The Collingwood Football Club has finalised its full-time senior coaching panel with the appointment of Brenton Sanderson as assistant coach.

Sanderson brings a wealth of coaching experience to the group, having held senior and assistant coaching roles at various AFL clubs and completed two years as head coach of the AFL National Academy where he worked closely with the country’s most talented teenagers.

Sanderson arrives at the Holden Centre as part of a football department revamp, joining Robert Harvey and Scott Burns as the three men to stand side by side with senior coach Nathan Buckley in 2017.

I feel like this is good progress. Something bigger is building for 2017.

So, he will be the Senior Assistant to Bucks with Harvey taking over the back line?

 

[Jonno94]

If he is taking over the forward line then who is going to be the senior assistant? Tapping hasn't coached in the AFL before, it would be a huge upgrade if it is him.

 

[Soups]

I think it's a good move for our young kids. By all reports I've had he's been excellent with the academy kids.

 

[ChuMan]

Happy with this appointment. Sanderson to take care of the forward line and our ball movement according to the statement.

If he is taking over the forward line then who is going to be the senior assistant? Hopefully Tapping, but he hasn't coached in the AFL before.

The article said the coaching line up is finalised which would suggest they Tapping is staying in the VFL.

Without a senior assistant? Wut, is Buckley going to do it all himself?

I think that's the way he likes it.

Looking forward to the period in 2-4 years of young players coming to us saying they have a good relationship with Sando due to the academy, similar to Taylor Adams and Bucks.

Good to see some experience arrive. Yes he was sacked (?) from Adelaide but you can't deny that he knew what he was doing.

Look forward to next year. Welcome.

Could we be giving Choco a call up for senior assistant? Punted from Richmond

If he's not good enough for Richmond, he's not good enough for us *

* Unless he was used as a scapegoat because they couldn't afford to sack the coach.

They mentioned with Balme not taking up the role it leaves a vacancy in the director of coaching.
Also said if that role is filled they can spend $$ elsewhere, I suggested a ruck coach but no-one heard me.

Isn't Maric going to be the ruck coach?

 

[nahnah]

Hopefully he's a (way) better forward coach than the last two

Don't know.

Would love to poach Monkey from Hawthorn as ruck coach

 

[Maggie5]

Well that is surprising news. Who would have thought?

Welcome to the final reckoning year Sando.

Maybe a full time development coach and some more draft scouts would be useful.

 

[jmac70]

The real question is will Sando have an office next door to Bucks?

I heard they are sharing.

Cosy. Those boys are going to be enjoying a lot of cappuccinos together.

Yep, this is a huge pro in a situation like this. He has in-depth knowledge of many of the NA's best young kids, and will hopefully use that knowledge and the relationships he built with those kids to get them to the Pies.
