Our VFL side

Re: Our VFL side

The interesting part is that we are now challenged with finding a coach that can develop players rather than necessarily winning games of football. I think that is a big challenge.

There are plenty of good coaches but I suspect past win loss ratios aren't that important for what we are looking for

Yep, I'd concur with that.

Scott West, Rohan Smith, Peter German if any of them want it for mine.

Who ever we select must follow the senior coach style and philosophies so an internal candidate makes sense.

It does, we need someone who's happy to have developing our players as a priority over winning games.

Re: Our VFL side

I sometimes wonder why we cannot consider our own former champions in the same way that Buckley Hird Voss and Worsfold have been rewarded. With that in mind I would prefer that an approach be made to Scott West. I recall Brad Johnson commenting on the positive influence that West had when they were team mates together.

I agree with this. If Scotty West is still wanted at Werribee, then why not Gia. He has been doing some coaching at junior levels and is a great mentor to some of the young Bulldog players. I think he would be excellent for developing and he knows what Macca is looking for.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Re: Our VFL side

Ling could walk straight in you would think. So could Gia. Heaps of great options really. Would only make sense if we are keeping Macca however. If we were going to get someone like Roos in 12 months I think the VFL coach would be a more complex consideration.

Re: Our VFL side

I like the idea of Gia if he's interested and is in fact retiring at the end of this season. He's been taking on a bit of coaching from the bench on game days and is often seen talking to BMac at quarter time changes. Could make a good combo and Gia certainly has a passion for this Club and for it's future success.

Also, where would our VFL side have as their game day home ground?

I'm pretty sure that Whitten Oval has been announced as the home ground for our VFL side.

The club still needs funding to bring it up to standard, but I don't believe its official yet.

Hope this comes to fruition then. Would be great for the local area as well as the Club.

Needs a fence first.
