I don’t have a problem with JLo’s experience level at all. He’s a big boy now and he’s had plenty of experience under different coaches including 2 years as the senior assistant to Simpson. I dare say he’s fairly senior within the Pies set up too. He’s worked for 10 years to get this opportunity.
Rock and Hale will offer good support too.

Aren't they part of the problem or will they be able to grow and improve now they are no longer under Lyon.

Yeah and Cripps sees the light and wants to come back to WA bringing SPS with him and the fairies dance in a circle blessing us to 10 straight flags...Re Clarkson - that’s what everyone said when we got Lyon....
Hale stays assistant at Clarkson’s request. Hill decides to stay because why would he want to be anywhere else now
Agree on JLo, however he'd want to know the assistants he has working with him. Best guess is Hale stays and 2 others are brought in. Prior probably stays as well.
As some posters have said i'd prefer we had our coach in place by the middle of August. That would give him 2 to 3 weeks to assess where guys are at on the list and what potential target we would have in trade week etc.
I think leaving it later than that means we are relying totally on Bell. I don't think its beyond Bell to effectively work in this space but his ideas and that of the new coach may not totally align.

Isn't past the middle of August now? .Do You mean the middle of September?
Is Brendon Bolton still out of a job? I'd look at him for a senior assistant/development coach position.
Hale has had special mention from Fyfe and a couple of others when they've been discussing what's helped them or who is primed to be a head coach. Sounds like he's struck a chord and has really added something with the players.
It'd be good to have that continuity with Hale and Rock staying on helping mitigate in some way the disruption of replacing the head coach, especially if it's a rookie coach we get.

Hale a real chance maybe?
Interesting that Young said on SEN this morning that JLO has not been contected yet.

Bolton could be an intersting prospect as some form of development coach/assistant coach. Does have a young family however so it would depend on if anyone else came knocking in Victoria as im sure that would be his choice.

Anybody else starting to think the Dockers have lined up a current Senior Coach?
I mean, if there has not been any contact with current assistants so far, it does seem unusual they haven't at least started contacting the obvious candidates like JLo etc. The regular season has finished and there is a break now so you would think it should be go time to approach assistants.
Could it really be a current coach that is still in finals or maybe missed finals but possibly on the way out with their current club?
Just a thought.

heck yep....middle of September. Seriously we cant give the new bloke 1 week before we head into trade week can we? That would be absolute madness.
Then we need to get this guy on the selection panel ASAP!

I think you are on to something
"On to something" or "on something"?
They are. Quite strange how the most passive aggressive Anti-Lyon poster wants to actually keep the useless, Lyon "Yes Man" assistant in Rock.
He should be banished to coaching his kids in the backyard.

I like every single part of that announcement.
1) Overseen by independent person
2) Bring in an educated club legend who knows whats required
3) We are looking at EVERYONE
Terrific news
Simon Lloyd would be e great get except I`m not sure if he has coached his own team prior to coming to Freo.
