Analysis Assistant Changes for 2023

[all seeing eye]

Kingsley approached Monty and he declined so I assume hes staying on.

Lots of rumours about Schofield and his tenure at Port and how how it ended, but have they ever been backed up with facts? It gets talked about as factual on here but not sure that’s the case.

The silence of deafening, maybe you will hear what happened at a sportsman’s night, but if it didn’t happen the club or someone would come and kill the ‘rumors’

I heard that he told ken there's more to coaching tactics than "working hardery". Daddy donuts told him to "have a good day"

That's a succinct way of putting it. My understanding is along similar lines- Schofield understood tactics, while Ken thought they were a small mint.

As for assistants in '23, I'd say there's so much going on in the background all over the league, SANFL included. I know Francou was head-hunted for the West Adelaide job and declined, so his name is out there. Godden was also asked.

All of those sorts of decisions will shape AFL assistant roles. I know a couple of guys that know Rutten quite well and it's been pretty quiet at this stage.

I'm not saying I doubt sobrave, but this so oncisely epitomizes what Hinkley lacks you almost wonder whether it has to be true. Hinkleys whole ethos especially on game day seems to be stick to the game plan and if you work harder you will defeat the opposition. As if our gameplan, our football strategy, is infallible. So many times we lose games because we lose games because lack versatility, a plan B, or a move is made a quarter after it was blindindly obvious one needed to be made.

If Carr is coming then the announcement will be this week you’d think.

Perhaps it also lets other positions fall too.

The Carr speculation appears to have some traction/credibility.

I wonder if Carr will ‘bring’ some Freo or WA players with him?

 

[FishingRick04]

Putting better resources into development eg Basset to SANFL development and coaching would be a good thing.

Imagine Carr, Graham, Schofield and Rutten coming across dreaming I know. A fresh reboot is needed.

Part of me thinks was the precinct delivered at the right time? Could the funds be used better elsewhere?

Apparently a host of ex-Port players, including AFL ones such as Braddles, Delaney, Rohan Smith, et al were given special guided tours of the new development thus far, and the refurbished Williams stand upgrade, etc.

Were bowled over by it all.

Seems like it's a bit of a conduit for them to re-connect with the club even more, so I think the timing was about right for that part of it.

I heard this live at the weekend.

Bell seemed surprised by the Caroline question on 3AW, he replied; Carr's missus is from Adelaide (and they have four kids).
Therefore, IF it was the case (true) he said; Freo would not stand in his/their way.

Bell than ducked a question that he might be up for the North CEO job.
Oh, well; maybe Josh can facilitate some trades with Freo (Freo needs picks for their Jackson ruckman Melbourne trade)

Imagine that then realise old Kenny is still here for another year.....!

Add Yze, Solomon and Hansen to that quartet, and you'd have a damn good coaching panel

There's just one component to that Dream Team (whose name was not mentioned) - and which could bugger the whole plan up.

Just can't Think of the bloke's name though................

 

[all seeing eye]

Reckon Yze ends up as Dons coach. Excellent resume.

 

[Byrons Firen]

Carr his highly rated at Freo:

• Excellent tactician
• Attack-oriented
• High standards and expectations
• Demands excellence

So, in summary, a professional coach, in the PAFC tradition- the kind we always had until the monorail salesman we have at the moment.

Saw sweet *all of this on Saddee night 'cept when the game was done n dusted.

I remember Carr being part of the radio coverage for Port games while he was coaching the Roosters, he was generally pretty underwhelming with his comments. Hopefully he's sharpened up a bit since then.

Is/was he Freo's mid-field coach because they were walloped there by Collingwood. Look it's probably not on Carr what Freo served up but

sheesh both their finals were hard to watch. Stop start constipated stodge ball footy. It seemed like they were beaten before the first bounce.

Timid twitchy footy overseen by a coach who just sat there watching it unfold. The end result flattered them. If Collingwood hadn't kicked

something like 2-12 in the 2nd and 3rd qtrs it would've been a massacre. Seems like he's coming our way so it's arms folded in wait n see

mode for me. I didn't pay any attention to his time at Nth Adel or how the Roosters played under him. I read on these threads plenty of

posters are happy to have him... well I hope they're are right.

I agree with a lot of that, and really, regardless of who we eventually get, I won’t be getting too excited too soon.

right now. Come on people. Stockholm Syndrome has no place at Alberton. We must move Hinkley on now.
Edit: Have his replacement in place.

Hinks aint going anywhere, him and Donna re getting the BBQ cleaned so they can suss the new game plan out with Kochie on his return.

Maybe an assistant we are after is still in finals, otherwise what's the hold up with anything?

The talk about Carr coming and then leading the team kinda makes sense, why else would you come here when the senior coach is probably gone next year, are you going to bring your family to Adelaide for a disrupted couple of years?

Wouldn't suprise me if it's like last year, we end up with Bob from Mildura seconds....

I hope the return of Josh Carr from Freo is nothing like is last return from Freo

I don’t think any of us have doubts about Ken having to go, but I think we're just a bit cautious about getting our hopes up too soon. We've been burnt before.

Rohan Smith would know about being bowled over in that space, in its previous form. A long time ago, after a premiership win, I saw him perform a kind of controlled fall, his bald head sliding across a wall until it and his hands found a corner where he was able to gain some... stability.
