Rocket Eade, a perfect fit for Melbourne?

[GO EAGLES]

Just the way he goes about it. Venemous sometimes.

All his experience and with a pretty talented young list

I think he would be a good fit and provide energy to the club

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I think Choco would be better...

 

[Defacto]

choco will be the coach at GWS

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Any coach that can give the players a kick up the ass would be a good coach for Melbourne

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Sounds good to me.

If we do bring him in to coach us, he'll be linking up with Scott West again too, which also would be beneficial I think.

 

[42DM]

Melbourne could do far worse than appoint Eade. They certainly need a senior and experienced coach to bring out the best in their young and talented list.
I wont be surprised if he is given the job.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Eade has the experience at developing a young squad. He also won't accept mediocrity. Eade would be an excellent option for the Dees.

 

[Ando727]

I wouldn't fight it. I just want somebody to come in and toughen these kids up and make them earn their place in the team. I think Williams would have a similar effect. I'm not sure who's better really.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I think Melbourne have said they'd prefer an experienced coach this time, so I imagine Eade would be a very high priority.

 

[The Griff]

Sounds good to me.

If we do bring him in to coach us, he'll be linking up with Scott West again too, which also would be beneficial I think.

They can catch up for a chat about how he pushed Westy out the door.

 

[Acecordy]

dont no overrated imo

 

[dook]

Lyon doesn't rate him.

 

[Ted38]

Lyon doesn't rate him.

Gary sit on the fence Lyon should stick to running The Footy Show along with the other dunces at Channel Eddie!

 

[Firebat]

Going the trend of new coaches they'll pick an ex hard nut defensively minded player between 34-40 years

 

[stickman11]

I think Choco would be better...

Nobody rates choco - not players anyway.

I think eade struggles with the modern game

 

[scooter600x]

Lyon doesn't rate him.

Eade's forgotten more about football than Lyon will ever know.

The Melbourne board would be irresponsible and incompetent if they don't appoint Eade.

 

[stui magpie]

Good coach but has coached the second most games without winning a flag. Can get a team close but can't seal the deal.

Perfect fit for Melbourne.

 

[windyhill]

"I`m a career coach" I find this statement trotted out by blokes like Eade & others highly entertaining.

 

[Buddy and Roughy]

Good coach but has coached the second most games without winning a flag. Can get a team close but can't seal the deal.

Might be more to do with his club being unable to support him with the financial resources required to compete with big spenders Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn and St. Kilda in recent years.

What Eade achieved at the Bulldogs was quite incredible; the AFL is not a fair playing ground between clubs, so you cannot simply determine the coaching credentials of someone purely based on premierships. Malthouse has had a far far greater opportunity to win a premiership because of the club he's coaching.

I don't think Eade could have done anything more at the Bulldogs; if ever there was an instance where a club not winning a premiership was not the fault of the coach, this is it.

 

[djrossie16]

Perfect fit for Port Adelaide

 

[Mervyn Beasley]

The modern game has passed him by they are saying.

Was the game old fashioned in 08, 09, & 2010??

 

[Murraj1966]

You could argue that Eade has been the Dogs best coach since 1961, so I don't see why he couldn't give the Melbourne players the great boot up the arse they need.

 

[Inferno]

Probably the best realistic choice for the Dees.

 

[Bassy]

I like the fit. Although I don't think he has it in him to win it, he will at least make Melbourne competitive which is a step up from now. Also who else is there?

 

[Lemma]

Actually agree. If Melbourne can't get Malthouse (which is very unlikely), they should definitely go for Rocket.
