News 2020 Trade and Coaching Rumours

[SaltPeter]

No wonder he looks happier now

Essendon winning a few games probably helps too

 

[Mego Red]

I assume it would be a remote role? Didn't he want to go home? (Worsfold)

Said in the media that he will stay in the AFL industry next year.

I think a lot of us have changed plans from what we thought we'd be doing.

 

[Crow till I die]

No chance we could try and get luke hodge down here..sam mitchell?..

 

[1970crow]

Too early for Scott Thompson to return. Needs to spend the next 5 years minimum in another system

Nothing screams culture change more than bringing back one of the good old boys at earliest opportunity. Injured for a final, don't be silly, of course you'll play, I'm a big believer that, "you always put your hand up for finals".

I think he knows that he's going to get the Hawthorn job in a couple of years.

His wife moved back to Perth quite a long time back. Worsfold has been public in stating that he is interested in continuing his career in football and would be open to new offers.

Maybe a stretch, certainly not fiction. On the other hand Pyke spoke extensively to Worsfold prior resigning last year. Worsfold may not want anything to do with the club.

And on another note, Essendon fans had largely had a gut full of Worsfold last year, however accepted the clubs succession plan to Rutten. It's also seems Carracella is being credited by the fan base for their improvement this year.

Caracella is the one I'd be keen on as a senior assistant. He's been in some good systems and would know what success needs.

Collingwood 2007-2009 - Malthouse
Geelong 2010-2015 (2 flags) - Thompson, Scott
Richmond 2016-2019 (2 flags) - Hardwick
Essendon 2019-now - Worsfold

If he needed to be enticed further, I wouldn't mind offering him the coaching director role even though he hasn't been a senior coach.

An excellent resume

Director of Coaching - Caracella
Head Coach - Nicks
Midfield - Lenny Hayes
Defence - Harry Taylor
Forwards - Brendan Lade
SANFL - Godden

Couldn't quite find space for Ben Hart

 

[Joey JoJo Jr Shabadoo]

There’s some value in former senior coaches as assistants. What’s Dean Laidley up to these days?

Yep .. pretty hard to see him leaving the Bombers right now though

 

[Mego Red]

Caracella has just moved to Essendon, and he's being given most of the praise for their current success. He's not coming.

 

[Betts are off]

I've been quite high on Nathan Bassett for a long time. We all know what he did at Norwood, but his AFL coaching resume is starting to be quite impressive, especially at Port.

In 2 years as a defensive coach he took the 11th best defense to the 2nd and 3rd most stingy defenses in the AFL. With pretty much no name players at the time.

When he took over as the Forward coach Port were 12th in scoring (and just lost Wingard), and now Port currently have the 2nd most potent attack after only 1 season.

Its hard to garner too much after his Essendon days due to the Peptide scandal from the years before he got there, but the bottom line is the man has done some wonderful things in coaching. I would not hesitate to have him on staff!

Having said that Port would be insane to let him go, especially to us.

I think this year is a bit early to make any calls about their forward line. They have played us, Freo, WC and GC, lost to brisbane but had a good win v GWS.

Take the game v us and Freo out -> How's their attack looking?

Neil Craig's probably got a bit of spare time too

We could set up weekly Zoom chats.

If those people don't align with existing philosophies, they won't be getting employed at our club. We're just putting new tyres on a broken down piece of garbage. Chapman, Roo and Fagan need to go. And quite possibly every person that they've had a hand in employing in the footy dept.

 

[1970crow]

2 grams a day.

You see I hate that argument though. Take out this performance or that performance to downplay a teams accomplishment. But if you do that to Port then you have to do the same for every other team in the AFL as well and see how they are tracking without their better performances.

If you could be bothered doing all that then you’ll probably find Port are still in the top echelon of sides for scoring right now.

Better off just accepting that we are over 1/3rd of the way through the season and Port are scoring with regularity and potency.

Probably has some strong opinions on performance requirements and prepared to voice them. Not really our type.

Agree you need to do it for all teams.

Maybe we just wait another 6 or 7 rounds before making a judgement. I'm not saying they won't be at the pointy end, just it's a bit too early to call it in IMO

The Power is back in Port Adelaide, and Ken Hinkley's job is safe

No AFL coach entered 2020 under more pressure than Port Adelaide's Ken Hinkley. But six rounds into the season, his side is a win…

Happy to do that. But just so you know in the next 2 rounds they are playing the 2nd and 6ths leakiest defences of 2020.

So there’s a good chance that go further up before they go down
