Too early to make any call on Bickley's coaching prowess, given that we were playing the worst team in the comp.
He gets points for playing Knights, Dangerfield and van Berlo in the mid-field (31, 27 and 30 disposals respectively), but really that wasn't rocket science. I think many of us would have liked to see these players played in their correct positions for some time. More of a minus for Craig rather than a huge plus for Bicks.
We did have more aggro and we took a heap of risks - some which could have hurt us against a decent side.
Bickley gets a pass for the night, but that's about it. It doesn't enhance any claims in isolation for Bicks to be appointed as Craig's successor.
I'll be more interested in how we perform against quality teams such as Geelong.
Totally agree
IMO the interview process will hold more weight than W/L over the next 6 weeks as this process should really test all candidates in terms of list assessment, game plan, on and off field stuctures, cultural values, football philosophy, leadership, people management etc etc
Bickley's biggest change is convincing the sub committee that he can inject new ideas and freshness
