2011, the funniest season I can recall.Zed wrote:I'd be happy with Watters, but if there is one thing that rings true for us its our old motto of "expect the unexpected". If i recall correctly Lyon wasnt in the frame for our coaching role until the very last minute.
If anyone would have told me 12 months, we would have had our players willies all over the media, a bogus school girl scandal, a pre-season training camp incident in NZ, then won 1 out of the first 7 games, but still made the finals - only to have our coach walk out with 1 year on his contract remaining and accept a coaching offer from Freo who werent even in the market for a coach, .... well I reckon I would have given you 100 to 1 on that.
So no - I wont be surprised if the person who gets the job is a name that isnt even currenlty being discussed.
Take this FWIW !

Re: Take this FWIW !
Well if that's the case we should have picked a more half assed panel then. Can't imagine all these people on the panel are just wanting to waste their time as part of the charade.satchmo wrote:Panels are to appease the media and supporters.

You woulld think they would at least want to talk to scott watters first. I think he as good a chance as anyone but no way he can be over the line.
And melbourne hardly bothered with a panel. they just relied on gary lyon 'eyeballing him'. So I think we are genuinely going to have an open and full interview process. Especially now we are the only club left looking. No need for us to rush it now.
