Scott Watters - potential future MFC coach?

Featured Replies

Posted

I was chatting to a West Coast supporter last night who seemed to know a bit about the happenings at Collingwood.

I think everyone perhaps knows this, so it's not a particularly remarkable observation - but, apparently, there is genuine tension between Malthouse and Buckley, and Malthouse's gig next year is a long way from being sorted out.

He then asked what I thought about Bailey, to which I said I really liked him and hoped he would stay at the Dees next year in some capacity, though not necessarily as the senior coach.

In this guy's view Malthouse will be looking for a senior coaching role next year - and, assuming he is, he speculated that whichever club secures Malthouse will also get Scott Watters (who will form part of Malthouse's team and succession plan).

Malthouse thinks Watters is an absolute gun who will be a truly fantastic senior coach in the near future. Malthouse apparently thinks he's the best assistant coach he's ever worked with.

I don't know much about him, but I'm interested to know what other people think/know about Watters. Perhaps the club should be trying to set up a chat with him?!

Don't know much about him either but anyone with potential should be looked at. My main concern is that we have been hiring untried coaches for for the past 25+ years with no luck. This time around I'd like to see some proven track record in the senior role. I believe only a coach who has tasted genuine success and has competition wide respect will have the confidence and tools to break our losing ways and culture.

Not too many options fitting that prerequisite out there though.....

Well theres Malthouse, Clarkson and Roos around. Maybe you missed all the threads about them this season. But has the club the guts, will and leverage to get one of these guys to coach us?

If Mick wants to coach again next year, he should go to the Tigers... give himself a real challenge at his beloved former club.

This.

Dean's doing fine, anyway.

For the people looking for that genuine success (ie a flag) there is...

Malthouse - who knows what will happen with the Collingwood stuff?

Roos - doesn't want to move to Melbourne

Clarkson - probably will get a new deal

Matthews - Loving his media work

Blight - Compromised by GWS

Pagan - Carlton showed him as out of the game

Woosha - will get a new deal

Not much there. Makes me think more and more it'll either be Sanderson, Neeld or Bailey. (Could be Watters too, don't know how long he has been assistant at Collingwood though)

Rocket Eade no sure thing at bulldogs either. With uPcoming list his form stacks up quite reasonable

Otherwise untried coaches aren't a bad thing these days if they've been proven goers in other similar roles

Sanderson, Watters. Etc

Where's Choco in that list? It appears GWS has him stitched up - surely Sheeds can't really be coaching there? But I wonder how Choco feels about having him around - a bit like Malthouse - Buckley? I really rate Choco.

I only did the ones who are out of contract or free agents. Choco and Bomber Thompson are in contract, and while technically available I wouldn't consider them as the payout would almost certainly be ridiculous on both contracts.

I rate him too, just think he's almost definitely going to be GWS coach - if not next year, then 2013.

And where's Tom Hafey and Swooper Northey?

Watters?? So he coached Subiaco to a few WAFL flags (2006, 2007, 2008) when they were full of ex / future AFL players, not to mention Brad Smith at FF (who should have played AFL, kicked 100 goals regularly)? Not saying he cant coach, but thats a pretty decent WAFL squad

Subiaco Squad from 2008

Caine Hayes, David Mapleston, Jordan Adamson-Holmes, Luke Newick, Stephen Martin, Brad Smith,

Darren Rumble. Greg Broughton, Robert Forrest, Chris Phelan, Ben Randall, Sam Larkins, Blake Broadhurst,

Chris Hall, Jason Bristow. Mark Haynes, Raphael Stack, Kyal Horsley, Trent Dennis-Lane, Daniel Chick, Daniel Rich,

Martin Smith, Phil Read. Allistair Pickett, Shaun Hildebrandt, Jarrad Schofield, Aidan Parker (vc)

Adam Cockie, Chad Cossom, Ben Keevers

Doesn't Malthouse have a contract too?

I remember hearing very good things about this guy??? Casey have often hand close to 10 AFL listed players this year?? 3 premierships give the guy some credit?

Whats your issue with him lol?

I think this could be close to it, as i have said before Neeld has been recognized strongly with Collingwoods development of the "press" and is rated highly all round form what i understand,

Im all for getting the best assistants regardless of who the head coach is, although i think we have a few good coaches atm, you can always improve,

Also people who want Bailey to stay around if not head coach i feel are dreaming, not that i wouldnt love it, but who wasnt the old boss around, also i would feel out of sorts a bit, and i new coach coaching "his" team.....

chicken or the egg... was he a great coach because of the gun players at his disposal? or did the players become guns as a byproduct of great coaching?

Imagine Tommy coaching again...

He is only 80, so should have at least 10 good years of coaching left in him. After that he could get an assistant's position with less pressure.

Whats your issue with him lol?

The WAFL is not as strong as the VFL. The Eagles and Dockers listed players get distributed around the 9 teams in the comp.

thanks for clarifying, alot of people suggest the WAFL is stronger?? due to money or something? and there being less teams distributes this talent further??

Either way it can be a combination of Players and Coach, i just remember the hype about his move, obviously when you win 3 Premierships you get hyped...

I have heard the opposite of triple premiership VFL coach at North Ballarat Gerald Fitzgerald, who some say did just benifit form a "great" VFL team.... i dunno taking away from peoples achievements is never good imo....

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
