from memory MCG - Unit....(I'm not going back!!)...i had:

Tudor
Hinkley
Watters
Neeld
Burns
Sando....

Clearly, the re-cycled coaches were never the best option.

SAINTSFREAK....gold, pure gold :D

HBP I can't quite remember, maybe you were one of the few to rate Sanderson !!

Only reason I sort of remember mine is I had 2 exp coaches and 3 or 4 assistants at my first attempt I think (on about 15 Sept)

Watters, Richardson, Rob Harvey and Roos, Thompson.

I think this thread has been at its best when it has been about discussing the strengths and weaknesses of potential candidates, and discussing how the process has been done. It has been at its weakest when it's become a peeing contest of who has the better (supposed) insider information on who the coach WILL be.

My grandma's cousin's best friend's nephew guaranteed Grant Thomas will be coach ;)
 
ST KILDA legend Robert Harvey could turn his back on the club after failing to make the Saints' senior coaching shortlist, just weeks after being appointed caretaker to the position following Ross Lyon's shock departure.
As the collateral damage in the wake of Lyon's resignation continues, Harvey is understood to have been bitterly disappointed at not reaching the final stage of the St Kilda coaching process.
The Age understands that Collingwood is at least one club keen to secure Harvey's services. The Magpies under new coach Nathan Buckley could be one assistant down should Scott Watters win the last senior AFL coaching post for 2012.
 
what else can st kilda do for harves in these circumstances...he was given honest feedback...assured that he can remain at the club and be developed into a senior coach...hope he stays on and doesn't go to the filth.
 
Damn journos are quick to pen negative articles about unhappy assistants 2 seconds after they've been told they didn't get the job as if they expected them to be riding unicorns wearing a loin cloth attached to several helium balloons and producing rainbows out of their anus in happiness! it's like the Mark Harvey sacking all over again "so Mark, after you've just gotten the knife removed, how do you feel?"

Chances are, he'd be mighty pissed or disappointed I'd imagine, and such common sense is why I shant be entering any sort of news services or blagoblog things.

But again, Rob Harvey could walk out, like I could get lucky and find Ali Larter wanting to give me a sponge bath. Not friggen likely.
 
This thread has been fine - hardly anyone has carried on about having too much 'inside information'
I certainly have no contacts - maybe a couple of posters just mentioned they were pleased that guys they had listed as potential coaches look like they had made the shortlist. Is that still okay on here?

It's been a stressful time for all, no need at all for subtle swipes at posters.........

Yeah I don't know how Harvey could be too upset, he was probably never a realistic chance to get the job ahead of other better credentialled candidates and St Kilda still wants him to stay on as an assistant and develop him as a senior coach. It's not like he's being screwed over.

Not sure you could read too much into that article though, just a typical Caro opinion piece with all the usual "it is understood" and "it is believed" bullshit, rather than actual facts.

Would be very disappointing to see Harves leave, especially if he went to Collingwood. Hopefully he stays on at the club.

Caro has unfortunately (particularly in recent times) fallen for the media hack line of "people are saying" which they think gives them licence to print anything. What they forget to mention is that the "people" are often no name internet posters or the ramblings of the local drunk before he passes out.

Exactly. Using the word "could" "might" "it is understood"

And yet the masses will eat it up, and take it as gospel.
 
Page 77 of Herald Sun apparently floating something along the lines of Gary Ayres taking up a role at St Kilda, possibly director of coaching? Anyone seen it?

After hearing Eade talk about the role I think its a silly idea.

Answers to the head of footy, no-one under him.
Basically helps the assistant coaches (and Bucks if he is given the privilige).
Sits in the box on game day.

Not sure of the value of this sort of role, sounds like he basically walks around talking and people can listen if they choose to.
The good news is Milney is in the international squad.
 
Haven't gotten the Hun today (I stay away from tabloid media personally but the fam love the Hun) but to be fair I find the DoC role a cheap cop out from the get go as it basically states that the head coach (or assistants) is (are0 not good enough to be a head coach (assistants) without some experienced vet chirping in their ear every time they're doing something wrong, badly or "not as it was done back in 1962" and getting paid for it. If the candidate chosen needs to fill the role needs 2 / 3 individuals above them how to do their job whilst everyone else is running around with 1 (Director/head of the footy departments or in case of assistant head coach as well) then obviously you've made a call far too early for it to be any good.

Specialist roles sure, but when coaches need coaches you're a bureaucracy.

Seems like a lot of opportunity for bullshit politics that no-one needs in their workplace.

Fly, I don't understand why you take 10 lines to say something that could be said in 2?

Got a special keyboard we don't know about?


In reagrds to Ayres it seems a popular model. The director basically lets the coach just focus on coaching and that's it. Has merit.

I waffle sometimes, hence the usual line at the end.
