In the Sunday times today they mentioned that Matera is intrested in being a coach and has applied at both Freo and West Coast. Matera is apparently more likely end up at Freo.

If he has something to offer as a coach, good. If he gets the job because he was a good footballer, not good.
Good football players arent necessarilly intelligent communicators.
Not knowing him personally I cannot comment.

I'm not against it if he can coach.

Hmmm, it would seem that Freo are struggling to fill the assistant coaches positions. I believe they went all out to get Chris Bond back but couldn't get him.
Add peter Mann and Spider Burton to the failed attempts and where are we now????
Dimmer is the man but can CC afford to have someone who might be regarded as a challenge to himself given that he would need to succeed this time around?
Scott from Brissy?

I'd take Dimmer in a shot...coached Sowf really well this year...he's a little dark on Freo because of the way he was treated there last time, tho.Sailor said:
Peter Matera was arguably the best ever Eagles player however something tells me that he might struggle a little when it comes down to communicating........Lets see if the Guru's at Fremantle can get it right.......I would have thought that Dimmer was a certain for an assistant's roll.....
Matera would be handy.
He would be able to teach Medders & the Wiz how to control their emotions when things don't go their way.

Don't do it Freo,you must realize if Fremantle finish top 6(which as an opposition supporter thinks you can)with Matera on your coaching panel.

You are joking Rip?.
Admired Roo for some of his brilliant games, but if there was one chink in his armour, it was that he was very easy to stir up. I don't think he ever solved the "stirring up" chink.
Wouldn't complain about him having a coaching role (but can good footballers become good coaches?). Boot out Malaxos might be the way to go.
As for people talking about Broadbridge, he is doing ok. From my "sources", all speak highly of his input at Freo.

With Waterman being there previously and now possibly Matera, perhaps these old Eagles players are sabotaging the club from the inside? 
Probably not, but it is a thought.

Ok Rip, you got me there.
I'm just re-programming my brain from holiday mode............... but the alcohol over the last hour or two is helping.

A couple more and you will get there.
Roo would at least be able to teach them how to act like proper fruit-cakes.

I was watching ABC news and we apparently have approached Peter Sumich and Mark Harvey for an assistant spot
my mail says Harvey wont leave the Bombers unless he gets a head job

and Tony Micale and Chris Bond and you were rejected on all fronts.
You guys should try and develop some coaches of your own. I dont want to preach, but I always have this feeling that Freo have a mentality of thinking that the grass is always greener on the other sides. Always trying to recruit coaches/ players from other clubs.
