Coach Coach for 2025

[greatwhiteshark]

Back in the day we could pick anyone to coach, like when we picked Ken Judge.

Most coaches who fail had very poor lists. Ken was no exception. The Eagles was wrong time, wrong place for him as a coach.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Well that ain't good. Hope he's ok

when he suddenly dropped to the ground.

The 45-year-old was quickly attended to by medical staff and paramedics took him to the Epworth Geelong Hospital in Waurn Ponds.

Cameron was visibly shaken by the incident and players were ushered from the field for 20 minutes or so.

7NEWS chief AFL reporter Mitch Cleary witnessed the incident, saying it was quite “confronting”.

Maybe I am way to Old School .... BUT ...... under my watch neither of those coming into town for a face to face meeting, of such importance, would EVER have been left to catch a Cab from the airport.

Thats something that I don't like, one little bit.

Sorry I will call that as I see it.

FFS.

Poor Form, West Coast.

I assume they will get a cab to a hotel where they get changed and then make their way to MRP for the interview.

Completely normal to navigate that yourself, like any other job.

And by far the easiest way to get through an airport and out the other side is in a Taxi.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Just hope the new coach goes back to one captain.

 

[Mattman93]

Chatted to a mate who has played under Skipworth and couldn't speak more highly in regards to his ability to plan, prepare and connect with players.

Agree that little snippet wasn't super inspiring, but this same mate has heard whispers that the job is Skipworths, if he wants it.

I spose we will find out if that comes true in the next 4 or 5 days.

Fair enough. Played under him at what level?

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

That’s not going to help

Doesn't BODE well.
Hopefully it's not serious, and a one off incident.

Poor Form, West Coast.

Should have run from the airport to Lathlain Park, John Annear style. Would weed out the flabby contenders as well.

 

[RookiePick]

Scary sounding incident for King, hope he’s alright

West Coast didn't pick him up from the airport but we dropped him off at the airport .

 

[RookiePick]

On a serious note. I hope King is OK and it is a freak event.

How do they know? Who leaked the info they could not of been more impressed?

Tap it in the same postcode as Harley Reid you big lumbering oaf Bailey, then let him break tackles until he either kicks it himself or hits Waterman on the chest Simples.

Gameplan breaks down at the whole same postcode thing

We're getting Nick Daicos?

 

[Grahame]

We're getting Nick Daicos?

AFL would step in before Collingwood threaten to get their army to pillage AFL HQ. January 6 all over again.

 

[PepperTom32]

Skipworths persona reminds me of the kit man off Ted lasso. Hope he’s a bit different behind closed doors

Yeah Nate the Great

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Injured in his draft year?

Lock in King as our new coach.

 

[TOA.]

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

 

[lloydbraun]

I assume they will get a cab to a hotel where they get changed and then make their way to MRP for the interview.

Completely normal to navigate that yourself, like any other job.

And by far the easiest way to get through an airport and out the other side is in a Taxi.

Also, the cab fare falls under the soft cap. So, a $50 fee could wind up costing the club close to $100.

 

[squashface]

Maybe King was told he only gets the job if he sabotages Geelong's finals campaign

 

[ep2018]

I hope he's okay and I really hope this doesn't rule him out as a candidate.
