News Return of the King

[iameviljez]

Those 3 were very good 200 game players , and Thompson was an Ess prem capt

Clarkson is the only one in your list who you can compare to Skipworth , just absolute battlers and no good at all

They were good as in solid good.

But honestly, who cares whether Skipworth was good or a battler? What's relevant is whether the guy can coach.

Given https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09...even-king-collapses-medical-episode/104376432 - I dare say WCE will be a bit less wiling to take him on.

All I can say is that my wife worked on the trials for one of the drugs... if she were getting kickbacks, we'd be living in a nicer suburb by now.

From all of those involved with the Geelong footy club and those that are not, we all wish him a speedy recovery.

He will get all of the support he needs. I would be pleased to mow his lawn

I had visions of him leaving the club and returning in 5 or so years as our head coach.

 

[My Tilly]

Is there any news on how he is doing?

Club would have sorely missed his game-time coaching on Saturday

Sounds like he won’t be going to West Coast. Hoping all is well on the health front, but great to keep him around for another year.

What makes you say this? I can't recall it being reported he's out of the running for the Eagles gig?

The interesting bit of news in the last 48hours is that Scarlett has reportedly sounded out an assistant coaching gig should King get the role out west

With King or with Geelong?

I thought Scarlett was one of the ones who basically white anted King when he was captain. I'd be surprised if we went back to him too after he burnt some bridges with his last assistant stint.

Apparently to join at WCE

Damo on Sunday footy show indicating that McQualter will get the gig.

Or maybe it's Scarlett being sounded out - seemed a little weird based on history

That was 20 years ago, even if true

Ah okay, cheers for that.

Good outcome for us, but disappointing for King on a personal level if true

Here's a surprise

If anyone checked the coaches page for our AFL team, there was a certain name missing from it today

Rahilly isn't listed either though.

Maybe nobody got around to updating it last year?

Knowing us, that's most likely what's happened

I think he means Scarlett would go over there with king. Would make for interesting derbies with Scarlett and Clark.

Wonder how Scarlett & Kelly got along?

I know Scarlett was obviously our defensive coach, but you’d think there’s a bit of cross over in there somwhere


Damien Barrett has reportedly said that McQualter is now the favorite, yet prior to the interviews one report had Skipworth as favourite. Richmond fans are heavily invested as it seems a few players may preference WCE as their destination if McQualter gets the gig - some are saying McQualter won’t get the gig or that he’s too nice for the role, someone else said “I know for sure King wont get it”

And then there’s still the folks waiting for an announcement that Longmire is heading to the other side of the country

Using the Wayback machine, looks like that's exactly what's happened.

King isn't there because... he was never added.
