Coach Coaching 2022

[ScrappyDo]

How many coaches are out there that aren’t “on training wheels” though?
Coaches that haven’t already said they were t interested. Because I’m sure Carlton said they wanted experience?
Voss.


( Nek minit Clarko changes his mind )

It hardly matters. The Scum's culture if rooted and you can't build that over night in a club where the hierarchic simply doesn't understand the concept. I can't see any change to their status quo for the next decade.

 

[Munga]

Much better that he's coming as a back coach and not the development coach. One would think he'll shine now.

 

[can coach]

Exciting news … great to see good footy people wanting to join our club, hopefully translates on the field .

 

[Diehard Saint]

So
Out:
Head of Fatness (Freudian finger slip - but I like it so it can stay)
Hamill
Skrolobak

In:
New head of fitness - Walsh
Enright ( back line)

Still looking for:
Head of player development
Any more assistants ??

 

[bird_man]

Just waiting to see what the plan is with McGlynn, whether he moves into the forward line or they have something else planned for him.

Ideally we can get Tapping or Harvey into a midfield role and move Lade to another area.

Unless the idea is to chase Tapping as head of development which he has a lot of experience in.

Head coach - Ratten
Forwards - vacant (Skrabalak)
Midfield - Lade
Defence - Enright* (Hamill)
VFL - Bachelar
High Performance - Nick Walsh* (Hornsby)
Development - vacant (McGlynn)

McGlynn?

Lade is forwards already

 

[Joffaboy]

Enright also sounds like a canny operator to jump ship on the Geelong coaching train wreck.

Wonder whether the thought is that Roughy will do the fwd line?
Has been spending a fair bit of time with them anyway.

Is Danny Sexton stil floating around or did he leave?

Spot on. Moved from a geriatric team to a young up-and-comer. Smart man.

 

[BrutThough]

Lade is forwards already

Lade did midfield this year. Forwards in 2020.

Given how much more functional the forwards looked last year, I hope we move him back to the forwards.

 

[tomjoad]

Have absolutely nothing against Corey Enright, a great backman for the premiership Cats, but why such a big wrap? How do we know he is any good as a line coach?


Not a critisism at all, I have absolutely no idea, but what makes everyone so excited. Ratts from a premiership team and assistant at a premiership team, Roughy from a premiership team, Rath from a premiership club, Saints, out of the finals.

Yep, good post. On paper it all looks pretty good coaching wise...but we looked confused in 2021, sure there were injuries etc. But the lack of fitness and cohesion was alarming.
I guess with the new appointments we won't know anything, or be able to judge with any proper evidence, until the halfway point of next year.
As another poster mentioned though, it's good to have a guy not from the Hawks. I'm a little weary of us being Hawthorn lite.

Where does Rath fit in that?

Head of Football

 

[Drop Kick]

I wonder if the Saints would offer Ross Lyon the Development coach role, Ross apparently wants back in, if someone will have him.

 

[King_Steele]

Tapping head of development
Harvey senior assistant

 

[pebblesofsand]

Not strictly coaching but found this in an article about who was most likely to replace Gil as boss of the AFL (Travis Auld in the box seat apparently)

Simon Lethlean, Mark Evans, Dave Matthews and Ben Amarfio are four men at clubland who have first-hand experience of how things work at the AFL.

Lethlean – chief operating officer at St Kilda – was most recently the head of football at the league and before that, was in charge of broadcast. Tipped to be next CEO of the Saints.

He doesn't develop players that's why we got into the mess we did.

 

[snails13]

Any indication that a retired Saint is being investigated?

So did they want him to keep playing?

 

[Mowman]

Looks like the Blues are going after McQualter and Scarlett as assistant coaches, would love McQualter at the Saints

So Enright, Knights and Scarlett all leaving the Cats.
McQualter seems to have a very good name.

 

[saintsmania]

X Clarke head of development will be nice..I think Dale Tapping is our man..has left Brissy

 

[borderbarry]

Now that Buckley has been replaced at C arringbush, will Harvs still be senior assistant there?

 

[Imtellingya]

Now that Buckley has been replaced at C arringbush, will Harvs still be senior assistant there?

No, I think he has already left to broaden his horizons

Saints target Pies’ development guru
St Kilda plans to put a greater emphasis on its development program next year and has approached Collingwood head of academy Damian Carroll about a potential move.

It comes as highly-rated former Lions midfield assistant Dale Tapping attracts serious interest from Essendon and Collingwood about potential roles for next season.

The off-field assistant coaching moves this season have already been significant with still plenty more movement to come.

If Carroll decides to move to Moorabbin after one year with the Magpies, it would reunite him with Saints coach Brett Ratten

, with whom he worked at Hawthorn under Alastair Clarkson.

St Kilda is looking to appoint a full-time head of development, with the club keen to invest heavily in this area after the serious disruption to the second-tier level across the past two seasons.

Ratten told the club’s website recently he wanted someone to “own” the development space.

The Saints have already added former Cat Corey Enright to their assistant coaching panel.

Carroll spent a decade at Hawthorn where he coached Box Hill Hawks to a VFL flag in 2013, while serving as an assistant coach to Clarkson as well as head of development.

Tapping had been offered a two-year deal to stay with the Lions, but chose to return to Victoria for family reasons.

’s 2020 Brownlow Medal season attracted interest from several clubs.

 

[The Boar]

Hypothetical time:
If Clarkson wanted to coach the Saints in 2023 what would you do?

Is there any other position that Ratten could be reshuffled into, Director of Coaching or something? Any options there?
