UPDATE: Highly rated Tigers assistant to join Bombers

Blake Caracella will join Essendon after the season finishes

www.afl.com.au

Are we a sneaky chance?

God damn hope so. Would be the biggest signing we have this off-season

 

[Purple dynamite]

Sweet babt jeezus, say its so.
Have hime be assistant coach under lyon to integrate into senior coach. I would even consider lyon moving into a director of coaching role.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Caracella would be a fantastic get

 

[Bastyy]

I'd offer Caracella more than Fyfe

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

From the Richmond board it seems like he's going to Essendon.

Probably on the Ratten deal, come over, if we are shit, the jobs yours. Feel like the Lyon job is a safer bet if that's what he wanted. As many have thought, there might even be a possibility of a set hand over.

We really need to bring at least 1 highly rated assistant from somewhere next year

 

[332docker]

Lomgmure would be good get. He’s served his apprenticeship

 

[Bring back Drum]

Def Essendon for Caracella according to 360.

Yep that’s the succession plan right there

Got a feeling it’s been in the making for a while (behind closed doors)
The article kinda insinuates that something’s gone on.

I think barring a gf appearance worsfold will be gone within 2 years

Has got a good as cv as you could ask for as an assistant coach.
Even as player was very smart/big game player.

 

[fnerd]

Just have to keep trying.
Who we replace our assistants with is more important and will have more impact than any player we can get in this trade period (well maybe bar cogs but that ain’t happening)

Agree & we can now assume RTB will start the new year as coach, do good assistants out there want to come & work with him? My concern is that RTB does not give his assistants enough responsibility & therefore development to look at going to the next level.
That sort of ambition is what makes the great assistants & I’m not sure whether RTB has ever had an assistant like that.

Rosich’s contract runs out end of this year. These are quotes from when Hawthorn were after him.

"Hawthorn approached me and I advised them that I had a contract here that specifically states I cannot work for another AFL club until at least the end of 2019,"
-Steve Rosich

"Steve was re-contracted at the end of the 2016 season through to end of 2019, and the contract stipulates that he cannot take up a CEO role at another AFL club during that period,"
-Dale Alcock.

We would only get a highly rated assistant if we can guarantee a top job but we can’t. Ross is coaching next year and unless he quits or things turn pear shaped he’ll coach us in 2021 too.

Well that notion is the direct opposite of what Fyfe has recently said about RTB and that he has become more of a 'father figure' around the place. RTB has had Brett Kirk, Peter Sumich (ugh), pretty sure they have ambitions just like David Hale does currently. Kirk was always going back to Sydney in a short amount of time yet people roll that out as a negative of RTB.

Interesting.. If FFC were to replace Rosich who would we be looking at? Reckon Bell got an extension to curry favour in Rosich's direction?

 

[wild side]

Rosich only wants to go to AFL House, he doesn't want another GM job, unless it was West Coast, which wouldn't be likely!
He did come from West Coast

 

[se17enteen]

You reckon Mark Brayshaw would want the CEO job?

He is currently the CEO of the coaches Association, was a former CEO of Richmond, board member of North and has worked for Fremantle and Port.

That’s a good resume.

Lols, all in on the Brayshaw dynasty

Better than Rosich’s strategy of letting Colin Young run the club.

The experienced guys have had their chances. Its wharfie time!

 

[Taylor]

Carlton are after Walls.

 

[fnerd]

Carlton are after Walls.

Didn’t care about losing Lloyd (he ballsed up way more than he fixed) but I actually rate wallsy jr.
Think since he’s been the top dog, last couple years? Our draftings be alright particularly with the lack of 2nd rounders.
Couldn’t see him saying no to Carlton tho

 

[beetz]

Thought we needed a thread for all things footy department, coaching, strength and conditioning etc. as we all likely see an abundance of announcements over coming weeks and then saw someone recommend a coaching changes thread so thought I’d get to it.
