Bluemour Melting Pot XXIX

[Jimmyonesix]

It's not the 90s anymore.

Hire a professional who understands professional football in this decade.

As the coach of port Melbourne he would of had to virtually run the club -- you would be confident he would have a grasp on operations of a football department and be able to liaise with the director to let the board know what is required ..

Buckley number 5?

Ross and Buckley?

 

[branedotorg]

Is this the Hamil thing again?

 

[GT619]

I’m hoping that they didn’t say no to “an offer they can’t refuse”. If that’s the case, I’d be worried about what “mix” they’re in. Hopefully ‘role’ is not a typo for ‘hole’.

We need a cultural change otherwise!



Seriously though, a very good rumour

Who's the front runner at this stage

 

[juzz88]

Ross Lyon? Johnny 5 was known as a SAINT prototype wasn’t it?

Correct ... S-A-I-N-T prototype.

Yeah, well... I was like 5 when I watched that movie on VHS, so I can't remember those sorts of details.

Screw you guys...

 

[Azzurro]

The quote is "Number 5 is alive!"

So I ask, does that mean number 5 from the earlier list (Teague)?

Or the famous number 5 wearing C Judd throwing his hat in the ring for something?

Clarkson pushing for a 5th premiership with Carlton?

Any of the other candidates associated with number 5?

TELL US EB!

 

[james Dean]

SPS will get a new deal?

[katmanblue]

It certainly smells like something is cooking

I got a whiff and I haven't slept for a week.

 

[katmanblue]

Number 5 is alive!

 

[TerryWallet]

Brad Scott also No.5

Hell, why am i playing this game. Oh that's right, it's midnight, wer're locked in, and the Olympics are done.

 

[Hands On]

Ive asked a few times and the answer has never been clear, in relation to the head of football job, who’s good? We can all theorise on coaches, most have a playing career and coaching CV, that’s been open for everyone to see, but who’s the next Balme? How do you or anyone else know?

i dont think us laymen have any idea. At the moment I dont think anyone in the club is capable of a competent selection. Lets hope the new standards also addressees the selection process for internal management decisions and not go with the poach the perceived best policies of the past.

 

[Hands On]

technology is a wonderful thing I have cracked the code.

 

[Juddrockz]

SPS will get a new deal?

#5 SPS out #5 Cerra incoming?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

But I don’t want Ross Lyon

 

[Blue Flame]

Weitering as playing coach.
cheers EB

 

[myblueroan]

Buckley

My first thought too.. 'number 5 is alive' my feeling...no way as H.C. but would be brilliant as Footy Head....lovely guy too and excellent communicator.
Admit bias as got to know him a little bit around the stables.
The Ross thing is more obscure...also was at Freo last not Saints...but hey, I' not familiar with how cryptic EB gets.

 

[NavyBlueHeaven]

3aw rumour file just had on through scorcher that Clarkson approached by Carlton and will let the Blues know this week.

 

[myblueroan]

But I don’t want Ross Lyon

You will have Lyon and...

I think you need to look at the clubs who are just very professional and make the right decisions time and time again to see who has a good footy boss.
Sydney, Richmond, Geelong, West Coast.
I’d say Port & Brissy as well

 

[Earls Smother]

Ive decided that next year I’ll be paying my membership on a conditional arrangement to match the players effort. $20 at round one, another $20 at round four, maybe another payment at round 10 and so on..

Liddle will likely structure it this way himself, then count it as 3 memberships.

Following a weekly text message that sees the dollar figure for said membership halving every week until it reaches zero

 

[jj1978]

As Clarko's journey with Hawthorn comes to an end in 2 weeks, and with the Hawks pulling off a couple of weeks since the "end" announcement, may have just lit that fire in his belly more-so to reconsider taking a hiatus. I still think with GC and GWS vulnerable to a possible coach change at the end of 2022 being the AFL's agenda, but Clarko doesn't want to move from VIC from reports. If it is Clarko we won't know till 2 weeks after seasons end;

1. We'll have to release Teague
2. Pretend we've done due diligence on his replacement by performing a super quick hiring process on all candidates, will possibly attempt to interview 4-5 who have no hope (like what happened with Teague, Voss pulled out because it was well known Teague would be picked).

 

[Pixelshooter]

I hear a lot of chatter about having to pay out Teague's remaining year if we sack him. But I can't imagine he's on that much...untried coach in his first full contract. Surely it's not much more than $450K?

 

[Sheephead]

Perhaps I'm too young to know. But why are people so vehemently against a role for gary ayres?

Because many on here are keyboard warriors who have never played a serious level of football and ‘think’ they know how to fix the club. Ayres has been very active in the coaching world and I ‘think’ he would make an astute choice. Tap Tap Tap………
