Bomber is no chance to stay at EFC - he all but said at the B&F he can only stay if as senior coach
In that case, they have 4 people with senior coaching experience working together, while we only have 2 plus a number of development coaches.
I would expect us to have a better development program for our youngsters with more interaction with young players. I tend to think our system might be superior, since you only need 1-2 great coaches to set the vision/strategy/direction, and then a larger team to implement and teach those values/skills to the players. The extended team only need limited skills compared to a senior coach.
Hardwick is a great man-manager and has great life values. He's a competent tactician, and improving, but not a genius. Chocco's role is development, which gives us a great development team. I think we're relying on Hardwick and Ross Smith for tactics.
We're one great tactician away from having an ideal setup IMO. Ironically, Terry Wallace would fit the bill
So you don't think Choco( or any other coach for that matter) puts his ideas up at match committee, because I think that is folly?In that case, they have 4 people with senior coaching experience working together, while we only have 2 plus a number of development coaches.

LOve Matty Knights back at the Club...
I agree with the idea but its not exactly a fair statement. We added more development coaches last year(2), whilst losing Leppa as a line coach. Cambo wasn't a coach, more an administrator for the VFL in his last year. We have replace Leppa now(Rutten), but have lost Daly. I guess that is your point, but hopefully we can replace him soon. We tried to get Hayes over the line but didn't happen and maybe we are waiting till next year to see if we can get who want(see Rutten). We do need to replace some of the lower level coaches for better quality which is of course your point too.So what's going on with our coaching panel? Surely we're not content to lose 3 in the last year and replace them with 1.

We don't know if we did or not frankly. Maybe we did but couldn't get him to commit? Maybe Port offered a huge contract? Either way they did and good luck to them. I do agree I would've liked him at our club.Disappointed that we didn't have a crack at Voss. He would have been great for our midfield. Spewing that he landed at Port. They are a genuine chance at the flag next year.

I agree we need more spending but we don't know of the particulars either. We may have made approaches to good senior types but couldn't sign them, or others where contracted that we like. I personally think we don't have zero IP, but could have more. I think we are grooming recent retirees as the dogs bodies, and the replacing the Mellors/Williams of this world with parachuted senior types soon, when they come available.We were at the stage of needing to improve. But instead went backwards. The money we have to improve football department went where exactly?
Buying cheap coaches to look after mainly players not on our list?
It's a farce.
12 months to replace leppa ( with a newb )
Wonder how many seasons it will take to replace Daly? Will probably be replaced by Sam Lloyd when he retires.
Good one dickhead
The fighting tiger fraud will land us the best in the business don't ya know?
Ease up mate, that's unnecessary! The bloke might be a dickhead, but Daly isn't a household name and should be replaced soon by an as equally untried newbie.
Rule out McCartney if the rumours i hear about him being an alcoholic are true
Hasn't he already been picked up ? Or am I hallucinating a dream ??
