Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
So we ignore our ex assistant coaches, vice captains and best and fairest's as non events ?
I note Eade is on nobody's shortlist either Einstein

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
I was happy with Cameron too. But after reading the OP I'm not so sure.

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
Perhaps rather than you can expand in detail why my opening post has changed your opinion ?
It was my Opening Post not Leon Cameron's C.V
So why should my post shift your opinion, unless of course your trying to follow someone else's post.

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
Why don't you grow a brain einstein and explain why he isn't good enough to be on any other clubs shortlist.
Eade has atleast been spoken to by both clubs and has impressed. Which other club has even interviewed Cameron.
If being a vice captain and best and fairest winner of our club was a requirement then give the job to Scott West.

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
Just that your list of reasons seem very spurious. And when it is put together quite like that Leon seems to be an unconvincing candidate. The fact is none of us have any clue about who would be good or bad.
Plus your comparison of Eade and Wallace was blatantly wrong.
And yes it's the vibe...

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
So nobody else has interviewed Leon, eh?
Could it be that Leon has told other clubs not to bother interviewing him? [Taps side of nose]
Or that other clubs haven't bothered with him on the same assumption?
If he's the best available candidate so be it, but I would be disturbed if he really was lined up some months ago - even 12 months ago - as some posts have suggested.
It would indicate a considerable lack of respect for Eade, the other candidates, the WB supporters and the general public if that is the case. Not to mention lack of respect for proper process.
That's one reason why I would be happy of it went to the likes of Neeld or Sanderson. It would lay to rest the scuttlebutt about an inside job. But if Cameron's gets the gig we will never know for sure.

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
Ignore some of the people on here. They will have a crack at you if you happen to dare disagree with their opinion. The purpose of this forum is to express your own opinion.
I don't have a problem with Leon Cameron being appointed as senior coach, as long as he is the best candidate chosen through a competent, independent and transparent process.
Now, is this occurring? I don't know. There certainly is a perception that Cameron is mates with select Bulldogs officials. This obviously, and rightly so, concerns a few of the people on this forum. The concern is two fold:
- will the personal friendship influence the selection of the coach?
- because of that friendship, will the Bulldogs officials seek to hire Cameron as a form of consolidating their own position within the club?
Maybe none of this is happening! I don't know. To have any idea, you would have to be close to the club and 'in the know'.

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
We are a flophouse at the moment.
We have a bloke on the selection panel that should have his position at the club under serious review, such has been his incompetence in list management and player contract negotiations.

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
Leon Cameron is a good bloke, but I don't want him as our next coach.
He's too close to the club, we need an outsider - such as Scott Burns or my choice Brendan McCarthy, not someone who knows the players and may be too friendly with them.

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
Well i hope you have calmed down on it a bit Dogs r Barking, IIRC you claimed to throw in your membership should Leon be appointed. i hope it was just you venting about Eade not having his contract re-newed and you will stay on board no matter who is the next coach

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
Leon Cameron will be a fantastic Coach of our Club.
Very clever guy who has been involved with two other Clubs.
Before he went to Hawthorn there was talk of him and Eade doing a Malthouse/Buckley style handover. IIRC Leon even took the reins as Head Coach for one match.
Amazing nobody here remembers this.
My guess is that Management decided that we could not afford the Collingwood style handover.

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
The problem for the club about appointing Leon are along the lines of
- He is a reluctant public speaker which isn't ideal for a club that needs the coach to sell the vision.
- His voice is already too familiar to the majority of the playing group and they probably need to hear someone else.
- One year away won't have built his resume substantially
- If we are truly breaking away from Rocket then don't we need someone else?
The pluses for him are
- He already has strong support at the club and someone will have to put forward an outstanding application to beat him.
- It's a very easy appointment for the committee to make without sparking a lot of questions around the recruitment process.
I just hope that the committee hadn't already made up their minds before they interviewed the others.
I think there will be an announcement early next week.

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
RL I don't remember saying I will throw in my membership, I did however question whether the club has robust governance practices and whether I should renew my membership based on this, - bit of difference I would have thought.
How would you feel if you were going for a job and heard that someone already has been earmarked for it - would you say it was unethical, poor practice, and all about looking after favourites rather than getting the best candidate for the job?

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
Those who want Cameron may get their wish. The word is that, believe it or not, the club wants someone with intimate knowledge of the club (i.e. a former player or assistant). Others, Sanderson and Hinkley for example, will be interviewed but that's the way it's going apparently.

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
sorry mate not trying to stir you up, i just remember you not being happy when rocket didnt get re-appointed
I'm gutted!!!!
Rocket has brought professionalism and stability to our club, we earned the respect of the competition under him. If they appoint Cameron I will have to think very hard if I want to stay a member.

Re: Leon Cameron my choice for coach
I am confident whoever the Bulldogs choose as their next senior coach that it will be the best candidate possible as the selection panel is very high quality. I would like to know outside of Leon Cameron who they are officially interviewing with Burns, Neeld, Sanderson, Hinkley, Goodwin and Simpson being good outside options for new direction.
