Coach Coach for 2025

[FKASC]

He got covid in the dirty taxi he was forced to ride

 

[Altum Volantes]

Insert Front Bar/The Bounce Quality joke about going to great lengths to avoid coaching West Coast

I'd be feeling physically ill at the thought of taking over our list too tbh

I think the pay may encourage me

Fair enough. Played under him at what level?

Was AFL listed, but was under him at VFL level.

Hurn back the club as a development coach.

Jobs for the boys.

To be fair, development coaching roles wouldnt pay that well. It wouldnt be easy to encourage someone from over east to come across for them. Probably has to be an ex eagle or docker really. Unless there is a retired player from another club living back here.

Is that confirmed?

Hope King is ok and as mentioned, it’s a one off circumstance.

I’m already preemptively annoyed at the media narrative either way - if he gets it then there are medical question marks for the future and if he doesn’t, then it’s because of medical question marks.

Sorry for intruding - Just my thoughts on Skipworth given I've watched him a lot during training the last few years.

He's really opened up, became more vocal when he was given more opportunity to lead. Under Bucks, it's either he was (like most) walking on eggshells, but under Fly.. I've heard him speaks more than I had before.
He is very vocal at trainings, in drills. Maybe it was the environment under Fly, but it's as if he was given freedom to speak his mind.

Even coached a few pre-season games over the last few years. Done interviews where he is very articulate in what he says. But has connected to the players really well. He isn't afraid to tell it how he sees it.
Feels like he sees the game really well, and understands what needs to be done.

Is that confirmed?

Yep, member's email from the club.

I completely agree. 300 game player, a premiership captain and multiple all Australian has nothing to teach 18 year olds coming in.

Victorians aren’t going to move their family for a development role that doesn’t pay anything.

Is that confirmed?

Hurn returns to Eagles nest

The 2018 premiership skipper will rejoin West Coast in a development coaching position

Calling it now - Hurn will be a senior coach one day somewhere

 

[Biggie]

Is that confirmed?

Hurn's resume and standards are about as good as you could hope to see from any player. Got the best out of himself consistently over a very, very long career. Just about every club in the comp would be happy to give him a shot as a development coach.

Yep, of all the 'boys' to give a job to, Hurn's one you definitely want.

Incredibly stupid seeing as though how great a connector of people and reader of the game Hurn is. He’ll be a head coach one day and we will be lucky to have him help us for now

 

[ioppolo]

People will say that they're professional footballers and such but I wonder how much this affects the Geelong guys tomorrow night? Even if it's only 5% Brisbane could take advantage of that

Pfft it’s Shannon Hurn.

He is the ****ing club.

This is such a terrible take

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I'm just keen to take the title of worst take of 2024 from Dark Sharks and his melt over Duggan winning the Woosha Medal.

Hurn also had excellent skills and read the play well, which might be useful in a development role.

I’m really glad someone has come back to work on our kickouts Long and to the right has to work shortly

I hope king is ok. I wonder if it was the shock of having to travel outside of the state that made him sick or if they didn’t give him enough business class seats on the way back to make up for travelling every second week.
