You missed the part where it’s all been designed by the Tigers to destroy the Eagles. Sneaky buggers Richmond gotta watch them.I wish we would just sack our coach, he's lost the players and he's destroying the club.
I wish we would hurry up and appoint a new coach so we can start getting our recruitment underway, this delay is embarrassing the club.
I wish we hired a different coach, I don't like the vibe of this new one and I think he'll be gone from the club in 2 years.
I love this site.

My point was more to the timeline and not if he can coach.
Simpson can coach and was all the rage this year when we hit a purple patch of two games in a row.
WA loves a whipping boy.
Kosi Pickett late change of heart
And as a result of the Richmond takeover, we have rolled over with Barrass and hand over too much for Baker.I wish we would just sack our coach, he's lost the players and he's destroying the club.

With Stocks leaving as head of Communications, I'm hearing we will make a play for Sam McClure.
Glad all these transactions are done .
At least 2 coming!!

If Longmuir misses finals again, he could get the gig there. They have a top four list.

This is why you don't get tattoos kids. 
Seriously though welcome aboard Mini. Don't rate the resume of St Kilda, Gold Coast, Richmond [hate it in fact] but he's a West Coast man now and that has a better ring to it. Has a bit of the Brendon Boltons about him which I think is the right vibe for the moment. Hopefully he gets the boys playing a great brand of footy. Exciting times.
Edit: Can't stop looking at the teeth. So much meme potential. Bodes well.

We all know Webster will be responsible for our next GF appearance.
So, is this where we hate on McQualter for being the 'weak link' as an assistant coach in a 3x premiership team but pump Mitchell's tyres because he was an assistant in a 1x premiership team?

Yes. But make it nice and melty.
Incorrect. It’s Caro.
We don’t need to speculate about Mitchell’s impact with 2018 flag - there was ample commentary from key players (including Yeo and Shuey) after the flag about his importance and how he got the best out of them. His big influence on the flag is a fact, you might as well accept it and move on.
Everything Mitchell has done since has confirmed that he is very astute and a great coach. And our club went downhill rapidly when he left.
I’m not disputing Simpson’s great contribution to the club and the flag, but you credibly can’t deny Mitchell was a big factor in that flag.
Not inspired by the choice, hope I'm proven wrong.
Would have rathered King as our midfield needs the most work and we could pillage some of that Geelong intellectual property.

I’ve heard from Jon Ralph that Caro has declined to go through the process
I'm not denying Mitchell's involvement, I'm shitting on people who think this is a poor appointment, despite McQ being involved as a coach in 3 flags to Mitchell's 1.
External Professionals who know their stuff, with club representatives involved, multiple interviews, referees, more interviews are not enough for you. It all boils down to you is king and Geelong midfield. Thats it. What specifically is special there for you?
If he was best choice given rigorous process, then I am happy for it and embrace it.
It’s not a popularity contest.

It would be interesting to know what strengths he’ll bring vs. what the other candidates could have offered. Would love some insight as to why he was picked, rather than the usual “brings a wealth of experience…” etc.
Good luck to him in any case!
