Sam Mitchell?

[saintsRrising]

Interestingly the Hawks seem to have just made their final coaching appointments.

http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/2018- ... y-elevated
Chris Newman and Max Bailey will take on new coaching roles for the Hawks in 2019.

Newman, senior coach of Box Hill’s recent premiership-winning side, will step into an assistant coaching role with Hawthorn, while Bailey will take over as senior coach of Box Hill.


So Sam Mitchell has to go somewhere and Lethlean has flagged an exciting coaching appoinment, but it will not be Banger.

So hopefully that is Mitchell to us. If so, then congrats to Lethlean for gaining both Ratten and Mitchell.

Article from early August about Mitchell coming back to Melbourne

Could it be true?

Super appointment if so

[Whiked27]

They have both been promoted so still have remaining spots to fill

[Teflon]

Would be a good get - think they’d have shared that with Shiel....
Surely AR looks over his shoulder a lot more....

Well yes it has been known fora while that he was coming back to Melbournce.

I was just assuming the Hawks. But if the Hawks, you would think with finals all done and dusted it would have been part of this recent Hawks coaching announcement.

Here's hoping...

He's increased his order of Dencorub

They would only need to fill Bailey's development coaching role and I doubt Mitchell would be interested in that

[MC Gusto]

Will be announced at the saints on Monday according to BF itk

[SaintPav]

They must be paying him a fortune...

Though that itk is a "newbie" with no track record.



However WCE B&F is tonight 5th October and so it makes sense that after tonight that both Gaff and Mitchell will declare where they are going.


GWS B&F is also tonight. So the various players at GWS including most critically Shiel should declare their preference too.

The next few days could be crucial to immediate future of the Saints.

Shiel will choose Carlton by sounds of it although what’s intriguing is they refuse to give up pick 1 ....so next years?
If we offered pick 4 this year it would put them in a tough spot ..

I like the idea of missing Shiel and trading up if possible to get a shot at Walsh.....but sounds like Club has a hard on for King.... which leaves us very tall sobyoud think Brice goes?

[mullet]

I would be beside myself if this is true. Some one to teach our players to be hard arsed.

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Well...he's going to somewhere in Melbourne.

[prwilkinson]

Please let this be true. Come on Sammy...

Ratten is a career assistant coach and Mitchell is probably a good 5 years away from being qualified for a senior gig so AR is looking over his shoulder but it's not because he's got assistants that will be taking his job.

AR keeps his eye on Big Footy so he'll know when his time is up.

I think BF will know time is up for Alan before Alan does...
Actually, time is already up for Alan (hence why we’re trying to bring in people with a match day footy brain..) it’s our pathetic AFL Corporate Careerist CEO who hasn’t gotten with the program....

It’s just money. Surely that’s all it is. They don’t want, or can’t afford to pay Richardson out. Hence, he stays. Surely if he were at the end of his contract he’d be out the door.

The problem extends way further when you have Board & Coach mentors like "kermit the frog" who openly states and seems to believe Richo is the next Buckley & Hardwick.

If this is being preached externally it must be believed or at least broadcast internally.
How do you bring players like Shiel on board with the mantra that Richo is the next Bucks/Hardwick and expect them to buy into the club?

I think this is what Jaxsons alludes in his unprofessional pitch statement, more about the message than how it is delivered.

Bugga, SEN saying tonight that his manager is saying Mitchell to Hawks.

Yep so “the big coaching appointment “ that Shiels manager referred to is?
Gubby?

Maybe GT is coming back

Whatever it is it will be of the same ilk as ‘look we’ve got Hannebery!’
Have we announced our $1m loss for this year yet?
