New Back Coach
With SOS going at the end of the year, who will be our next back line coach.
We should attempt to bring Max back from the filth.

Re: New Back Coach
Why? Is he a good coach? That should be our ONLY consideration I reckon. Not just b/c he played 200 games with us. Champion player, and by the sounds of things, a terrific bloke, BUT I want the best coach, not a favourite son. If it turns out the favourite son is also the best back coach then yes, I agree.Behind Play wrote:With SOS going at the end of the year, who will be our next back line coach.

I agree. I would prefer the club look at how other clubs have done things as well. Especially clubs like the cats. Certainly hasn't hurt having Leigh Tudor.SaintTom wrote:I like the idea of Milburn. Would obviously be a risk as there is no way to tell how good he would be, but he would also give us another, more recent look inside the workings of Geelong since Tudor.

Apart from being one of the best defenders when he played, he is doing a great job as the defensive coach at collingwood.Moods wrote:Why? Is he a good coach?

And yes, he is a favourite son some one with passion for the club.

Re: New Back Coach
Why is he doing a great job? The pies are playing great footy in all positions. Does this means Rob Harvey is doing a terrible job at the blues as midfield coach?Behind Play wrote:Apart from being one of the best defenders when he played, he is doing a great job as the defensive coach at collingwood.Moods wrote:Why?

Personally, rather than fill the club with ex players, I would rather the club find the best personnel within the league. Blokes like Harves and Maxy have spent their entire career at the saints. I prefer a different set of eyes/ideas from other successful clubs. Max and Banger will always be welcome back, and if not aligned to other clubs, any assistance they can give would always be appreciated I reckon.
I see some bomber supporters screaming for Hird to come back and coach his old club and I just think, Why? Because he was a gun player? He seems like a naturally gifted footballer who hated the regimented style of AFL. Why would he be a great coach?
Having said all this, I'm not saying that Max shouldn't be back coach, just questioning your reasons why. Many supporters say 'get that ex champion back to the club' It's a romantic notion that sometimes is not logical.
The pies have done that with Buckley. It may prove to be an inspired decision as Bucks has done a reasonable apprenticeship and looks like he was born to be involved in AFL as a player and a coach. However I reckon the way the pies are going at the moment I reckon it's a mistake. Pies are flying with what is still a good to above average list that looks like will keep improving. Whatever we all think of Malthouse, he's a bloody good coach. Why would you retire off a coach at the peak of his powers for a younger untried coach?

Couldn't agree more regarding your comments about Malthouse/Buckley. This was a notion Eddie had which may cause him to have egg on his face.Moods wrote:Why is he doing a great job?

As for Max, to a certain extent you are correct, we don't require club legends, we want people to assist in the improvement of our list. However I feel he ticks the boxs, it just so happens he is a person who is loyal to his club. On the other hand bringing in outsiders gives us a different aspect to how other clubs work.
I still like Max as a coach.
Robert is a different story.

robert harvey not beyond the rhelms of possibility in my opinion.
max on the other hand would be happy that he got a good price for his IP.
carlton would make it hard for banger but if you think about it, he's done all he can with that group, gained some experience yet still has to travel to that dump every day and deal with the egos.
his IP would be the only thing that carlton would want to protect.
there's little doubt he would be happier working with a better group closer to home for the same money.

Spud. My first thought.goodie wrote:Names I hope we look at: Justin Leppitsch, Danny Frawley, Max Hudghton, Sean Wellman, Peter Dean. Glen Jakovich is another, no coaching experience, but he was a superb centre half back and it would mean we wouldn't have to listen to him commentate any more.
Surprised it took so long for someone to mention him...unless they did I scrolled through quickly and have had a couple of beers.
