Kim hagdorn has missed the real reason Jaymie Graham retired from the Eagles. Just a few details missing.
See Emma Quayle's article to get a bit of the true background

It was to show the character of the man. Jaymie Graham's ability may not have been that of a superstar but his life journey puts him in an excellent position to develop and mentor.
I'll just add, if you want to see the worst leg injury ever.

I am still hurting from 71;
my gut churns thinking of 97;
2009 was agony,
2010a was a pleasure to watch only to be devastated by 2010 b.
It hurts barracking for the Saints

Perhaps thats mean HUDSON as Assistant...
Perhaps thats mean HUDSON as Assistant...Hopefully in a forward coaching role and move Kingsley to defensive role if Maxie Hughton cant do it.
I see Schofield is interested as well - give him the midfield.
Laidley as opposition adn team analyst.
It is starting to look like a pretty handy collection...

Hudson is Head of Development ... basically like Development Manager.stkildathunda wrote:Would this mean Hudson will have a new role? Possibly Sandy coach?
The Saints are increasing their $ spent in this area by 300% over the next 12-18 months, so I would expect that Hudson will eventually have 3-4 people reporting to him.
Graham will be a development and welfare coach, working with/for Hudson, but I would expect Hudson to keep his current role.

big men Graham and Seaby were decent blokes, and clever footballers.
He's only 28 - I'm pleased with this appointment.
I'm sure Watters in interviews mentioned improving/expanding the Development side.

All good - but I hope he is given a mentor, coz he has no direct experience in this role.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:Jayme is a nice bloke don't really know much about his coaching ability but as a player he was pretty smart .. Had a shockin injury in the WAFL and a pretty hard up bringing as well

i wish i could be as confident as you guys. we're just signing on some random dudes who no-one really knows that much about, and who will be performing roles that we have absolutely no visibility of. they might be great, they might be poor, but i don't really see how any of them are objectively any better than the others we had on the coaching staff this year.

I agree and reality is how would we ever know that? at some point we have to let Watters have his head (cause he will live and die by it).bergholt wrote:i wish i could be as confident as you guys. we're just signing on some random dudes who no-one really knows that much about, and who will be performing roles that we have absolutely no visibility of. they might be great, they might be poor, but i don't really see how any of them are objectively any better than the others we had on the coaching staff this year.
What I would like to see is an experienced AFL assistant come on board cause many of these guys seem to have little real AFL experience.
