Just google Lions coaching staff and compare that to our staff, Lions have 4 football analysts.
We had Ross Lyon and Nick, our football dept and media info are a joke.
Lions even have their dietician listed. Our club talks about being a powerhouse, it's all talk.
A quick fix, bring in a big name player, blame the coach rinse and repeat.
 
Personally, I’d like the best coach, not the best available coach. But I’m getting the distinct feeling that we’ll end up with the only available coach willing to live and work in WA, that has played footy some time in the past.

Better than an unavailable coach not willing to live and work in WA, and never played footy.

Our assistants are every bit as important as our senior coach. We should be speaking to Luke Hodges manager, he will go on to be a very good coach in his own right one day I believe. I would be surprised if he hasn’t already been approached by a few clubs. I am for a rookie senior coach, probs leaning towards Longmuir. But I want some experience there as well, Mark Williams or Woosha. David Hale is contracted but the new coach deserves the right to hand pick his assistants. I want to see a specialist skills, and specialist goal kicking coach. Every squad member should have a goal kicking routine that is repeated every single bloody shot no excuses.

Again this is basically why I don't foresee pleasant times ahead for us. There has been no real indication of any direction to not only fix what needs fixing but to adapt and get ahead of the times. It has pretty much all been reactionary. The best we can hope for now is that whoever we appoint as head coach comes in, gets on the front foot and details who he wants as assistants and lists his ideal football department structure that we can work towards filling. This is why I'd be hoping more for a Burns or someone with big Victorian club experience who is also well connected.

Also, fire the damn strength and conditioning department: They've been hamstringing us since the Harvey years FFS.

Probably why Rosich got the flick, he was saving $ by not bolstering the footy department. Hired a placebo for a list manager, done nothing in the S&C dept. for years.

This is an opportunity to fix all the problems at once.

Let's all revisit this when we bomb out of finals contention with all our guns injured next year too.

I was surprised as well when Webber and Co. kept their jobs. I park the shit load of soft tissue injuries, especially before the season started directly on them. Also being unable to diagnose Hogan navicular re injury when spectators watching at training were questioning for months is incompetence by Webber and Co.

However the questionable decisions to play players with foot injuries jabbed up and they couldn't kick, then subsequently got more serious injuries had to come from above their pay grade either Coach, Footy Manager or CEO.

Then how some injured players came in to the 1st's immediately and re injured 5 times (Hill) where some did everything and couldn't get a game in the 1st's (Bennell) didn't deserve to be hung on S&C.

The rushing players back doesn't need to get put entirely at the feet of S&C - there is a strong push from the board onto the football department to get results on field.

You'll see almost every player managing something, so it's an industry wide cultural thing, but pressure to get results from the top is not an insignificant contributor.

We probably couldn’t afford any other coaches under the cap due to RTF(former)B’s salary & wont again this year.

There we shouldn't be surprised Webber kept his job should we?

Interesting how Brad Scott got a job with AFL so Norf wont have to pay his salary next year or have it couldn't in the soft salary cap.

If I were him I'd be hand balling at least some responsibility upstairs. I can understand how the board would accept that.

That's why I said to get ready for it all again next season, there will be more calls for heads to roll and there's only so many times your department can be perceived to make a mistake - even if you followed best practice - before the calls of the mob outside the door get listened to with another Alcock "we hear you" video.

Yes I saw that article where they spoke about that, but I would have thought there would have been a reduced payout because it was a mutual parting?

I thought it had to be a senior coaching position to not be requiring North to cough up?

Just a job in the AFL industry apparently, it's a smart hire by the AFL given they would have had to pay him indirectly anyway. But it's dodgy AF from an outside view as North should have had to pay for their mistakes...we will have to.

I think you've got that wrong. The fact Brad got a job with the AFL means North will have to pay his salary out. IF he had gone to another club they wouldn't have.

Not what was being reported yesterday, the talk was that it reduced what North had to pay.

I wonder if any AFL independent journalists start asking a few question to clear this up?

I thought initially Norf were up for around 800,000 if Scott didn't get a coaching job. However this could have been if Scott didn't get any AFL position. He had a right to be paid next year as he was contracted and this amount would have to be included in Norf's soft cap.

I assume, but would like it cleared up publically, that now he has an AFL job Norf are released from their contact obligation to pay him.

Sumich quit as AC for us over a disagreement of game plan with Ross, coincidentally during our peak and right before Lyon proceeded to dish up pish football for 4ish years. The fact that the club is still interested in him suggests he's not a total mug like many of our oh so knowledgable posters argue.

WC supporters indeed.

Sumich left when he was the Development coach .... why was he disagreeing with the Senior Coaches gameplay?
