West Coast Eagles Assistant Coaches

They must have meant the Batman guy.

Thats Adam West Swannies..

I look at our football department and I see a sick Danniher, a first year coach and Longmuir. This could get very ugly.

This year didn't look much better, so it doesn't bother me

Disagree with this so much, completely overrated player........

S West: 300 game player, All Australian 1998,2000,2004,2005,2006. Seven club B&F 2nd in Brownlow to Goodes. Named in WB team of the century. No I guess he's no good.

I would have thought Worsfold would be the ideal director of coaching.

No way, love Woosha but he's cant have anything to do with the coaches IMO.
Wouldn't mind seeing him as a board member in a yr or 2, probably wrong but we may be one of the only clubs with no x-player on the board.

Sad to see Burns go, but a fresh start is a a good idea

There now have been several coaches "fall on their swords" so to speak, so it is now time for the playing group to step up and put in the work and performances

I said overrated, not no good.
God knows how he got that many All Australians, obviously I wasn't on the panel.

scott west has some questionable history with what he did at the bulldogs in one season so unsure whether we'd want someone like that here.

After reading bf forum pages don't want West anymore!! was not aware of his misgivings, don't need that as a leader at our club.

Wha

I really would have thought a lot more discussion on this board would have been around the lack of a skills coach seeing as our skills were abysmal this year

Every player went backwards with skills

t happened with Tommy Kemp , he was there for a while the gone, I thought he would have been a good skills coach

 

[Nev57]

Phil Scott for Ruck coach, or Coxy part-time this year for a full time role next year.

Agree with both of those Scotty was ruck coaching a few years Ago and was good but also a very good tap ruck man himself
But I would be keeping hold of Coxy , he would be a very good ruck coach

Ok guys so who would we like?Theres not many candidates around.Its so late that most assistants are signed up.Mind you didn't Burns have a year to run on his contract but still left anyway?Maybe we need to throw lots of cash at experienced assistants at other clubs to come across and assist Simpson.

All we have at the moment is Longmuir and im sure Simpson would like a few more experienced guys to bounce ideas off.

I think since Voss is free,maybe hed be worth talking to,since he has had 5 years in the top job.Maybe Ricciuto if we could convince him?Any others anybody can think of?Whos highly rated as an assistant coach out there?(I know Tudor is,but hes going to North I heard).

thoughts?

 

[Nev57]

I have heard that same from someone who has a part time and minor role with the club.

Last year we were one of the top 4 teams for skills and this year i would say we looked pretty close to the worst. We NEED a skills coach and i hope we implement one.

Simpson on Friday night also said he was looking at getting someone to be director of coaching.

I know this is left field but what about Gary Ayres? I did hear that WCE were semi interested in him but not sure what sort of role. But he would be a good choice to head up director of coaching and would be a good senior mentor to Simpson.

Gary had a decent enough record as senior coach and recently has been coaching Port Melbourne who was pretty hard to beat for a number of years.

Nathan Bassett should also be considered as a backline coach.

Ruck coach i have no idea really....maybe get the ball rolling for Cox post career and have him become a part time role as a ruck coach?

Would love to keep Burns as senior assistant and he could be handy in helping Simpson get to know the squad. Word is he clashed with Woosha in parts towards the end so would love to see what ideas he has.

Voss would be a good get also and could slot in anywhere really and would be a good development coach.

Scott west could also be available as he said on trade radio he is open to going interstate and listed Perth and Brisbane.

My ideal setup:

Director of coaching: Gary A

Senior Coach: Adam Simpson

Senior Assistant: Scott Burns

Backline: Basset

Midfield: Voss

Forward: Longmuir

Skills: Kemp

Ruck: ???

Strategy and innovations ?

Development: A Selwood

Ruck Phil Scott did a good job a few years ago , not sure about his work situation though

 

[BloominH]

We should be thowing $$$$, to get best available in all positions. Money Talks

 

[BloominH]

Trade Radio: Voss to West Coast may be off the table they are talking now about him being better off going to Hawthorn taking Adam Simpson's place.

Hope not he would be one to get

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Where is Harvey at? What about Laidley? Laidley they say is a gun game day coach! Gary Ayers?
Important I think that Simpson has some experience around him.
Any WAFL coaches ready to make the next step?
At the end of the day the club will be onto it and things will fall into place. It is only because we left everything so late that we are in this position.

Brian Dawson..anyone? anyone? Tony Micale??

Dawson has already said he has no interest in a full time footy role. He is happy to be a puppet at East Perth eagles.

Ok. What happened to Tony? He's had experience at the club and has won many premierships at WAFL level.
