Coach Football department changes going forward

[bobs head soup]

If the soft cap is going up by a mill ( as reported) surely we should be able to grab 2 from the above list. Would love any of Caracalla , Lappin , cox or Kingsley.

Imagine all the extra myotherapists tho

 

[Dogs Rule]

He has a good reputation, but how about someone from a successful system? Richmond, Geelong or Melbourne.

Essendon 2000-01?

Since the old boy Josh Kennedy (WCE version) has retired, how about we grab him as a forwards coach?

Josh Kennedy (Syd) seems like he would be a great midfield coach too. Get them both if they're willing to move

Maybe we could pull a swifty and get both for one soft cap payment

 

[flipper83]

Looks like Nigel Lappin has been at Geelong since 2008 which is a long stint at one club. I wonder if he could be prised out.

as an assistant?
No idea if he wishes to pursue it but he seems like a decent bloke and was a very crafty fwd/mid.

as ruck coach. "Just get bigger, boys. That was my secret. Just be huge."

 

[Philthy1]

Essendon 2000-01?

There is a difference between playing and being a part of the coaching panel orchestrating it. Especially when our problem is system / game plan.

 

[immortalmike]

We should bring in Aaron Sandilands as ruck coach. "Just get bigger, boys. That was my secret. Just be huge."

Pairs well with Darcy.

Chris Grant: 'Hey Bevo, I hear Matthew Scarlett may be available. Super smart operator and only left Geelong because he couldn't agree with some of the head coaches ideas.'

Bevo: 'Yeah, nah'.

(rucks) or Goldy when he retires

 

[Northernsoul74]

Kennedy (fwd coach), Kennedy (mids), Scarlett (defenders), Dean Cox (rucks) or Goldy when he retires

Is there anything to suggest either of the Kennedy’s or Goldy can coach and coach well? Not every good player is automatically a good coach.

 

[Freshwater]

I see Lenny Hayes has gone back to Saints.

Mathew Boyd, Dale Morris, Liam Picken and even Daniel Cross are our Lenny Hayes.

 

[_Mike_]

Absolutely not, however with tutoring/guidance helping them impart their knowledge they couldnt be any worse than some of the personnel already filling those roles - IMO

This.

I thought Mundy might be worth a look at. That was until I heard a Podcast where he was the guest. Terribly nervous and socially awkward.

If the person has strong general industry knowledge and has good communication and people management skills, it’s a better start than that of a gun player who struggles to hold a conversation.

If Bubba is to retire, Scarlet should be our 100% target as new D coach, without a doubt.

 

[doggies ftw]

Scarlett would probably die on the spot if he saw our current defensive approach

 

[BulldogMuscle]

Scarlett would probably die on the spot if he saw our current defensive approach

Then he can feel like the rest of the Dogs fans do whenever the ball goes down back.

 

[Golden_6]

Scarlett would probably die on the spot if he saw our current defensive approach

We might be better off recruiting Scarlett in a playing assistant coach role. It might be an improvement on what we have.

 

[Dog 36]

The two guys I would like to get as assistants would be Blake Caracella

- Forward line coach but highly unlikely he would be gettable but he did a good job with West Coast both as a forward line coach and backline coach.

I knew Peter Rhode was never going to be a good head coach because he was pretty nervous every time he was interviewed. He would then have to talk to 40 professional athletes and staff. But that same person can still be an excellent communicator in smaller groups and one on ones. Right role for the right person is important.
