I don't think Neita harbours any ambition of coaching at all. He is involved full time at the club as it is. So no!

Has he told you that has he? I think an All Australian CHB - FF, Coleman medalist, most games played, leading goal kicker of the club, games captained, could make a great coach? Just a thought..

I don't think the FD would put all their eggs in the one basket, escpecially when that basket had a 1in 3 chance of becoming the head coach at Geelong.

We'll find someone, & if we don't, I'll make myself available.

Anyone got Schwabby's email address..?

Gee I'd love to see you named as assistant backline coach- I think you would make a better fit as CEO.

Give it time johnny boy.

I'll still post on here from time to time, just like Cam does. Might need a new pseudonym though.

& it's ok, I've had Schwabby's email for a couple of years now.

He must have seen something, cos he gave it to me.

Choco Williams has now been rejected by Essendon, GC Suns, GWS & Brisbane (& Port of course).

Even if he wants to come to us, I'm not entirely sure he'd be the best choice.

As an aside, I don't think it'd be wise even if we disregard the above.

The fact Bailey was Choc's assistant at Port, I think, would make it uncomfortable with the roles reversed.

That coupled with the fact Williams is obviously a strong personality makes it look a bad idea.

(plus the confusion involved with having 2 x Mark Williams on the coaching staff).

Totally agree with that. A Mark Williams appointment would really worry me for precisely that reason. I remember at the time that Bails was appointed by Melbourne, the press reported that he had received a very strong endorsement from Choco, but IMO the role reversal could undermine what might previously have been an excellent working relationship.

Give it time johnny boy.

Probably got fed up with you asking him for it.

I didn't ask once.

He volunteered it.

and meanwhile, back in the real world ...

"It is understood Melbourne has expressed some interest in Sanderson as the Demons are looking for a back-line coach to replace Sean Wellman, who has joined Essendon."

From the HUN.

About bloody time!

I'd be very happy to get hold of Sando for a year or 2.
