Who will our next coach be? (Part 1)

[All-Star_Bomber_18]

I know people want to interpret Barham “experienced coach” might mean “experience assistant coach” also but Truck was an experienced assistant from a successful side in Richmond. So how does he sell it to be different to Truck?

MBA, a real one, not two weeks at Harvard, involved in negotiating sporting events, including tennis, did a report on an AFL team for Tasmania years back, experience of management of different sports, how they function.
A much deeper and more diverse background than people who come into AFL administration and stay there - it’s not the big end of town and it doesn’t get much exposed to management outside the AFL franchise.
And, from his direct experience in the Saga, now fully understands the politics of AFL House, how to stand up to the thugs there.

and also completed a post graduate course at INSEAD in France.

Do not even mention Pyke in this conversation. Keep Don Pyke well away from this football club!!! Have we not learnt from our lesson. Never ever ever have anything to do with ex-weagles. No guts, no personality, no nothing!!! An unlikable piece of crap that led them on a weird camping trip.
Absolutely NOT FUCKN Pyke!!

I only like…
Choco Williams.
Mark Harvey
Bomba Thompson
Dean Solomon

That’s…quite a bizarre list.

[Boris_Bomber]

They are plenty examples where second time coaches worked and failed. same for first time coaches. Don’t underestimate the power in getting a good the team in your football department around you…if they are all on the same page along with the players it goes along way to getting the players right

If we want a coach who has experience with Premiership teams, it’s Yze.

Was on the coaching panel at Hawthorn, during their 2013, 2014 and 2015 Premierships.

Came to Melbourne in 2020, and was on their coaching panel during their premiership last year.

Also coached under Clarkson for a long time.

Yep. He’s probably my pick of the bunch so far, provided we can also lure Choco to provide more of that senior experience & player development support given our list demo.

Thanks . I thought the INSEAD course was the MBA, what he did when he was banished in 2014.

Man of letters

People are actually suggesting Solly as coach? Why?!?!?! Where is the evidence that he is even a semi decent coach

@Dasher made some great points about Pyke. I hope we interview him

Enough of the ex essendon players being coach or assitants. We need a complete clean break from the past

IMO this is the most important thing. If we get Yze, give him the best start possible. Having Choco as his Senior Assistant/Mentor would be so good for him.

[bomberboy05]

I want don Pyke.

I reckon the new stand rule really helps his style.

Complete opposite for Ross and Buckley

Power stand?

Yup. I wonder what their relationship is like with Mahoney.

[bigallan]

Comes from a long line of professionals in the education sphere, plus one grandfather a Brigadier, who served in WW2 ( Milne Bay) , Korean and Vietnam Wars.

[Aceman]

Haha. I only spoke to one of my brothers this morning and one of his bosses is on GWS’s version of a coterie and said that Yze would be announced Wednesday. Something happened fairly quickly

Pisstake surely? You’re so against hird yet you want a guy that completely mentally disintegrated his teams indigenous players?

[Nocturnal]

Now there is a good idea!

[DonToDeath]

What’s all this about Choco going loopey ?

He’s always been like that. He’s crazy, challenging, enthusiastic and a fantastic teacher that inspires his players and tries different things when the satus quo isn’t working.

He is a tremendous candidate for coach and would sort out our soft ■■■■■ quick smart.
