Leon Cameron: why and why not?

Re: Leon Cameron: why and why not?

Silly arguement re. Premiership player.
Tony Shaw, Watson, Voss, the list is endless.
Clarkson was at Melbourne when North won in 96.
I'm prepared to suck it and see if Leon is appointed.

I won't be happy if they can't coach.

I don't think Leon is the best applicant as he has been at the club for too long so that alone makes him not a good candidate.

So Buckley should not get the coaching job at Collingwood going by your theory.

Re: Leon Cameron: why and why not?

Clarkson had been a succesful coach at SANFL level at Central District. IIRC he started the successful run that centals have enjoyed since. He was picked up by Port on the strength of his SANFL record. IIRC Alan Joyce was also succesful at WAFL level.
So, I feel that some level of success is beneficial to be a successful coach at AFL level.
Nothing against Leon, I would rather someone from the outside looking in without any history with the players and a licence to do whatever they feel needs to be done with our playing list.

And Peter Rhode was successful with Norwood.

Relevance?

Re: Leon Cameron: why and why not?

Leon may be the best candidate, he is worth the shot as long as he has some experienced assistants.

Regardless of his history he will bring a fresh approach.

I dont know who the best candidate is but hopefully the process is correct.

Im not saying that having sucess at a lower level of football is a guarantee that success will automatically transfer to sucess at the highest level, but, isnt it better to experience success as opposed to not.
Some posters are saying that some current coaches have not won any AFL premierships and my point is that some of them have won premierships coaching their own sides at State League level prior to entering the AFL coaching system.
