• Adam Potter – VFL Assistant Coach

 

[katana]

it's odd how much people care about assistant coaches. we've how many 'highly regarded' assistants come through our club in recent time? some have even gone on to be trash senior coaches.

 

[Old Campaigner]

I guess the question that needs to be asked is highly regarded by who?

 

[Rick Ross]

I guess the question that needs to be asked is highly regarded by who?

You don’t need to ask :
1. Ex team mates
2. Their managers
3. Friends in the media

Weird take given assistant coaches do more than ever.

 

[katana]

we constantly get highly rated assistant into various roles, nothing improves... so what is it?

 

[nipst@r]

Just hoping for an assistant who can

Stop mcgrath kicking in
Teach McKay how to handball

Be shocked if we weren't the worst kick in team both ways.

Teams go coast to coast against us a lot and we turn it over a lot kicking in.

 

[SydneyBomber]

Not unlike the highly rated draft picks we seem to consistently break.
Essington

Kulcha

 

[Foxx]

Just get an assistant that can take over Brad Scott's role.

There is only so much you can etach.
How to stop McGrath kicking in ? Ridley stays on the park or you find a few blokes in the back half who can kick.

We like to get guys that are highly rated assistants in one role, then use them in another. vErSaTiLiTy.

Also whether they're a good senior coach is pretty irrelevant to whether they're a good assistant or development coach.

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Would love Goddard to come back in some capacity

I must admit I'm intrigued by that pretzeldog...

Ridley, roberts, redman all have better disposal and offensive decision making than mcgrath.

I'd also have Martin and merret kick in to break tags or if they are spending anytine in the backhaf.

 

[Zach Package]

If we are going external then Michael Barlow is the guy, money should be no object

 

[justlookingaround]

I expect Barlow and Kade Simpson

will be up and coming assistants in the coming years.

 

[orco]

Saw an article today about Sydney planning for John Longmire succession. If longmire left Sydney, would he be a good coach for Essendon?

Sure, but unless he's James Hird, he'll face the same instability from coteries and sections of the supporter base as any other coach I would suggest.

 

[Milanista28]

Would take him over Scott I think

 

[P Money]

If he brings northern academies and COLA with him I'm sure he'll be as successful as he has been in Sydney

 

[yodellinhank]

Then we should get James Hird

 

[thebigboy]

Then we should get James Hird

We are ''Essington'' for a reason..

 

[Test Tickle]

Saw an article today about Sydney planning for John Longmire succession. If longmire left Sydney, would he be a good coach for Essendon?

What is wrong with our coach, surely our players need a kick up the arse and if they don't want to give 100% effort every week then they can FO!

 

[Donflicted]

Coach aint the issue its the list and development

Scott can only polish a turd he cant make it into diamonds give him time it took Fagen 8 years

The magic number imo
