Coach Off Season changes 2024/25

[BlueE]

He’s already previously been employed by the club

Under the Ross regime

And he left.

His knowledge and analysis from Wed night 6PR radio segments and GF call hints that he could have been extremely useful working with Freo.

It was a genuine question. I was wondering why he wasn't reemployed when he came back to Perth from Brisbane a year ago.

I like the idea of getting Simpson as an assistant. Simmo and Jeremy McGovern

are the feature guests at an event at the Bunbury Golf Club this coming Saturday. Same place I watched the Grand Final yesterday. Saw the promos for it. Thought it weird that a current player and sacked coach would still be doing a paid gig together. Guess it was booked before he got sacked. Tickets start at $65ea. $1000 gets you a table with a platter of food and 3 jugs of beer.

Join Adam Simpson and Star Jeremy McGovern

I'd suggest you get to the food platter before McGovern does.

People actually pay for that shite? What for?

A true freo fan would let Jeremy eat as much as he wanted, then offer him an after dinner mint

I want to know who we're getting in to replace Bob Murphy and Matty Boyd. Any rumours?

There must be some news now the season is over

Yeah I genuinely believe these appointments have as (nearly if Pickett comes aswell)much bearing on the clubs direction next year as who get on field

is leaving Richmond, can't find anything about him having something else lined up.

Simpson and Teague taking over from Boyd and Murphy is best case scenario, imo.

Rumoured to Adelaide I think.

 

[DragoDelph]

Though wouldn’t mind having graham take over the backs, and Teague take the forward line.

 

[DeanS]

Am I right in saying Bob Murphy's role wasn't an assistant coach one? I thought he was some sort of player support guy/spiritual leader. If I'm right, shoving an assistant coach into the role could be a mistake. The role needs quite specific skills.

Kinda sorta?

Think he ended up as specialist skills coach and AFLW head?

Just checked the website. His title is Skills Specialist and Head Of Leadership.

 

[Big Animal]

Yeah Bob spent a fair bit of time with the women, then came back into the men's program but they sort of created a role around him rather than he took an existing role. If you don't have an equivalent character wanting to come in, I don't see the need to keep the role. Really just need to replace Boyd.

 

[Gussman]

I wonder if Freo could poach Michael Barlow from North. One of my favorite players and apparently a very good coach.

’s status at West Coast?

He’s been around a while mostly away from Freo. Not sure if he’s all that good but seems to have the right level of experience for the line coach we’d need and has worked with both JL and Graham in the past.

They moved him to skills coach for the mens team last season.

Murray Davis (Brisbane assistant) has been appointed at Adelaide.

Teague still an option then.

Mundy time

 

[DeanS]

Mundy time

People need to come to terms with the fact that Mundy has no interest in coaching. He hasn't done the AFL accreditation course which is proof of that. So please stop putting his name forward. It ain't happening.

 

[DragoDelph]

We want people who have been to the pinnacle, either as players or as part of successful coaching groups.

Ex-players can do their apprenticeship elsewhere

I agree but some would be against even bringing in those that did their apprenticeship elsewhere.

We’re not in Melbourne so it’s harder to recruit assistants. Guys that played for our club would probably be more likely to be open to it. There’s Freo ex-players coaching at other clubs that have had no involvement with Freo for 8-15 years but that won’t be good enough for some people.

More than happy to bring our ex-players back if well qualified. Mundy hasn’t coached in any capacity at AFL level. He starts at the bottom whether that’s with us or someone else - I don’t believe we’re looking for someone at the bottom though.
