A year ago it could if happened but not nowClarkson to Eagles
Simpson to North Melbourne.
We were outclassed, out paced and out coached. Much like every game we played I guess. Who was our midfield and storage coach - the processes would need to have be developed over an extended period. Well we all know who - 'they' would need a very impressive analysis and plan to be our next coach. Bring on the professional process.
We also had nothing to play for today (just pride and mates but footy is more ruthless than that) - Richmond esque.
I get the feeling we already hired someone. Pykes comments about people taking their name out of the hat when they werent in contention in a snarky way makes me think the interview pile is likely very very small in size and its more or less a formality as to who we get
Feel like it will be Montgomery who gets the job
I never said he was. Im just saying i think the decisions been made....Montgomery is a nobody? In what universe is he ahead of Schofield?
Played 200 games and been an assistant for 15 years. How many coaching hires aren't nobodies by that logic?Montgomery is a nobody? In what universe is he ahead of Schofield?
No current season stats available
It doesn’t guarantee it but it’s more likely than someone who’s never played at the highest level and therefore doesn’t understand what it takes to be successful at that level.good player doesn't = good coach. Different skills.
You can tell he wasn't happy by the way he said players weren't executing their role/ playing to instruction.
Basically confirmed Hall as an in next week. Expect a few other changes.
I liked the presser, pretty clear he's keeping recites. Not sure who had the job on Cripps in the start but basically he said when individuals don't do what they are supposed to do and then its up to others to do their job... pretty sure Trew didn't start with a run with role there but he seemed to finish with one.
Seriously I can’t believe you asked this?
Nah, no more than the last two weeks would have sealed the job. You can’t turn things around in a couple of weeks, the results should largely be irrelevant, whether he is the best man for the job will come down to the interview and plans for the future, none of which we will be privy to.The hiding today & no doubt next week certainly would have to end Schofield's chances to coach us.
I expected a response from Carlton but for us to get flogged like this is just piss poor. Arguably as bad as the Hawthorn effort.

seriously I havent seen anything to justify the in pyke we trust dick-riding.
The midfield has been terrible under him for a while. Would have been better to retain simpson than appoint Schofield.I love the logic of Schofield being a senior assistant at the club for 3 years but apparently having absolutely no impact on the state of it is meant to be a point in his favour.

I would have thought the fact that he had a forthright discussion with Simpson, after which Simpson moved on, would have been a good start.
Reid started on Cripps at the first bounce…. Useless Williams gave a free away straight away and then Cripps took the handball with Reid running 5 metres behind and booted it inside 50

I'm not following the logic of montgomery= nobody, schofield = somebody.Montgomery is a nobody? In what universe is he ahead of Schofield?
