Well excuse me - these were my suggestions on page 2:derby Street wrote:I will give you Clarkson - but was Bailey another of your hillarious attempts at comedy. Stressful (get a life - I can give you a million things more stressful than a coach leaving a football club. Have you ever lost a child through a long suffering illness ?) Let the club get on with appointing a new coach - they did a good job last time. Might have been out of left field as wellMCG-Unit wrote:Glad we have made you laugh at this stressful time....derby Street wrote:Thanks for this topic to lighten the mood and provide lot's of laughs on a gloomy nightsome ppl here with a great sense of humour. Gary Ayres, Mark Harvey, Rob Harvey, etc
How much out of left field were the appointments of Clarkson and Bailey at the time
Also good of you to provide your coaching suggestions before slamming others O great oracle.
'Roos, Bomber Thompson, Alan Richardson, Rob Harvey, Scott Watters'
I only mentioned Clarkson & Bailey as examples of coaches appointed out of left field at the time (never said Bailey to coach Saints) - because you laughed at posters who put up Ayers and both Harveys. Yet you offered no suggestions.....
And you were the one that mentioned a 'gloomy night'.....I couldn't give a shyster
Go figure

I'm hearing Burns is going to coach Melbourne and Neil Craig is Director of Coaching. Eade Director of coaching at Crows. Cards are falling.
Lance or James??

[quote="StSteven"]The love affair with Geelong (recruiting King, Gamble etc.) we could end up with Brenton Sanderson.
Not as silly as it sounds. Quality bloke who could have taken the Port Power job ( if he merely "just wanted to be an AFL coach"), didnt spit the dummy when the cats appointed Scott. Not saying "take him", BUT do think he is at least worth looking at.

Ayres was hopeless at AFL level.
Took over at the Cats, took them from the top to the bottom of the ladder. Then did the same thing with Adelaide. Terrible record when he did play finals.
His record as an AFL coach is shocking. I'd rather John Barker coach us than Gary Ayres.
I reckon we should look closely at Brendan McCartney. Hird rated him very highly in the media earlier his year, and he was a huge part of success at Geelong and now at Essendon.

Just quietly - is there any way that common sense prevails and Mick stays where he is? Does Eddie need to be overthrown? Mick's contract as non-coach is only a year. How long is Bucks contracted? If Freo can justify ~$1.5M for their senior coach next year, then can Collingwood do the same to clean up the mess that Eddie's man-crush made?matrix wrote:looks like mick it is...when he gets out of his contract bulls*** with eddie
I think most could deal with Mick, even if he wasn't very nice to Milne. How would you all feel about Bucks coaching us?
Yeah nah pleasing positive

James Hird:
"I can't imagine there's a better coach in Australia in the way he develops players and teaches them to play football," Hird said of Brendan McCartney. "I'm surprised someone like that hasn't had a chance at senior level, because in my time in footy I don't think I've met a better coach."
Tom Harley:
Harley says his black-and-white approach equates to fairness. "The most important part of any sort of teaching is the follow-up, and he would put hours and hours into you." He sees the McCartney philosophy as essentially old school: win your own contest, and never, ever give up. "If you're not willing to relish the contest, you won't survive too long under any regime that Macca's involved in."
His record, Harley says, speaks for itself. "He worked with a very young defensive group at Geelong, and by the mid-part of that decade and obviously through the premiership years we had the runs on the board as the No. 1-ranked defence in the competition.
"He took over the midfield in our premiership years and blooded two Brownlow Medallists [Jimmy Bartel and Gary Ablett] and a really strong midfield that's the envy of a lot of the competition." Already, Harley sees a McCartney-Thompson stamp on Essendon in 2011.
Paul Hamilton:
Maintaining match-day influence at Essendon also keeps alive the possibility of a coaching fairytale. McCartney went for the Port Adelaide job and the Power was deeply impressed before settling on Matthew Primus. But Harley and Gieschen aren't alone in their conviction that the 50-year-old would be a successful senior coach if given the chance.
"I'd love you to quote me on how good he is, [because] I couldn't speak more highly of the influence he's had," Hamilton says.
