Neeld going to Melbourne
That leaves Cameron, Williams and Mccarthy, only one of which I would like.
Can somebody confirm that the reported final 4 is even correct? Why is Sanderson not in there? Why have I not read anything about Cameron making it to the final round of the other clubs looking for a coach?
It is really lookling like Cameron is going to coach, I really hope this is a decision made now and not a marriage from 12 months ago.

Not a mod
Im not believing the Neeld to Melbourne rumour until it is official. It may happen, but the amount of rumours we hear about coaching shows that nothing is set in concrete.
The crows or us may hear about this supposed Neeld offer, and then quickly offer him more.
We shall wait and see.
EDIT: Garry Lyon confirms a decision has been made. Pretty much guaranteed I suppose.

I wanted McArtney at Melb. He never played in the VFL and he's 50 years of age, but he's really impressive. In some ways it would be a bold move, but in others it's very safe. He'd be a terrific coach.
Paul Williams is the worst orator I've ever heard. I would hate him as a senior coach.

Theres are still plenty of good coaches available.
But, If it is an "upset on the cards" it would be that McCartney has got the job over Cameron.
Burns to Crows
Neeld to Dees
McCartney to Dogs
Sanderson to Pies (head assistant)
Eade probably won't get another head coaching job this year.
Saints are too far back to know.

Not much is know about Brendan McCartney but below are some selected quotes on him as a coach, from people that have worked with him.
May 1st 2011 –
…"I can't imagine there's a better coach in Australia in the way he develops players and teaches them to play football," Hird said of Brendan McCartney. "I'm surprised someone like that hasn't had a chance at senior level, because in my time in footy I don't think I've met a better coach."
"First and foremost, he genuinely cares about his players," says Tom Harley, who long before becoming a dual premiership captain was an unheralded member of a young Geelong back line under McCartney's tutelage. Harley recalls he, Matthew Scarlett, Brenton Sanderson and other defenders often dining with Brendan, Kirsty and their children at the McCartney home.
"He could tell you in a football sense exactly where you were at in one sentence, and ask how you were going personally in the next," McTaggart says. "He always finished with a positive."
The qualities Cunningham recalls keep coming up with all who have encountered him. "He put a lot of one-on-one time into players. He was insistent on winning the contested situation in-close, the man-on-man. If you went against the gameplan he was hard as nails."
Harley says his black-and-white approach equates to fairness. "The most important part of any sort of teaching is the follow-up, and he would put hours and hours into you." He sees the McCartney philosophy as essentially old school: win your own contest, and never, ever give up. "If you're not willing to relish the contest, you won't survive too long under any regime that Macca's involved in."
….His record, Harley says, speaks for itself. "He worked with a very young defensive group at Geelong, and by the mid-part of that decade and obviously through the premiership years we had the runs on the board as the No. 1-ranked defence in the competition.
….."He took over the midfield in our premiership years and blooded two Brownlow Medallists [Jimmy Bartel and Gary Ablett] and a really strong midfield that's the envy of a lot of the competition."
"We knew straight away that he had strong ideas about football and where it was going," says Hamilton, who thinks the mix of teacher, mentor and father figure married to his match-day work in the box have already been hugely influential. "He provides very clear solutions to any problems or opportunities that present."

Dunno. But I'm sure he went to Essendon before Bomber and before the Cats had finalised their coach (?)

They all sound great on paper, proof is in the pudding so no matter who we get only time will tell if we made the right choice.

Macca is the coach. Great news.
We need his hard edge approach to clean out some deadwood and develop our kids
