Laidley: Age states that he will be assistant coach

Post: # 1170503Post saintsRrising »

Page 3 of The Age Sports Section today stated that Laidley will fill one of the two vacant assistant coaching positions at the Saints.


With last week's departure of Robert Harvey to Collingwood, Laidley will fill one of the two remaining assistant coaching positions.


First time I recall seeing it as will, rather than may..... (may be just slack journalism though....)

I think that will be a fantastic get for us. I didn't want Laidley as head coach but I think his experience will help Watters, and he is supposed to be a very good match day tactician. I am liking our new coaching set up more and more.


I love this club

Cool punch ons with his kid every school holidays.

On the surface I think he is a good fit. We need a bad cop for watters good cop.

Out of interest was laidley useless at port or is their list bad beyond help?

No doubt Port is just plain crap in every aspect on and of the field. You can hardly blame him for any of the Port rubbish on laiey. As for the thing on Bali, I am sure we didnot here the full story

Two more traditional line coaches I'd say.

In most cases the ruck coach is a part-time specialist.

I think he'll be midfield coach/ senior assitant. Looking after the mids and being Watters right hand man.

Written by Caro so we don't know whether there is some inside info (nothing coming from the club lately) or it is just Caro SPECULATING as she often does. Time will tell !!


NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Really?

I reckon he'll fit right in with all the dramas St Kilda has had over the last 12 months!!


Another opportunity awaits!

He hasn't actually been confirmed, I think we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves.

I haven't. I MAY have been highlighting what is my perception of some of his deficiencies !!
