As reported in the HUN seems he is heading to the Gold Coast, hope our boys have a chat with him about the midfield position.

Smart boy.

I wonder if he's received another offer from north of here, as an ass istant.

Wallace, but what about a smokie? Is Rendell worth 2 Yrs as they repopulate that list?

Probably rather be involved in a team heading towards finals rather than a team that will battle for the next 5 years (you decide whether I'm referring to Port or us).

not great news for the power, obviously and also reports coming out that Burns and Cameron are pulling their names out of contention

[stuie 7,374]

Rumor going around Neal Daniher is a chance...

Eade has already pulled out.

Neil Craig anyone???

They could do a lot worse.

Huh?

I hope not for Craigs, & our sakes.

[Moonshadow 16,459]

Bails?

[pantaloons 2,019]

Bails?

While I think Port would be better served interviewing the silver-haired old chook in the crowd who gets shown on camera at every Port home game, I'm pretty sure I read Bailey wasn't interested.

Either someone has already got the job and everyone is saving face, or the place is a disaster and they are all running away.

I would love to see the Reverand get another shot.

Upon reflection, he did a fine job with the resources at his disposal.

[Moonshadow 16,459]

Good lord, if Sheeds can get another gig, then ND certainly can at half the age.

I'd be really happy for Neale if he got the job, he did a good job for us while he was here.

Wow. Would have thought Burns would jump at any chance to coach at the top level.

[Sir Why You Little 35,089]

Must still be a mess over there if so many are running away.

[Gippsland Dee 367]

i would love to see him come to the club! he was a good coach at carlton and i feel he was very unlucky to be sacked as carlton were dominating early in the year before injuries hit them. he would be a great addition to our new coaching team

[Guest Rassilon]

Hypothetically speaking - Lets hope this mess continues into trade month.

I think good assistants who see themselves as 'career' coaches are far more discerning nowadays. They know that no matter how good they think they are, that an awful 2-3 years at a struggling, poor club can effectively kill your career.

No wonder after the way Neeld was treated in the media this year.

[jnrmac 19,377]

My tip is Gary Ayres.

I doubt its worth it.

He has a avoided the senior job with one basket case. Why would he take a lesser role at another basket case?

Thats a very sage thought. I think that would apply to how attractive MFC is to potential midfield coaches. Given the crud cattle we have why would anyone willingly take on a death sentence?
