Bluemour Melting Pot XXXI - Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[DarkAsLastNight]

Okay. I've learnt an early lesson. Keep it short.

I think Sayers is shrewd not silly.

I genuinely feel that Clarkson will be coach.

But then I did tell my five adult kids 18 months back

'Covid won't last"

Re Assistants at Port, maybe we're looking at the wrong one?

Jarrad Schofield (Port Adelaide)

After leading WAFL club Subiaco to premierships in 2014, 2015 and 2018, Schofield was snapped up by Port Adelaide ahead of the 2019 season. He is in charge of the midfield in a team that came within a kick of a Grand Final appearance in 2020. Noted for his ability to communicate with experienced stars and young draftees equally well, he is leading a dynamic midfield at the Power.

He my pick for a first timer but my vote didn't count for much looks like I only one -- hope he brings Montgomery with him to coach our defence ..

 

[Arr0w]

Are you saying that being a VFL head coach is more valuable experience than being a senior assistant at AFL level? Cause I can assure you that's not how AFL teams value it.

A more rounded experience, calling all the shots as opposed to being instructed by the head coach

 

[Garters]

at 10am though?

Yep, First Wed after the grand final

 

[zeggie]

I can't understand why there are people who have any hope of securing Chris Scott as our coach.

There is no chance. Why would he leave in the middle of a premiership window?

Maybe because this is the squad going into 2022

30 - Duncan, Guthrie, Dahlhaus
31 - Stanley, Rohan
32 - Tuohy, Henderson
33 - Danger, Smith, Hawkins, Jenkins
34 - Selwood, Higgins

14 players who have played (practically) 0 games

And outside of that are Stewart, Cameron and Guthrie and only ~9 arguably meh players remaining.

Maybe he may entertain jumping ship before 1/3 of the list are in a retirement home.

Thank you for the writing advice - I hadn't realised that Big Footy had a style guide. I thought the piece did a little more than write an unfortunately long paragraph. I'll keep it very short from now on.

No need to keep short...just break it up a bit so it's not so daunting to read!

If we are trying to improve our culture on and off field he is not someone we should be looking at.

I’m happy the club are clamping down on leaks, but I’m also significantly disgruntled that they’re clamping down on leaks and I don’t know what’s going on anymore. Just give us something Sayers.. we’re bleeding over here!

"Another picky one".

Shaun Burgoyne off to Port Adelaide. Great get for them

Good decision by Shaun. The "go home" welcoming combined with not coaching at a club you have just retired at. I think it is very important for players to go to another club to begin their coaching journey rather than "stay on" as a development coach or assistant.

Would have been the family pull of home as well. His wife is a SA girl (Greg Phillips daughter)

How on earth am I meant to keep up with work and Bigfooty now?

someone needs to post in the no discussion that there's a hot hot hot rumour in the melting pot thread that will get posted in the no discussion thread soon

Add:
By round 1 next year:
Menegola 30 Blicavs 31
Stewart and Cameron 29

Parfitt is their best player outside that lot...

 

[Garters]

I want Voss like I want the black plague

Pretty sure there's some middle ground of displeasure between getting Voss and a desire for the Plaugue! But I am with you on Voss, have not been a real fan as a head coach option generally. Good assistant material.

Looks like i'm staying up tonight.
