Coach Coach for 2025

[TOA.]

Didn’t think he was that impressive looking from the outside replacing dimma however I guess Schofield could be viewed similar for us

Yes, I think any coach taking over a dumpster fire is going to look average when they only have 5 weeks. They are not miracle workers - its not like you have a chance to properly implement changes and they are dealing with a dispirited playing group. Its a hiding to nothing. I personally dont know why these prospective coaches do it.

Not sure on McQualter but to be fair to him, he did a fairly decent job with Richmond as caretaker. He won 7 of 13 which might seem a bit meh, but considering Dimma and Yze between them had 5 wins out of 33 in the last 2 years it looks pretty decent

Ted Lasso, the fictional character from the TV series, is known for his optimistic, positive attitude and ability to motivate players.

While Ted Lasso would excel at building a positive team culture and connecting with players, his lack of tactical AFL knowledge and experience would likely be a major obstacle. However, with a strong support team of experienced assistant coaches, Ted’s motivational and leadership qualities could be valuable in creating a harmonious and resilient team.

We already had Caitlin Bassett do this ffs

Homer Simpson as coach of the West Coast Eagles would bring a unique mix of unorthodox motivation, calm under pressure, and outside-the-box tactics. His ability to unite diverse personalities and his global icon status would boost team spirit and fan engagement. With Homer at the helm, the Eagles would be unpredictable, entertaining, and a major hit on and off the field.

Homer’s brother Adam has AFL experience, maybe we could sign them both?

And we wouldn't have to wait for the cuts under Homer.

Tbf these fictional characters sound a lot better than Ken Hinkley

If not, I’m sure there’s other quality candidates of his ilk down at the TAB.

 

[Keys]

Nothing of real note other than we’re still assessing other candidates to see if they’re interested

Seeing how magnificent he's been in player development over the last few years I'm sure he'd last less than a season.

Looks like Kern is staying put.

Odd to hear a sacked coach so continually praise the club that sacked him… must have been a good payout

He did have a pretty good list on paper still.

Having listed to the Back Chat interview, I got the impression that Simpson is pretty philosophical about life and that he probably recognised his time was up.
