Next season's coach - down to 4

[Northern Summer 292]

Will be between the following imo:

- Roos

- Malthouse

- Viney

- Sumich

If they go the last 2, good chance they may get a Rodney Eade as a director of coaching - a role he's happily take if he lost his job at the Dogs.

The club will be pursuing the first 2 intently, though my gut feel is they will end with with Suma - he has been very popular in the past, came very close to the Essendon job in the past, also the Port job. With the way the Eagles have gone this season, his credentials are only increasing.

Sounds left field and now not really possible, but i'd get a Phil Gould to the club if possible. He's be able to promote and reorganise the club in a professional manner - though he's just committed to the Penrith Panthers. His lack of AFL expertise wouldn't be an issue with the role he'd undertake.

I'd take McCarthy/Eade or Sanderson/Eade.

Phil Gould makes Kevin Sheedy and Sam Newman look normal. No bigger moron in Australain Sport.

Probably won't happen but - how could anyone consider overlooking Malthouse?

Seriously.

or Roos. We really dont want another untried coach again do we?

Seriously.

I seem to recall people saying the same thing about Sheedy when he was in the running before we took Bailey.

Another hilarious thread on Demonland.

Another hilarious thread on Demonland.

Yes, going to be some gnashing of teeth when Bailey is reappointed.

Pointless, just pointless.

[Guest Artie Bucco]

Not just that, what on earth qualifies some of these posters to whittle the list down to just a handful of candidates?

They must have some amazing insight into the workings of the club, Bailey's performance in his role, and the capabilities of the last candidates standing.

Considering how thorough the process is that is used to select a head coach these days, I am dumbfounded someone could think they'd know what's best based on reading demonland and articles in the HeraldSun.

Artie, don't you know that talking sense isn't allowed on this forum as of late?

Take your intelligent and rational views elsewhere!

[Guest Artie Bucco]

More the fool me, for being sucked into these threads.

Left field alright !

He is NRL through and through.

I'm not sure how he would be able to promote and reorganise the club from NRL experience unlike anyone else in the AFL caper.

Strange call, don't even want to contemplate it type call. Fastest way for a board to go under type call.

Paul McNamee anyone ?

[Jordie_tackles 354]

I'd take McCarthy/Eade or Sanderson/Eade.

I like what i have heard about Sanderson, even as a senior assistant

All true, but he can coach.....

Probably only any good up here though !!!

Ok Artie we get it, you support Bailey and everything he does.....

That's fine, your right, but please don't continually [censored] all over what is nothing more that a hypothetical conversation.

Many in here don't believe Bailey will or should be re-appointed, so a thread about a possible successor is not way out of left field.

We all have to cope with those that don't agree with us.

[Tatu 416]

Surely Eddie from who want tobe a millionair is availible?

[Striker475 696]

lot of people think he was stiffed by the Geelong board

[jayceebee31 759]

I'd take McCarthy/Eade or Sanderson/Eade.

I'd consider one of these.

[Scooter Mcgavin 1]

I'd consider anyone as a coach who just has at least 2 gameplans

18/55 wins and he is going to be reappointed? Yeah right!

[Cards13 9,117]

Phil Gould? That is left field... NRL people and promoting there game and clubs with professionalism?? Really...

[Pates 9,660]

IF we got rid of Baily I would be furious if we went for an untried coach, for that matter I wouldn't be too impressed if we went for an experience coach who hadn't won a premiership.

My gut feeling says that we will turn this insipid form around with real afl players out there and a renewed confidence. Whether or not that'll be enough for Baily to keep his job.......

How about a gameplan?
