Rhys Mathieson is apparently on the move. We do well out of Brisbane outcasts.

I think it's not what it appears for James. The club with Chris Scott (or maybe just Chris Scott) moved on all their assistant coaches at the end of 2021. They wanted a fresh coaching team.

Where this gets tricky is that some of the assistants were club legends (is this starting to sound familiar) and actually didn't deserve to be sacked. But new ideas were asked for. The cats did alright the following year from memory.
Rahilly might be welcomed back as he has gained important external experience and success.

I hope he stays with us. Another asset worth protecting IMO.

Our program doesn’t provide important experience and nor have we had success. Our forward line improvement was largely due to Nicks eventually realising that an entry strategy that prioritised easibility of defence was horrifically flawed.
 
I'm not sure why people are (1) laying into Rahilly for heading back home to Geelong (2) laying into us for having the Assistant Coach of the Year move on (after we took him from Geelong in the first place)!!

It's a good sign that under Nicks he went from a good Development Coach to Assistant Coach of the Year - right?

Good luck to him, thanks for the hard work while we were a complete shitshow ... now, not so much.
Because he is in contract and there are rules when you have to advise a club your leaving so they have adequate time to find another coach.

He also applied for the Essendon list manager's role, a move back home must have been on the cards for awhile.

The club would be aware and probably already were looking for a replacement.

He was one of the geelong assistants that was let go because of covid. That's why it's stupid for him to go back there. They preferred their other assistants to him.

It would be more understandable if he was going to any other vic club. He actually applied for the list manager role at essendon and I didn't think anything of it.

Where does it actually say that he was let go for COVID reasons, though? Can’t find it anywhere
 
Pink’s going to North
North Melbourne, for real? On what kinda contract I wonder… he might end up trash at AFL level but considering our KPD woes could we really not convince him to stay in SA and rookie him or something? No idea if we were even that interested but I’d seriously rather us take a punt on a mid 20s player from the SANFL than farken Lemmens. Another Wilkie must be out there somewhere…
 


We should be going to his manager with a 7 year 1+ million deal and see what happens

Absolutely, along with every potential gun young midfielder.

See who we can shake loose.
