. Paul Roos said that earlier in the year.

Our first challenge is getting the selection panel right. Leigh Matthews is the person whose judgement I would trust. If Cameron got the job after Matthews had run his eye over him, I would have confidence he was the best selection.

Sometimes people who have been part of a successful team have been very lucky, they may not have contributed in a big way to that success and sometimes they don't recognize what the subtle things were that created that success. They just happen to have been there doing a job. However if Malthouse and Hird and Thompson endorse Neeld, McCarthy and Sanderson then you would think they have the makings.

But lets get Leigh Matthews on the panel he obviously knows what it takes.

I'm almost certain he's helping Melbourne out.

I stand to be corrected, though!

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

Yeah, no.

Collingwood haven't had many injuries - at all. A week here and there hardly counts.

Yeh youre right, nah you're wrong
Toovey, Jolly, Brown, Shaw suspended and their full forward in Dawes have been out for a lengthy time this season. Didak is not 100 per cent fit but is playing.

You might want to do some research.

Jolly and Brown - sure. However, it's not like they couldn't replace Brown. They wouldn't be able to fit him, Tarrant and Reid in the same side anyway.

Toovey missed about 2 or 3 weeks?

It doesn't compare to Lake, Cooney (our best two by far), Hargrave, Sherman and now Williams & Morris.

You might want to use logic. Collingwood have a solid run with injuries.

How long has Toovey been out? I'm using logic you are covering one eye. First you say they have not had long term injuries, I proved they have and then you compare our long term injured players and you mention Sherman, Williams and Morris who only just got injured.
Cooney and Lake are our only 2 long term injuries along with Hargrave who is cooked!

Toovey would be ranked about 15-22 in Collingwood's best players.

Lake & Cooney sit no. 1 & 2 in ours.

I was simply listing our group to highlight its continued growth. By that logic, you can take out Shaw too. He's played most of the season.

Read Mantis' post above.

Lake and Cooney are our two best players and at their best would be in the top 10 of AFL players IMO.

Toovey, Brown and alike are not. They aren't overly hard to replace.

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

SCOTT WATERS current assistant Collingwood, won 2 premierships in WAFL with Subiaco and played in glory days at Eagles, apparently a great leader, communicator, tactician etc etc

If we are going with a rookie coach he would be my pick over Cameron and other

Someone from Essendon? ruled themselves out today - didn't catch it properly.
Wallis?????

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

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

I don't think it would be no where as big as he Thompson situation, he was still wanted as coach by Geelong. Mick has been given the arse in that role.

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

Surprised to see MM second favourite - bit of hope then!

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

$12 for either of those two looks attractive to me.

Bazza at $41... I think they left a zero off the end.

They left more zero's than that for Dougie

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

Laidley is just the hard-nosed bastard we need right now to steer us through the next 3 years. He has proved he can manage a club on an oily rag and can make the tough decisions. As others have mentioned, look at appointing the appropriate coach when our list has been exposed to more experience.

There is not one name being bandied about that gives me any confidence. If you are going to get rid of the best coach for the club, at least replace him with a safe option and someone who is external to the club and can provide the MC with some hard, unbiased truths about the condition of the list.

This.

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

He has never experienced the ultimate success, to me that is the most important thing. Unless he has played in a GF or coached as an assistant in a GF then forget it. How would he know how to prepare for one if we some how got there?

Assistants?
I would be happy just to get in a granny first
