At this point let’s just get the 3 in a room and sort it
1,2,3,4 I declare a thumb war

I always thought to move assistant coaches on they would have to be told by the end of August as if still under contract the new coach’s hands may be tied in what assistant coaches he can bring with. That’s always been my understanding however could be wrong. Not sure what happened in the first year Simmo came on board re the assistant coaches.

Senior List
Callum Mills at pick 3 using picks 33-36-37-43
I cant find what picks were used for the next bids but I can say what Sydney went in with
Nick Blakey at pick 10 and went in with picks 26, 33, 38, 39, 40, 88
Braeden Campbell at pick 5 and Errol Gulden at pick 32 and went in with picks 3, 31, 34, 43, 60, 82
They also took Logan Mcdonald at pick 4 since no one bid on Campbell in the top 3 which wasn't their fault.
Sydney are a great team with a great culture but I don't think anyone can deny that they haven't been given help by the AFL. That also isn't their fault, it's the AFL not being able to sort out a proper academy bidding system.

So we're supposedly getting a two time premiership assistant coach from the bottom of the ladder team? Last premiership 2020 and in 4 years they've slipped to wooden spoon, and the game has arguably changed in that time...
Wasn't Bolton a lock for Freo?
Anyway, there's been a whole lot of nothing going on (lots of gossip and speculation) as we paddle around the end of season doldrums, but it all starts to gather momentum from tomorrow...according to this old news.
'West Coast are set to unveil their new coach this week, with the reported favourite being Andrew McQualter, 'according to Damian Barrett'.
It was also reported that Richmond's Shai Bolton and Liam Baker are awaiting the appointment of McQualter which could sway their decisions on requesting trades to West Coast, rather than Fremantle, as both players previously played under McQualter during his time at Richmond..."

Twitter rumour going around is that if King gets the gig then Matthew Scarlett will come as an assistant. That would be a fantastic appointment IMO. Highly regarded and certainly won’t play the nice guy.
such is ben

Expecting Footy Rhino to drop the news tonight…surely
I think I'd be happier about welcoming Scarlett to be honest, exactly who we need around the club.
Apparently he is the head of KRock footy.

Quick bit of research- Scarlett joined the bulldogs as a part time development coach at the end of 2012. So spent time with King there until 2016 when he left to join Geelong as an assistant coach
Left Geelong at the end of 2021 and as far as I can tell hasn’t been involved with an AFL club since
Was noted for not tolerating fools during his playing career so could be a good addition as I assume our backline coach (replacing Webster who either leaves or goes back to forwards)
Scarlett also belted Ballantine which is another reason to like him

Maybe there was something in C.Scott’s comments the other week along the lines of “he’ll be a great coach at… if he becomes a senior coach”.
Might also explain the minor delay in announcing (if it even has been delayed), allow him to get medically cleared and back to normal before a very busy period of contracts, trading, draft and straight in to pre-season.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we find out tomorrow around 10am.
**EDIT - both Skipworth & McQualter still feature on their respective clubs websites.

Wonder if this pleases or displeases Lord Baker?

From Scarlett’s Wikipedia page.
Scarlett co-owned a Geelong-based restaurant with fellow Geelong footballers Steven King and Kent Kingsley called the George and Dragon Hotel from 2004–2007 until it changed name and ownership due to financial difficulty. Due to the financial difficulty being made known to Scarlett only days before its closure, he headbutted one of his fellow restaurant partners (although it was not said which), although he apologised the next day
