Re: So who wants to coach the dogs now?
I really think Bombers a chance or Montgomery.
We say we have no chance of bomber but we are the only side in Melbourne without a coach and he doesn't want to be an assistant, he will be somewhere next year and in thinking more its us everyday.Bring back the biff -

Re: So who wants to coach the dogs now?
Minson won me over today. I was pleased with his interview. Was stern about Griffen and clearly in the club's corner. Very statesman-like. Dare I say captain like.
The pragmatist in me still says trade him, though.
With Cordy, Campbell and now Boyd, something has to give..Comment

Re: So who wants to coach the dogs now?
I'd hate to send Boyd into the ruck yet, even for short stints. Something Dougy once said about leaving a Ferrari named Chris in the garage on slick days at Whitten Oval comes to mind. Lets not dint our new Porsche in the monster truck derby of the ruckComment

Re: So who wants to coach the dogs now?
I'm not suggesting Boyd should play ruck. I'm suggesting that Campbell will not be able to rest forward next to him. Not without throwing the forward line badly out of balance, that is...
Ditto Cordy and Minson. So if Cordy and Campbell are to progress, Minson really has to give... Or we simply trade Campbell or Cordy at some point... But, for value, Minson is the one to deal if the right offer comes.Comment

Re: So who wants to coach the dogs now?
Gary Ayres/ Brett Rattan/Brenton Sanderson - Rodney seems to have pulled out of coaching going by his comments. I feel we need a senior coach with experience in the game after the BMac experiment. Someone the players have to admire for their achievements on the field or as coach. To directly answer the thread though - Who wouldn't want to be given the opportunity to coach this developing group of young players? The question for me is: Do we have a spill of all assistants and let the new coach( if he has experience) choose his own team or keep the existing assistants and maintain a sense of continuity?Comment

Re: So who wants to coach the dogs now?
Minson may have spoken in favour of staying at the Dog's as unlike other players wanting to leave he had no suitors.
If rumors are true the club will have to have words with him and he will have to adjust his attitude or we will risk losing kid's in the near future.
Sorry, to get back on track IMO Ratts would be in front at this stage.It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.Comment

Re: So who wants to coach the dogs now?
Insignificant piece of info. really but I've just realised that Tom Boyd would likely to have been a junior at Norwood in the EFL during Ratten's 2 year coaching stint with their second division seniors. Coming from a fanatical Carlton family, this would not have been lost on a young Tom. Might they be united to bring us our precious.Comment
