How about Simon Black's midfield coach?

old dee

What we need is a player like black. I believe the problem is players way more than line coaches

I love the idea of getting Black down, i wonder if he would be worth considering on a one year deal as a playing coach like Luke power at GWS? Would give us some great on field experience and a short term contribution leading into a coaching career with what should be a good emerging midfield

As soon as I saw Black on the news tonight I said lets get him as a midfield coach. Brownlow medalist, 3 flags and norm smith plus im assuming all Australian. Fresh out of the game he would be perfect. Imagine what Viney and Toumpas and both Jacks could learn off him.

He would be way better then Royal.

Good suggestions here fellas. I like the list of (in order):

1. Ling

2. Ratten

3. Junior

4. Black

(Of course it's a list of those who are a possibility, not a dream list as such)

Studies seriously think you should display a GIF to back up your theory?

Unconfirmed rumour on Triple M that Black is set to retire from the Lions and take a up an assistants role at the Swans...

11.45am: Radio station Triple M Brisbane is reporting, via an unnamed source "deep inside the Brisbane Lions", that Simon Black is set to retire and take up an assistant coaching role at the Sydney Swans.

The report is unconfirmed at this stage.

Dew has been offered a "beefed up" midfield coaching role, so if he stays is Black going to be his assistant; I wonder.

It seems now that Dew has signed on at the Swans, it will pave the way for Black to join the Dees as midfield coach/ Successor

Not really. Dew moved from stoppages to midfield coach taking Tudor's role. Black can move into Tudor's old role as stoppages coach. They are the kind of successions we would like to make.

You mean Black to take over Dew's old role? If that were to be the case and Black took over Dew's old role as well as signing Dew and Buddy, then we really must be going up against some serious brown paper bag shenanigans.

I'm suspicious of Black or even Brown's credentials for coaching.

The recent attempted exodus of young talent is apparently due to a lack of empathy and an inclusive culture, mainly from the senior player leadership.

I think if either of these supposed leaders had any potential as coaches, they probably should have avoided this scenario entirely.

They may not have been able to do it on their own, but they should have been driving it.

Yes sorry that's what I meant. And I wouldn't think so. Most players, no matter how good don't take over line coaching straight away. They usually go into development. Taking over the swans stoppages would be a respected position considering the talent available. Despite the COLA it seems Sydney is a great place to live (particularly short term) and it's not like Black is short of cash. If I was him and wanted to coach it would almost be the perfect first job. Could move and be a more senior assistant and midfield coach down the track on way to senior job

Latest on Black if you've not read it yet.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-16/black-call-imminent

Born in QLD, raised in WA, played for Brisbane, started his coaching career at MFC?

I admit that idea of Black becoming a coach is purely based on the logic that he's played over 300 games, won three flags, bagged a Brownlow and a Norm Smith medal along the way and is a 3 time All Australian and club Captain.

As far as retired players looking to move into coaching, there's hardly a better candidate. A fair chance Leppa keeps him at Brisbane as a coach if he decides not to play on but if that doesn't happen I would be very impressed to have at Melbourne.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
