Coach Who Should Our Next Coach Be (Poll Updated)

[whiskeytown]

Harvey has shown the way forward is quicker, more direct ball movement... so Don Pyke for me.

Brad Scott a big no for me. Would just complicate the game plan. Might as well have kept Bucks in that case

 

[Jasper84]

A poll excluding coaches that the OP personally believes won't get the job. I vote for Idi Amin.

He'd definitely be a tougher presence in the press conferences than Bucks was

 

[gouki88]

My vote is for Pyke. Proven success at AFL level and has a brain for where the game is currently at

Idi Amin ate 40 oranges a day... there’d be none left for the players... so it’s a no from me

Threads merged and more candidates added

 

[gouki88]

Not to my knowledge. But we definitely employed Noble last year over Harvey, which was clearly the right move.

Harvey is on St Kilda's Mount Rushmore and they still employed Scott Watters over him. He's been passed over so many times it's just a bit sad

40 oranges per day - no pineapples? - Idi would never have belonged here

hopefully also means that her "source" re Scott being the front runner for our coach gig is off the mark

 

[Quicky]

Unless Hawthorn cut him loose he isn't as he will not be seen as the disloyal party. Also I think that having him in there would not give an accurate picture of how other candidates are rated because if he was available which one of us wouldn't take the best coach in the modern era. Leaving him outside of the poll gives an accurate snapshot of how us as supporters rate the other options that are available.

I get it. The poll can get set up so you can choose two options, which might have been a way to do both.

Wow haven't seen a 'take it to the bank' post in a while.
Just a hunch or actual inside info?

On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

No idea. And the banks shut so ive bought a bit of time if im wrong

CLARKSON

Would help Jordys driving issues

 

[Cyclops]

He was? Not my assessment of his game plan, not looked upon fondly by most Norf supporters, have some quotes from well after he'd left, so you'd assume some of the heat and anger would have dissipated.


"While the pointy end teams were putting major focus on disposal efficiency and elite decision makers, he was caught up in this ageing contested brand with a team of guys who were poor kicks, poor decision makers or both.

To trot out a narrative now that he did well with what he had holds no water. For two reasons.

1) We kept our first rounder every year and had good second round picks number wise. Almost none are still on the list and nearly all except Cunnington were busts until Simpkin, McKay who he wouldn't play and Larkey who he rated Campbell in front of.

Then we trade our first rounder for Polec and likely missing Bailey Smith or Ben King if there was any level of trading nous applied is just another long line of eff ups from he and Joyce.

2) The teams he had from 2014 - 2016 were very good. The odd exciting finals win against weakened or poorly coach teams from 7th or 8th is no where near satisfactory with what we had and brought in. His "aggressive reset" to cover his arse after the 2016 debacle , should have been his exit . Instead he was there basically another 3 years being heavily involved in list management decisions and team structure that we are now paying for".


"He was tactically inflexible".


"Bloke was a stubborn megalomaniac, horrible game day and even worse on selection night. Never been happier at seeing us grow some balls and march the clown".

"He based the game plan around the absolute best the team could deliver whilst not considering whether there could be bumps along the road. And by bumps, I mean whether players can follow that system or if individual players can play well in that system regardless. The result was there wasn't cohesion and a second wall. It was play perfect football or get pumped. It didn't work.

He tried to implement something we never tried before. And he thought the new inclusions would provide that uplift.

But without a second thought if it goes wrong, it can go catastrophically wrong. And it did".

The draft is not the coaches job. B Scott took an underfunded club no one wanted to play for to finals. Since he left they have been anchored to the bottom, as you'd expect for an underfunded club no one wants to play for.

Malthouse and Matthews were tactically inflexible too: ditto Yabby Jeans. Sheedy was very flexible. Flexibility is not a sign of success or a lack of it.

B Scott was unpopular with the North fans? Amazing then that he held the job so long, maybe he was doing something right?

The argument "he had good teams" is nonsense, my impression is were a load of rejects from other clubs like Waite. The fact the players exited so often is once again a problem with the club's finances and other resources.

Clubs love to play the blame game. Scott's a scapegoat, like Laidley before him. Funny how they always seem to come up with boring stubborn coaches, its almost like they can only afford boring stubborn players?

 

[Bay Pie]

If we appoint baked bean head as our next coach I’ll throw up inside my mouth.

I think club will pick Don Pyke. Not because he’s the most likely to lead us to a flag but he’ll play an attacking style. Exact reason Ross Lyon didn’t get a look in.

I don’t mind Pyke but question how he’d handle the scrutiny of being Collingwood coach. Same could be said of any 1st timer.

No matter what happens, the media will be focusing on how many goals we score above anything………and our supporters have been sucked into thinking that’s the be all to end all.

 

[HFF]

I am warming to Kingsley of the untried variety.

Onya Ben...about time more people in the "media" started calling out these dinosaur rumour mongers.
Caro's not a proper journo's behind.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Yeah.........my gut says Pyke or Kingsley and they seem solid choices given who is available. I also wouldn't mind Macrae, but that's about it outside of a last minute Clarko surprise.

 

[unplugged]

I'm worried if we get Kingsley he'll try and turn us into Richmond. We'll tumble the ball forward, handball the ball forward... and try to rely on our pace and small forwards to run amok... both of which we don't have.

The candidate should go to whoever gets an interview but doesn't leak to the media that they had an interview

she would have no idea how to analyse a game of football - revels in extremely low grade scuttlebutt

Who is baked bean head?

 

[GreekLunatic]

I hope caracella interviews no Voss or Scott pyke will also be good to

 

[NMBB]

Believe it's BS

 

[Matt_352]

Any of Pyke, Yze, Kingsley, Caracella, McRae is good to me. Not considering Clarko as an option at the moment.
