    Coach Coach for 2025

    Really like Enright but I reckon he is firmly in the “wrong time, wrong place” camp. Young kids, both he & his wife have businesses in VIC. He’d be hard to move, but hey, here’s hoping money talks 🤑

    Coach Coach for 2025

    Saw a mention for Corey Enright as a candidate. Looked up his coaching history - I like it. History in development. “Enright joined Geelong's coaching team for the 2017 season, beginning as a development coach before becoming an assistant coach and helping Geelong reach finals in each year of...

    Coach Coach for 2025

    Actually like the recent Cox announcement. Would have loved for him to have been in the mix but stops the speculation & at least rules out an “old boy.” Sure they are already but may also widen the clubs scope for next coach.

    Coach Coach for 2025

    Duff threw up an interesting one this morning - Scott Selwood… who is ‘highly regarded’. Very young for a senior coach. But when you think about some of the older guys e.g. Cox, Buckley etc. who likely dont want to upend their families, particularly if not from the West, which works in our...

    Coach Adam Simpson Megathread est. 2017 - Skip to 2024: Simpson coaching tenure officially ends

    Without going back over previous posts & certainly not an advocate for sacking the coach, but, who would be the best option for WC's next coach? Hypothetically for 2025? Current assistants, current coach out of contract?

    List Mgmt. Welcome Harley Reid (Pick 1, 2023 National Draft)

    What could seriously be done to stop it? The Worst wouldn't take notice, they'd love it I guess, as its more about clicks than content now, but geez it'd be good to get a large contingent of likeminded supporters to write a strongly worded email to that outlet pleading to stop the harassment of...

    Unpopular opinion… but here it goes.. old Hammer Brayshaw sure has tickets on himself these days doesn’t he? And a bit of salt towards West Coast (prob understandable… after the WAFL clean out, but still…)

    Strategy Back of House Discussion: Targets, Changes, Appointments & Facilities

    As much I've been wanting some 'outside of WC influences', I like this appointment. Think Pyke has had enough 'outside' experience to be a great CEO for the club. Has all the right attributes and experiences and coming from a successful and culture first club like Sydney is great for us...

    Yeah agreed, but I think this is telling in itself as to the lack of change / things are not overly harmonious amongst the powers that be. It's just annoying OK!...

    Strategy Back of House Discussion: Targets, Changes, Appointments & Facilities

    To say I'm disheartened by WC's lack of change is an understatement. There has been absolutely nothing other than a shuffling of the decks in coaching ranks. Not even communication on a review of some description, after a disastrous few years feels like such a slap in the face. The club is going...

    Yep, hard to argue with this. Below is from an article when starting out at Adelaide.

    Strategy Back of House Discussion: Targets, Changes, Appointments & Facilities

    Allow me to add another complete hypothetical to the mix. I think the club should go hell for leather to add Travis Boak to their development coaching panel. He is an elite preparer, has a lot of experience in the AFL from his club being in the doldrums to regular finalists, dealing with taggers...

    Interesting, yeah cant I say I know him personally! Which si always a risk putting a bold statement out there, but I do like his story. Can I ask what the issues were? Cheers

    Coach If not Simpson, then WHO

    I like the idea of Jaymie Graham for a few reasons (and not because he's an ex Eagle) He's had experience at different AFL Clubs Saints, Eagles & Freo Plus senior WAFL coaching experience. (inc. AFL premiership coaching panel) He has had a rough upbringing and brings with him a story of real...

    Totally agree, the club should be moving heaven & earth to get the absolute best in the industry into the footy dept (GM & Ops) and possibly more importantly Development Manager. Nothing wrong with promoting from within but not with the results we've since since these appointments. No disrespect...

    Totally agree with this! The good sides seem to have strong & visible footy managers & feel like Vozzo was certainly one of those. Think we need a stronger figure in this position. Nothing against Bell, I just concur with your comments, a quiet character etc. When atm we don't need meek & mild...
