Who's our Coach for 2014?

[Hollow Knight]

Can someone link me to the quote from Holmes/Warren that states a late entrant has entered the fray?

Print edition of the Courier Mail.

Tudor is looking more and more like another favourite to get the chop...like others I was intrigued by the comments of McAvaney and Dunstall on TV.

 

[SizeMatters]

I've heard whispers that the other candidate is John Barker from Carlton.

Yeah, as I was saying last night we only really see a slice of the whole process. Anyone who has ever been part of an interview panel in their organisation will tell you there is very often not a strong link between the best resume and the best overall candidate.

I don't think any of us here could give an informed comment on Tudor's leadership or communication skills. All we really have to go on is the fact that he has been at a few clubs when they have been successful.

I'd heard McAveny but not Dunstall, what did he say?

Tudor or Richardson. Please. Hurry up!

 

[jackess]

Malcolm Holmes is quoted as saying we have another candidate to interview this week. This isn't the action of a coaching appointment panel that has already reached a decision.

Let's see how this new candidate *cough* Richardson *cough* goes first

Mark Harvey changing his mind?

 

[James North]

What about Leppa and Craig ... but Leppa does all the pressers?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Mark Harvey changing his mind?

Could be... But just seems so much movement regarding Richardson this week.

His name got mentioned a few places seemingly out of nowhere. Then Hinkley comes out and starts talking him up as the next great senior coach. Then Malcolm's comment... All within days of Port being eliminated from the finals.

 

[POBT]

The closer we get to naming a coach, the more relaxed I'm becoming. Even a decision to Neil Craig wouldn't overly perturb me because we've clearly tested the market.

 

[Lace Out]

Leppa under Harvey would be ok.On more of the same wave length.

 

[POBT]

The most interesting part of Hammo's article IMO:​

The coaching panel was originally commissioned to present two options butThe Courier-Mail has learned they now see it as their duty to identify the best candidate rather than ask the board to decide.

 

[TJTIGER]

sorry to intrude guys. was just wondering if things have progressed down to 2/3 candidates for the head coach position? Thought this would be the best place to ask, cheers & all the best with finding your new coach

 

[Betty Noir]

Have a horrible feeling he goes commando in those shorts too.

I don't mind the shorts. They are very tactile, and offer great support.

 

[rockypls]

The Leppa/Craig article doesn't quite make sense. If they were the selected duo then why not announce it last week and not wait until the season is finished? We need as much time as possible to try and keep Yeo, Longer and Doc.

 

[Hollow Knight]

The Brisbane Lions shop is selling the training shorts on sale... $20 reduced from $50. Massive ramifications for the recruitment of Neil Craig.

Massive.

The knock on Tudor is that he is not the type to rally a group behind him and lead them into war. Fantastic footy smarts and knowledge of the game but does not have that steel needed for senior coaching. This is second hand information though so can't say if it's 100% accurate for sure.

Yeah. The fact that I couldn't even find one interview with him on YouTube surprised me too.

 

[rockypls]

Didn't they say the same about Hinkley though?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Yeah, but does lightning strike twice?

I must admit that I used to regard Tudor as one of the most "vanilla" guys in the game when he was playing, a bit like Cheynee Stiller was for us I suppose, which is why I find it a bit hard to get excited by him as a coach. He's had great exposure to a number of successful programs though, so he'd certainly be in a position to introduce some new ideas.

I haven't found a coaching bandwagon worth climbing on yet, so like a few others I'm just hoping that Leigh gets to make the right call.

Underrated post.

Underrated post.

Either way, you've got to admit I'm crafty.
