Senior List
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that any new assistant coaches/ development coaches should NOT be big names. Too often in the AFL ( at all levels) we look at a very small pool of people and many get recycled from one ( often highly paid) job to another.
Luke Beveridge coached in the amateurs but keen observers saw him take his club to multiple flags in increasingly competitive grades. Don Pyke was a businessman, board member and local coach before he was targeted.
Please don't say Robert Harvey (Brownlow medallist, must be a good coach), Jimmy Bartel ( champion player, good head for TV but no coaching experience), etc.
Find someone who has proven that they can teach skills at a high level, read the game and provide insight ( not read a sheet of stats) and bring a new perspective to our game plan which is very mundane and stale at the moment.
