Could we grab McQualter?

Post: # 2077456Post TheGreatZacsby »

With Batchelor gone as Sandy head coach. Could we grab McQualter and let him run it or is that a step down for him? Or even move BJ to head Sandy Coach with Lenny as support and make McQualter the Mid coach? Thoughts?

Soft cap is a barrier.

Agree though

Why not do what the big clubs do ?
Surely the guy from Seek could help find mrs mini a job doing sfa for shedloads .

The rumour is Ross is keen to use Mini as a role coach working closely with Sandy to develop role skills of fringe players.

Why is the soft cap an issue

We are replacing a coach- not adding one

Probably gets paid a lot more, especially if you want him to come across so total future salaries exceed current salaries, obviously

We wanted to do that with the last guy but he was a bachelor.

Well that’s the best practice approach used at Norwood.

So, we go to the draft and use our first two rounders to swap for 20 picks in the 70-90 range of picks.

Reported on BF we have employed Jared Rivers (ex Melbourne player) as an assistant coach.

A kind of role player factory?

More like a centre of excellence* at Coopers Centre.

Mini is more likely to be appointed as the Weagles new coach

Wild if true. Like North, WCE appears to be where coaches go to die these days.

If I was Mini, a stint at the Saints with the longer term view of taking over from RTB is what I’d be looking at
