      Hard to say without having an idea at what lengths these conversations were.

      Asking Paul Roos if he is interested and him saying no isn't really what I would call a meeting about the coaching position. Asking Mick Malthouse if he was interested and him saying I'll get back to you promptly at the seasons end might have a bit more to it.

        The meetings are not for the coaching position. It is to help with what qualities to look for etc. It is to help offset having no coaching experience on the panel.

        Hope this clarifies what the tweet was about.

          I hear that there is a bit of interest in Choco Williams.

              Seems Sportsbet agrees he's some sort of chance - 5th favourite for the Bulldogs' position and second favourite for Melbourne's. Agree that it is a scary thought - I'd prefer a younger coach.

                  Anyone else concerned about the number of people within football who seem to have Cameron just about over the line? If it was one or two I wouldn't be worried but it's a lot more than that.

                      The Age article today certainly has talked him up - you have to wonder how much the club is painting a positive picture of him pre-appointment to get us used to the idea.

                      Sure he has a football brain, but is that enough as a coach?

                        I guess it's understandable that Smorgon and Fantasia will have some notion as to their preferred candidate(s) going into the selection process. They've had a while to think about this and it's only human nature to start to form an opinion.

                        It would be a massive concern if they have made their minds up and the process from here on is just window dressing.

                        The strength of the leaks about Leon does raise concerns about their having already made up their minds. Any concerns could be alleviated to a degree by Smorgon stating that Leon is of course a strong candidate but there is a fantastic field lining up and the panel is open-minded about who to recommend to the Board.

                          I hope so - from memopry Clarkson wasn't anywhere near the favourite at the Hawks until the selection process started, yet he was chosen and he's certainly a successful choice.

                            So most people here are against Leon Cameron?

                              Not me. I don't know enough about any of them to have a firm opinion.

                                I think most of the people here that are 'against' Cameron are more against him getting the job primarily because he is a Bulldog/known quantity. I am in this category. If we go through the right process and end up with Cameron, I will be happy.
