When McKenna left GCS and half the squad was on the gear. He'll go a treat back at home.

IIRC it came down to Longmuir and one of the Rawlings brothers (I can't remember which).
The thing with JLo that people seem to forget is that he was one of/if not the most highly regarded assistants in the league and thought of to be very ready to take the next step. It isn't like we just went with an ex-Freo player for shits and giggles.

Goes to Collingwood - They contest for a flag after he puts in the defensive structures and is a smoother edge to Bucks
Leaves Collingwood - The bottom falls out.
May just be coincidence.
Which makes the eagles approach even more bizarre. They're literally just approaching every single ex-eagle in assistant (and even administrative) roles. If they don't start looking at the best available assistants regardless of club they're just going to appoint Schofield and continue with the exact same system they've had for the last 3 years.
Which would be hilarious of course, but strange

No one in their right mind wants to coach WC now, so they'll just take what they can get this time around.
What's incredibly funny about the shambles that WC is, is that people think Don Pyke having high IQ that makes him smart. What it really means is that he's a muppet who nobody can understand. The Crows still haven't got rid of his stink.
Long live Don Pyke.

‘Deplorable’: Eade fires rocket at Eagles
Ex-AFL coach Rodney Eade has fired a rocket at the Eagles, declaring it’s no surprise potential candidates are turning their noses up at coaching West Coast amid the club’s “deplorable” standards.

Fair to say Eade is out of the coaching race for West Coast. Pity - would’ve been hilarious.
I really can’t see a club hiring a coach who’s been outside the system completely for many years (someone correct me if that isn’t the case).
I think Ross Lyon was out for two and he’d be just about the only one. A fair few have taken one year off only.
It was always why I was confident we’d never be stupid enough to hire Peter Sumich tbh. Really was surprised he got as far into our process as he did.

Bluey was an absolute nutcase at Claremont. Word on the street is the players hated his guts. Absolute arsehat.
Anyone who thinks he did a good job at Gold Coast should do my performance appraisal this year. That’d be mint.
So, in short, he’s perfect.

Can you imagine the coaches box with Rocket coaching the Eagles?

One of the all-time train wreck interviews. They're calling for her head on the Melbourne board because of it.

Yeah.
Only it won't be West Coast.
How do you feel about 10 + F1 + Switta for Kozzi and R3?

One of the comments is interesting. 'Shouldn't this be the new coaches decision?'
Not a bad point.
Also now the season is over, has Schofield been demoted back to assistant coach level? And now the board is deciding who should be the other assistant coaches and then finally they select a head coach? It's weird.
That would appear a good fit
(I don't mind being crass)
I got in trouble at work because I thought harass was 2 words
