Who Wants Rodney Eade as a Coach?

[seanoff]

Eade is the wrong generation to coach. He's old enough to be the player's dad, almost Granddad.

One thing a lot of the young North guys are saying about Brad Scott is that he "understands" them so well. He was drafted, rookied etc, he studied while he played, all the things they do. He's lived the same footy experience they are.

Hence they relate to him really well. Can't say the saem for Eade.

obviously your perception is stuffed.

No.

It is obvious that Malthouse is of a far higher coaching calibre than Eade (that's not a slight on Eade, but praise of Malthouse)

Also, Collingwood can afford to have more assistants than the Dogs.

Including blokes like ... Brad Scott ... to work closely with players.

FFS - the Dogs couldn't afford a list manager or Alter-G machine this year.

For clubs with fewer resources like North and the Dogs, the senior coach has to 'do more'.

In this regard, North, who have been rebuilding for a few years and have a relatively young list, needed a senior coach who can get the most out of young players.

Given the Dogs are about to embark on a re-build of sorts, Eade is of the wrong generation.

the fact the the bulldogs have no money and Eade is working with a staff that's way way short of Mick's is not Eades' fault. (or Micks, just the way it is)

We'll see how Chris Scott goes with geelong in the next few years when Scarlett, Chapman, Enright, etc all retire and he has to rebuild. you can bet there'll be threads on here about how he is a shit coach etc. Ross Lyon is also about to find out about how hard it is without the cattle.

and don't get too carried away yet with Brad, he hasn't actually done anything yet, and that includes beating anyone who could be considered a decent side. going by your judgement he's way behind Hird who's managed to beat WCE, Geelong and St Kilda and drawn with Carlton. this probably isn't the case, but just going on naked results, it is. and where's the progress 11 wins last yr and if you are lucky 11 this year. not good from Scott, no progress at all.

 

[Magma]

no thanks. i dont like his style or game plan. would rather a fresh face, like neeld or something (fresh in the sense of a first time head coach)

 

[Tas]

According to Aker the Dogs are at least 12 years behind the rest of the comp in terms of resources. Massive debt, too. Why doesn't Smorgon take a pinch of the family wealth and give them a proper chance? So selfish

That said, Eade is hardly the most innovative of coaches. Loves to berate and ridicule players, but hard to think of players he has "made"

Rich generally become rich by not giving away the money they have. It is hard for leopards to change their spots.

This is a pretty fair call, for mine.

 

[Pie eyed]

Amusingly the speculation about Malthouse/Buckley, and how it can possibly work, added to the numerous coaching vacancies and the propensity of the media to hyper-speculate on all things Collingwood has elevated Malthouse to the God like status as possibly the greatest coach of any sport who ever lived or will ever live....when only two short seasons ago the same posters and media ****-knuckles were calling for his head.
Too old for the game, the game had passed him by etc. etc. etc...blahblah.

Stark reminder that whether it's a club president, a respected..(lol... sic... in my mouth)...footy journalist or a BF poster they've all, the lot of em, got nothing and know sweet FA.

 

[Pessimistic]

Hawks will take him in exchange for Leon Cameron

 

[HyperAgressiveDonk]

He would be a good fit for Richmond in my opinion.

 

[Trav 20]

I like Rocket, but 13 years at two clubs for no success.

No thanks.

 

[Falchoon]

He and Grant Thomas would have made a good duo.

 

[Ron The Bear]

He would be a good fit for Richmond in my opinion.

The Richmond/Hardwick relationship is harmonious at present, and Hardwick's contracted for 2012. But if Hawthorn doesn't want Clarkson, their ready-made side is probably the best fit for Eade.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Malthouse is an exception, and broke new ground by winning in 2010. But he had premiership runs on the board. The table of oldest premiership coaches suggests Eade doesn't have long.

[Heeney2Franklin]

Barry Hall one year earlier would of gained Eade at least a GF appearance, he will have NO problem finding another position as Senior Coach if he can turn the Dogs from dwellers to consecutive Prelims from what Rohde left him he will be invaluable to a side like Melbourne.

 

[Wernumberone]

Eade would be a massive upgrade on Hardwick.

 

[King Elvis]

Hardwick will be fine; but Eade would be great in a mentoring role to him.

I wouldn't want Eade as Crows Coach.

Can you post the table of youngest premiership coaches?

 

[Ron The Bear]

Can you post the table of youngest premiership coaches?

All playing coaches down to Barassi, who retired as a player after R19, 1968 before making a comeback for one match the following year. While he is technically the youngest to coach a GF win from the outer, some may prefer Kennedy, who retired at the end of 1959.

[Damon_3388]

Won't have any trouble getting another gig.

I said it elsewhere earlier, but if John Northey (who had a similar record to Rocket in terms of bringing teams close, making four prelims and coaching a losing grand final) couldn't get another gig after being sacked by Brisbane in 1998, I don't see why Eade should get another gig now.

 

[yaco55]

Doubt he will get a Head Coaching gig.

Could end up working in a Footy dept - on the coaching side - Of course the media beckons - or could work for the AFL.
