(I think it was) made a good point on Sunday that with Mini doing a pretty good job and winning that what it means is the panel who are selecting the next coach are going to need to be an outstanding candidate to unseat him. The players love mini and he was already viewed by the club as a head coach in waiting. So the bar has been set very high.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

I'm not sold on Mini...
Even in getting the win against the hawks, there was a lot of the same old s**t for the first 3 qtrs

Jeez, there was fast moving handball chains going belly up through poor skills.

Hand balling behind a bloke running past not only breaks down the play, it increases the chances of injury when the guy needs stop and retrieve it.

 

[Lacustrus]

his nickname is Mini

Also ‘the count’ is trending

 

[Truetiger]

He has the same team and no off season to change anything, what he is doing that Dimma didn't often do is making changes that turns games, I like him, the players seem to like him not sure anyone else will be better?

Still we have to turn every rock to make sure Mini is the man.

If Mini is the man, then we beat Melbourne. Then he will almost have it.

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

Forget who said it yesterday but they reckoned it's like The Americas Cup and Mini is already in the final waiting to go up against the best one of the challengers.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

TBH, I have warmed to Mini.

He has tinkered a little with the game style. Ha has put faith in kids and hasn't thrown them out straight away after one bad performance.

He is not afraid to make big moves during games. He has the respect of the players. He's left Balta down back even when opponents look like they might have a day out and he has almost always bounced back.

He doesn't lose his cool in the coach's box and thinks through all scenarios.

Very impressive. I don't think he could have been more impressive as we don't have a top 4 side any more.

Welcome new senior coach mini

Still four business days left

 

[TigerImposter]

I’ll be disappointed if minibus gets the job without the club contacting other possible candidates. I thought we were going to be doing our due diligence and tick all the boxes. Why does the application process have to end on Friday as we have important games coming up to see if minibus can cut the mustard?
Sounds like a Boys Club if this happens.

I am sure they will, Caro said only him Ralph said 4 others. I trust the club know what they are doing. Can’t Always trust the media.

Unless we drop away considerably I can’t see how anyone else but mini gets it. It’s not like we are looking for an experienced coach with runs on the board, we’re looking at first time coaches so it would need to be someone that absolutely blows them away in the interview if they go with anyone else.

Mini had the job 3 years ago this is nothing more then a box ticking exercise

The other applicants will be blokes who coach in new Zealand so we can say we did out dur Dilligence

This has always been a succession plan

The club could have come out and appointed him as soon as Dimma left if they wanted too. Why wait?

Hilarious

dribbles by name dribbles by nature

 

[captain blood 17]

I would leave him as sub against Melbourne but would have him in the 22 against Bulldogs

Don’t mind it. We reckon this week tag Lever with Mansell (give him some Towner like nightmares) and chuck Miller on May to free up Jack.

Why would the club have preferred Mini 3 years ago over say McRae? What is so good about Mini?

I will be bloody furious if they don’t look elsewhere and interview others outside the club.

They've stated 1 millions times that they will interview outside the club

They also said they're doing it just so you aren't 'bloody furious'

Overnight success

Okay so who is Yappie dribbles and why do they seem so sure that it’s all already decided? Please excuse my ignorance if I’m missing something here.

 

[Yappie dribbles]

He did but was told 3 yeaes ago with the rest of us
