someone on here was saying Dunstall was the person who pushed hard for the board to choose Clarkson at Hawks, if he has it in him to be the one to push a bloke that could deliver 4 premierships and 20 years of sustained success then he's the bloke you want
Apparently he's interested in making Adelaide good..
His win/loss record is 50:50, pretty standard for most long-term coaches and some say he over-achieved with the cattle he had. And North has been getting by on the smell of an oily rag for years so severely limited in attracting and keeping decent players.
I guess Longmuir will be the one if Freo BF any indication - last time I checked poll it was something like 164 votes to 4 for Brad. So that's overwhelming, but I'm frustrated with blase acceptance that we will go backwards under a new rookie coach.
Are you Scott's mum? You seem to only want him as coach.
Good one Alikat, so original. I'll get back in my box.

I don't quite share your angst, but I think you've got a fair point. There is a big risk with say a JLo or even some of the other more credentialed young assistance with no HC experience.
I don't like the idea of Scott for us for various reasons. But I think we could do worse, I really do. That worse may even be JLo, the problem is we don't know until he's given a go ... that's what the panel are there for, to work out what level of risk vs reward he presents.
But yeah, you're onto something. If people think that JLo (or similar) is going to be inherently better than Scott because he's young and been a successful assistant etc. while we've already seen what Scott can do ... there is very little, arguably nothing, to indicate that will be the case. A dose of realism there is not a bad thing.

It may be worth interviewing BScott but the very common public perception for both the brothers is that they are whinging sods and Brad is the worst.
Candidates need to be able to present a game plan and strategy that leads to finals and is geared towards Fremantle. That is, it needs to identify where we are at right now, where they see us during their potential contract period, and what would need to happen to get us there. A SWOT analysis of the club from a football perspective.
Part of that would be identifying areas of strength and weakness and how they would address them in the short and long term.
They should be presented with game situations and asked to present their strategy for the team from that point. What would their moves be, and why?
They should be asked questions like "With the likely loss of both BHill and Langdon, how would you propose to address those losses assuming 1) no list changes 2) an achievable trade outcome".
Do we have the right panel in place to do this?

I'm pretty sure if the first answer given was "I intend to implement a forward strategy that delivers 5 more goals a game" they would come pretty close to securing the gig.

I wonder if the club will release (or the press leak) the 10 candidates, would be great to know who is being considered as well as Longmuir and Sumich.
Would have to assume Scott would be one, Burns? Worsfold? Voss? who else?

I reckon Longmuir, Sumich, Burns, Voss and Scott would easily be in there. There was something earlier in this thread about Kingsley, Rob Harvey and Solomon being approached? Then maybe Ben Rutten and Jade Rawlings
He wanted to retire and got a great opportunity in land development in Geraldton.
The club went to him and allow him to do it.
Not sure that is Bell calling the shots.
If you can’t trust your staff to review performance, then it’s better to sack them.

No you always want someone who would not be affected by bias to do these reviews. Someone from outside the club. Pav is a champ but he's a freo ex player and freo supporter so its possible he may let his feelings for the club cloud his judgement.
I found in my working life that independent reviews tend to be used a weapon to get rid of people.
Boards used it as justification to sack people they want sacked.
Happen at my first employment.
Yep. Independent reviews never are.
Seen something about Leigh Tudor.
Channel seven don’t even care about Freo football. No secret. Football never did the talking for them. Always find a way to make it personal tbh. Won’t change with the new coach
