I do believe that we have an exceptional interview panel in place and I trust them to come up with the ABSOLUTE BEST coach available !!
If the St kilda board's coach selection committee consisted of Mr Bean, Forrest Gump, Gomer Pyle, Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, The Two Ronnies, The Three Stooges and Monty Python's Flying circus, you'd still be congratulating/brown nosing the board for putting such an exceptional interview panel in place!
Your challenge
Name a better panel or put up or shut up !!

I would like new blood along with experience in our next coach.
Premiership experience also necessary.
I reckon Ken Hinkley would provide both. If we could get Ayres as an Assistant; cream on the cake.
I once spent a year in Adelaide, I think it was on a Sunday.

Ray and Jones for Barlow...
I just posted that on the Saints board in BF, before reading this..........
For that deal I would trade both (otherwise Broughton + Suban)
Edit: not that I want either Ray or Jones traded
Seeing as Barlow (along with Bail) did the 2009 pre-season at the Saints but was overlooked

is currently in Melbourne and not being interviewed, at least that's what a fairly reliable source told me. He's also got a 3 year contract with Sydney, not that that means much nowadays...
In view of the club's recent history, a strong, experienced and mature coach is necessary. Eade ticks all the boxes and is streets ahead of any of the other candidates.

I could definitely live with Eade as coach.
Has a track record of getting the best out of teams and i'd prefer that than some untried novice, particularly with this group.

I reckon Eade had a game plan, that didn't work.
He may be the type of guy that needs a year off to watch the game from the outside to come up with something new.
I tend to think that getting him now, we'd also be getting his flawed and outdated ideals about footy that didn't work.

The defensive stuff has been drummed so well into this group by Lyin' that it has become sort of innate. At least we know Eade teams can kick goals.

If you want a lot more goals from us expect bigger losses. Our skills arent good enough to continually take risks. Eventually you will turn it over more often than not. With our skills we have to think defensively first.

Not being interviewed, ok then. I heard he was not interested in senior coaching yet, that's why I did not list him as a possible part of the ten.

Maybe the new coach can coach the skill errors out of the team. It might have something to do with recruitment?

It will be interesting to see how the players respond to someone who doesn't think defensively always. They might surprise you.

There are plenty of examples of games where we had to take risks and move theball with speed to score and we dominated....
When we move it as slow as treacle and s*** kicks have to kick over the mark to leads in trafiic we fall down..
Quick ball movement aids
Riewoldt, peake, gram, gilbert, schnieder, milne, montagna, steven, kosi
I suspect your last line is on the money - these guys look better at speed rather than when pin point kicking is in use. If speed of movement is employed I also suspect a few like Blake could struggle getting a game.
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.
As many have commented previously (me too), in view of the internal problems within the Club, a mature Coach who "has been there, done that" may be the best fit right now. However, a young, smart Assistant coach could be a better longer term appointment.
Perhaps a mix of say a Watters (coach)/Eade (mentor) combination could work and may be the best result. Eade on a shorter 2 year contract.

Heard Watters interviewed the other day. Extremely knowledgable and came across very well indeed.
