Rumour Phil Walsh to Crows

[DazzaTys]

I know we should be angry that he's been linked to the cows but it's a great indication of how great our club is now. Firstly Richardson, clubs trying to steal Burgo and now Walsh. Spread the Port love I say. #nevertearusapart.

Ermahgerd guys, we're terring the scurm erpert! Go Crews!

 

[spookism]

Patrick Ryder didn't show for the Essendon B&F after he asked to be traded to Port. Would Walsh really turn up to ours if he was leaving in a few days?

 

[HaroldOliver]

I know Cameron Ling has said that he won't jump into coaching next year, but I would like the club to target him as an assistant. Ken loves him too!

He then might notice how good Ollie Wines is.

 

[Dalphonso]

So they've given sando the boot with absolutely no plan to follow up.
Typical.

Probably had Thompson in the bag .

 

[Jars458]

They must think we are doing something right and they want to emulate it.The campaigners can't think for themselves can they

So you took hinkley because Gold Coast were doing something right? Lol.

Who was your plan post Primus?

 

[PA88]

Are people doubting that Walsh is leaving to go to the crows?

 

[Rankor]

Who was your plan post Primus?

So your saying sando was as bad as primus?

We HAD to make a change from primus. Not sure about your club.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Who was your plan post Primus?

The right man standing.

 

[stewie griffen]

Does it really matter? It sucks that we lose an assistant, but you can't stand in the way of a guy getting a senior job.

This!

Though I do like that their ruthless, no stone unturned, national search for the absolute best started and ended with an assistant at the local rivals.

 

[yepits2020]

Very annoying loosing Walsh. Walsh going for the job is annoying. Getting a good assistant to replace him is going to be very difficult. Getting Walsh was an absolute bonus for us. I believe we were working on getting Walsh. I doubt we have someone that we were going to bring in to replace him. Make no mistake, this will be a massive loss for us.

The good assistants will be also be locked up in contracts.

 

[chiwigi]

Relevance? You know that we were in a far different position to what you are in.

 

[yepits2020]

So, they were after him as an assistant. Now, he will get the senior role. Worst case is that he provides intel during the interview and say thanks.

Seriously? He's a professional who, if this falls through will stay at port. Failing that he's a career coach who wants to be hired again, he's not spilling intel in an interview.

 

[yepits2020]

The last assistant to leave us after one season went well for them. Can't see Walshy making the same mistake. It's a poisoned challace at west lakes.

Richardson did not come across as being successful as a senior coach. I suspect he was picked up purely because St Kilda believed he could replicate what Happened at Port. Things went the other way. Richardson will end up building a new list and then being dumped just before success beckons.

I don't know too much about Walsh. I know he is a great tactician, our midfield set ups improved out of sight. But that is not what makes a senior coach successful. He will have a good list to work with, especially in the midfield, so may well be successful. If he does a Richardson, he will not get the same support and if he wants to stay in football in Adelaide, then it won't be in the AFL.

There are three things that would lose sleep over losing. Kochi Ken and Burgo with our list where it is at every thing else off field is interchangeable. I actually like the idea of bringing in a fresh face or two into the coaching group if the opportunity arose.

 

[yepits2020]

What, he is going to say that I will only tell you about how I would coach, structures, set up and expectations if I get the job. O.k. I believe.

 

[stewie griffen]

Of course there will things discussed about his philosophy and playing style, list management and so on, but in the context of the crows.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter, it happens with assistants moving around and players getting traded every year

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Kenny getting quite the reputation in coaching circles it would seem.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

...cool their jets...

Ughhhhh

Crows already know how we set up. What club doesn't?
You have the right list you can make pretty well every move you call look good. On a personal level I don't rate the Crows midfield I believe Sanderson actually got as much out of them as there was Walsh nor anyone else changes that. They are about 4 quality midfielders and a key defender short of being anything other than a 12th to 8th ranked side.

 

[PhoenixPower]

Would be a shockingly underwhelming appointment for the crows if they go with Walsh

I'd be straight on the phone to old mate McKenna if I was Hinkley

Of course.
