CAITLIN BASSETT: Bender_ could fit as West Coast coach and Eagles can ‘take a leaf’ from Sam MitchellTo an extent - the vast majority of football supporters are thick as pig shit and can't understand why their team doesn't win every game they play.
On the flipside there's supporters like me who have immense football knowledge and an understanding of the game despite not playing it since highschool and who also know what's best for the club and could turn it around immediately if given some sort of Ted Lasso like chance to coach and run the club.
There’s some useful information in there re our pressure rating in games - we’ve gone from an average of 174 (17th) under Simpson to 183 (8th) under Schofield
Now as soon as someone explains to me - oh, and the commentators - what the pressure rating actually is, I'll feel super duper.![]()

tl:dr - vibes.
Long way to go before there’s any clarity on who replaces Simpson permanently, but there’s definitely a bit of groundswell support building for Schofield
If that transpires, who do we try to put around him, and which assistants, if any, survive?
Knights has already confirmed he’s leaving so at a minimum we’d need a new forwards coach and a new midfield coach to replace Schofield
Happy to retain Shuey in his existing role since he seems to have built a decent relationship with our young mids. Luke Webster who’s our current backline coach, I’m less certain of but he might get a reprieve to avoid having to find 3 new assistants instead of 2 which might be difficult enough in itself - especially when we’re also searching for a head coach
Mark Stone would be my first choice as midfield coach as not only has he been a successful assistant at a number of clubs, his experience would be an asset helping a first time coach
Not sure where Scott Selwood sits in the pecking order for senior coach, if at all, but if we could prise him out of Collingwood to be an assistant that would be quite a coup
David Teague has recently left Carlton where he was forwards coach and would be worth talking to
Darren Harris is currently working with our AFLW side and is an experienced assistant coach who has also been successful coaching both West Perth and Claremont in the WAFL
I’m not sure if coaching is his thing, but Harry Taylor could be a potential backline coach
If Schofield could encourage his former premiership coach, Mark Williams, to move from Melbourne to head up our development in a similar role I’d be rapt.
Stewart Dew is another who could fill that head of development role or be a line coach if he was happy to drop back. Worth noting he’s a former teammate of Schofield’s
Current forwards coach of the Bulldogs, Matt Spangher, is a familiar name to many and would be a welcome returnee given the cult status he holds.
Ah, so it's a Gen Z thing?

Mark Stone’s segment in 6PR this week
Explains how the pressure gauge is calculated and talks about what Collingwood did well (and we failed to adjust to) in their centre clearance dominance
Good listen as usual
