That will be a measure of his ability as a manager and leader - I have no doubts he will do well.Woosha won’t do that, he willrespect the coach and not do anything to undermine anyone imo. It all would have been laid out before they even considered bringing him in.
Absolutely. He's a pro.Woosha won’t do that, he will
May I intrude
As a Crows fan, we were very grateful for the role that Worsfold played at the club supporting our coaches after the passing of Phil Walsh, and Pyke did an excellent job as coach until the wheels fell off.
Both excellent gets for your club imho. All the best for next year, very keen to see the Eagles rise up the ladder again

Next minute, we bring back Nisbett.
But seriously woosha is the perfect leader for new coach to navigate through the times. He will be a calming voice.

Absolutely elated that Woosh is back at the club. Even moreso that he has been chosen for the football director role. Couldn't have picked a more appropriate person for the position.

Interview on 6PR
Really interesting and Woosh speaks at length about the role and what it involves
As he talks, it becomes clear just how good a fit he is for the position
Pyke has done really well getting himself acclimatised to the club and identifying where/what we need to improve.
Has taken his time but is now putting his plan into action

The main criticism from the players at Essendon was that Woosh was coaching too much like a director of coaching and not spending enough time investing in personal relationships with players the way modern senior coaches are expected to.
He is all about empowering others within leadership roles to own their positions. This is the literal opposite of a micro-manager. Was he formerly a senior coach at West Coast and elsewhere? Yes. Will he try to do McQualters job for him, covet the senior coach role, or undermine him in any way? Absolutely not.
This role is something he has been preparing for for at least a decade and in many ways a role and space he has almost defined for the industry in order for himself to one day step into. Others have done it but I doubt any will have done it to the level of excellence he will.
He will excel in the role, it will allow the coaching groups across all the programs and other teams within the organisation to maximise their potential, and he's probably in a space of his own in the AFL world in terms of fitting this role perfectly. This appointment is probably the single biggest thing that we have done in this entire rebuild, and ensures our system gets back toward being the best system in football- which is the environment that tends to get the best results out of draftee's. Its now hopefully going to be less about needing to nail that player who will make it no matter what because they are just gun players with high footy iq, as opposed to being able to turn out a future best 22 player from anywhere in the draft because being here actually makes people better.
