Preview Next AFC Coach For 2016 & Beyond

[Bicks]

Not worried about him being appointed, just curious as to the delay in the announcement.

Have you met him yet?

If TMS is a long time AFC man there would be a fair chance. lol

Find out when the Board next sits, add a day and then you will have an announcement date

Will be announced tomorrow. Meeting today was to formalise contract, terms etc and get it locked. Was too late to get it announced and presser organised tomorrow.

Not a fan of waiting until next week. It's important to have a coach in place before the trade week.

A year ago to the day we announced Walshy as our coach so there might be some reluctance to do it today as it might leave bad taste with some.

Opinion or fact?

Fact. Were aiming for a late afternoon presser today but couldn't put it together. Today was formalities, not a final interview.

Lindsay Head eh.....what a gun....

Number 17 - 'The Artful Dodger' - was my favorite footballer when I was a much...much younger, than I now feel!

Don't worry about reports, he is the new coach.

What position will he play you next year?

Any news on assistants?

C'mon people. Ch10 just interviewed Fegan at the airport on the way out to interview Pyke. He said we are on target to announce our coach by the end of next week.

No he didn't, he said were still on track to announce the new coach within the first two weeks of October.

Doesn't the AFC have that new fangled thing called the internet or Skype or something??

Yep, you'd only physically go over there if you wanted to hold a press conference. Pykes got too much packing to do to fly here, hencwe go over there. Expect announcement tomorrow

You don't sign a contract over Skype.

Unless you're Dean Laidley.

I expect they do but I wouldn't recommend using it for something this important unless you had no choice

 

[Schulzycrow]

That's what I mean, presentations are over with. Signing contracts are what are happening. Hopefully we have a coach by Friday and ready to sit in on the most important trade period in the club's history..

I hope you are right about the contract. I actually meant you wouldn't use Skype for a presentation. Also there's no way IMHO that they'd do the announcement presser in Perth. No matter how much packing Pyke's got to do they'd bring him here for the announcement at the club with Tex and local media

Anyhoo like all of us I hope it's just the formalities and we hear this week

Pyke didn't want Rucci at the presser

So they are flying to Perth for fun then?

We're buying a couple of cheap mines.

Talking Fyfe into coming over

Who hasn't done that before??

 

[Bicks]

Haha, Karl Langdon will be there though, he's almost on the same level as Rucci...

Who are we planning to blow up then?
