Some people who know the inner sanctum going ons at the club said Sam Power who currently works at the club would be a good fit for McKay's role if he is moved on (fingers crossed).

Wiley is our current coaching director, no? I do like him...up to him whether he stays though IMO

 

[Jimmae]

Wasn't Craig being sized up for a role that revolved around sports science and high performance training?

Can do both.

 

[Jimmae]

Can do both.

Yup, but MWNN is potting him as a director of coaching, is he not?

 

[HBF]

Not that fussed about Craig if it's true, although getting more good footy people into the club can only help.

 

[Dramoth]

Where else will he get "reliable information"?

#EFA for truth and accuracy!

 

[Dramoth]

There maybe changes on board level,can't say to much at this stage.

probably Ruffy going. And Jeanie...

 

[Dramoth]

It's similar to the way Dramoth was left embarrassed by John Barker this year after years of baseless slander. Very few people on BigFooty have any idea what an assistant coach is doing or how good they are.

I still stand by my assertions that he isnt an assistant coaches arseh*le... however, he does have it in him to make a very good senior coach.

I haven't been left embarrassed by anything I said.

Yeah what he's doing at Tulla at the moment is solely Director of Coaching style. Overseeing the Football Department. Not Sport Science at all.

 

[Warsaw]

After a couple of recent highs, getting Craig would be a seriously uninteresting/uninspiring get. Maybe a decade ago, but not now.

We should be hitting up the AIS for these roles, or even look internationally.

Sam Maclure just mentioned on radio that carlton are interested in Rhys Palmer

Is he interested in Carlton?

 

[passmark]

Really? We should all jump on to Neil Craig because he's had a couple of good results years ago coaching Adelaide?

Since then he's been around when the players revolted in Adelaide, Melbourne and judging by their performances Essendon as well.

I'm not saying that he is responsible for these outcomes but he sure as hell can't claim to have prevented them. High risk - Not suitable!

John Barker isn't responsible for Micks results, went ok i reckon.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

I've got no issue with Craig. Given Bolton's youth and relative inexperience, happy to have a few blokes on staff who have been around. Craig knows his stuff imo.

And his five daughters?

This doesn't thrill me with confidence in our list strategies to be honest. Hoping that one isn't true.

I thought I heard that Wiley was considering a move back to WA for a senior coaching role in the WAFL.

God I hope not.

Really? A 27y.o. mid.

Sounds a bit odd and maybe not quite befitting of a re-build profile.

The best thing Craig has going for him is Trigg's intimate knowledge of what sort of an operator he is and what his capabilities are. Hopefully that's enough to ensure Craig is a good appointment if comes to Carlton.

Palmer has been playing half forward and sneaking a heap of goals of late. Very similar to how Armfield is for us...but still, agree it doesn't go with what we're aiming for.

I reckon I've heard us linked with about 10 GWS player...I wonder why...

 

[Nathan88]

Do we know if SOS is going to continue with the previous recruiting style of former top draft picks under 23?

 

[Nori]

I'd personally prefer the Blues to go after Worsfold as their Director of Coaching.

Premiership coach. Wrote the coaches course for the AFL. Track record of success wherever he's been.

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Were*

I just don't think Craig's done a good job at all. Our selections, gameplan, all of it has just been a shambles this year. Hirdy wasn't a great coach, however this year it's seemed 1000 times worse. The difference between 2011 to 2013, and this year? Craig overseeing and being in charge of everything. It's seemed as if there's been very little coherence between different areas of the coaching team.

Hell the only coach earning his money this year is Mark Neeld, he's in charge of development. He's been great.

You guys were going OK until WADA took the wind out your sails.

 

[ManWithNoName]

You guys were going OK until WADA took the wind out your sails.

WADA doesn't justify the bizarre selections and atrocious gameplan though. There were major issues you couldn't lay at the feet of WADA or the players.
