new saints coach

Malthouse is the best coach going around, so love him or hate him, if he wanted to come down I have no issues -he would probably see it as personal challenge and do it with more passion than the back-door man did. Having said that, I would love a Saint to get the job, and get the ultimate prize....edit I just remembered Malthouse was a Sainter originally)

Either that or Tudor or SOS. They both already know the list really well...
I can NOT believe anyone is putting Ayres name fwd seriouisly...only Brereton rates him at Hawks they laughed,,,,,and some reckon we should grab him?

hes a cabbage.

He's coaching a stand alone team in the VFL in Port Melbourne and will probably win the flag with them. Not bad for a cabbage I guess.

I heard from a usually reliable source(knows family members of Saints admin staffer) that G.Ayres is being seriously considered.

The dream situation: Mark Harvey appointed Saints coach, Saints win 2012 flag, Freo finish 10th.

Wonder whether Cliff from Clematis has heard a whisper?

Looks like Sanderson will coach the Croweaters.

For the Saints, my updated list now would be Richardson, Watters, Burns and maybe Cameron and Rob Harvey.

joffaboy · Post: # 1144916Post **joffaboy** » Mon 19 Sep 2011 7:17pm

Rumour is that Brenton Sanderson has been appointed Adelaide coach.

This means Scott Burns is back in the mix.

Beno88 · Post: # 1144918Post **Beno88** » Mon 19 Sep 2011 7:17pm

Sanderson now out of the running and St.Kilda can take their time.

Buckets · Post: # 1144932Post **Buckets** » Mon 19 Sep 2011 7:25pm

Gee surprised that both Burns and Cameron still available thought these two were surely going to be picked up by the dogs and crows!

Maybe they were lacking?

markp · Post: # 1144939Post **markp** » Mon 19 Sep 2011 7:32pm

Get Burns!

More sizzling pun potential!

Well not really, would love the right coach to be picked before Trade.

I agree clarky, whilst we can be a little more patient, it would be better if we can appoint a coach sooner rather than later, preferably before the draft. When would preseason start?

MadSaintFan · Mon 19 Sep 2011 7:54pm

Reminds me of us signing Rossco 5 years ago. The media had Longmire penciled in for the gig and Ross came in at the last minute and smashed them in the interview.

Frankie B · Post: # 1144965Post **Frankie B** » Mon 19 Sep 2011 7:55pm

What about Watters?

Is he a chance?

Would he be any good?

Junction Oval · Mon 19 Sep 2011 8:09pm

Whilst there may be a short timeframe with Trade week coming up, we are not under any "pressure" now, which is a totally different ballgame for the Club. Be calm and calculating Saints, this has to be the right appointment!

bigred · Post: # 1144988Post **bigred** » Mon 19 Sep 2011 8:23pm

With Sanderson going to the dogs and McCartney going to Adelaide, I really don't think that the available pool has been diminished at all.

For mine, Leigh Tudor is probably the best out of the bunch. Success has followed him wherever he has gone.

That said, I dont even know if he is throwing his hat in the ring. Plumb job @ GWS that probably comes with big dollars.

Regardless, this change will be good.

MCG-Unit · Post: # 1145007Post **MCG-Unit** » Mon 19 Sep 2011 8:42pm

I think Leigh Tudor is assistant at the Swans - not GWS

Still reckon Watters and Richardson are the best 2 available.

Well there you go - same apparently with Goodwin, who wants to continue as an assistant at Ess for now...

Ken Hinkley...long apprenticeship, has been with St Kilda (For a short time), has had success in minor leagues.

Long apprenticeship has got to be the key, like most industries, the more experience across different conditions the better prepared you are.

Lyon, Clarkson, Hardwick, Scottx2 & now Neeld, Sanderson & McCartney, really does seem like the trend

Harves has declared his interest- OWAAT on entering the AA awards

said he has expressed his interest.

Everyone writing him off too early imo. Fans trying to be too impartial. He may go ok. We know Ross is a control freak and his assistants have found him difficult to work with. He could have inhibited Harves' coaching style.
