Ah. That makes sense.
Hadn't heard him being called that before.
Seems a good candidate.

I reckon Midweek Tackle is a pretty good show even if they do get into pushing rumours.

How the hell did Harry T get in on the selection committee? FFS, he’s a Geelong person through and through. Suppose he thinks it’s easy money.
Because he works for the club?
He never really presented in media / interviews as particulalry switched on either.

If Schofield wasn't already internal I've no doubt this board would have him as their favourite of the current list. We'd be seeing posts about how he wouldn't take any shit, is a tough man, loves to throw Gatorade bottles at half time.
Not to say that's a reason to pick him, just an observation

Harry Taylor is very highly regarded football person. Was Head of Performance at Geelong in their premiership year before going home to Geraldton last year
Currently working at the club part time as a leadership consultant so makes a very good addition to the selection panel
Also has a degree in Applied Management/Strategic Management
He’s also the ham guy

Genuinely nice bloke too
Does anyone feel like this is our darkest moments in our history ? never seen so many potential candidates pass up the opportunity to coach us, Barrass shopping himself around, players not giving 100% effort and successive poor years.
I thought that was fake.
Don't worry , we've been there. We got beaten by Hawthorn by close to that in 2012.
We made a semi final the year after. It turns around quick.

I feel like the last month or so is a turning point of sorts.
Guess we'll see
At least we're giving games to youngsters

Cox is the only one, and he has a pretty good reason. Carr I reckon was never going to be in the running and Buckley's ego was never going to go through the process. If we wanted him we'd have had to offer him the job outright. I'm glad we didnt
I watched it happen and didn't believe it was real
To have the career he had from where he started as a slow knock kneed kid verges on miraculous. If he can impart any of his strength of character and footy iq into our kids it will be invaluable. I think he will also be an asset in our search for a coach.
2013 seemed like only 3 choices in Burns , Simmo and Suma that applied.
Exactly, Schofield has been a senior assistant during the worst 3 years in the clubs history.
One of our worst performing groups is the midfield, that's where most games are won and lost.
What has Schofield done to improve our midfield, isn't that his area of expertise?
If he has done his job then he implemented the Adam Simpson game plan and structure. Assistant coaches get to suggest only, they don't get to change things without approval of the senior coach.
This is why senior coaches get 1m per year and assistants get a 300k per year.
The person who didn't improve our midfield has gone now.

How do we know Simpson didn't take on board his suggestions and implement them? Assistance coaches are hired to assist, the suggestion they don't have any influence on the coach would not be correct in most instances.
