So the last couple of days rumours on this site make it clear .

It is eade

No it is Roos

Then again maybe Williams or Craig

Clear as mud still

Thanks Dnn it is really good to be back on topic

could the word "experience" in these terms mean someone who has been in the afl system for a very long time? Neeld was a baby, had only done 4 years under MM, if the average trade apprenticeship is 3/4 years then you'd think and AFL one would have to be a lot longer! who had even heard of neeld before the months leading up to his appointment? hinkley, alan richardson, gavin brown ect have been in the game as long as i can remember. Neeld was simply an inexperienced AFL coach not just an inexperienced head coach, his CV was amateur. if we sign another untried coach, i want his CV to be long and filled with accolades at the highest level as a coach and player, NOT ocean grove premiership and i don't want another bloody school teacher, neeld probably spoke to and treated them like teenagers..

My rule of thumb. An inexperienced coach given our fractured state has 20% chance of success. 40% chance of keeping the wolf away from the door for the next messiah,........and 40% chance of turning us into the new Tasmania franchise.

experienced senior coach means that...experience as a senior coach...not assistant

but has pj stated those words? or just an experienced coach?

if you havent done the gig at the highest level then youre really only an assistant, not a coach , per se

agreed, but it's almost cryptic the way they talk in the media these days, definitive words are rarely spoken, most of the time it's left to our interpretation. So if we did get another untried and we all kicked up a fuss, the response could be, well " he has been an assistant for 10 years, been involved in flags as coach and player, thats what i would call experience". Maybe i'm over thinking it and just plain paranoid after so many disgusting decisions and can't envision a experienced head coach at the helm until its actually happened. I wont be surprised if its an untried with a long cv

The Power have shown that things can turn around quickly with the right injection of staff. Last year PA were struggling to keep players, and were struggling to hire a coach. Their Board was also over turned. They were seen as a club reliant on the AFL without the cash to inject the right ppl. This year they are seen as a club on the rise! Things can turn quickly!

If the club goes for an inexperience head coach, I'll reserve judgement until next season. Not everyone is a Need or Bailey. Realistically, the governance at the club was dreadful. Any coach was destined to fail. It's not just the coach that is detrimental, the Footy Ops guy, the assistants, and the Board backing up the the FD is important to the club moving forward.

Roos understands this, and won't commit until his knows the club is moving heading in he right direction. Choco and Eade should be just as smart. Why leave their respective clubs to be swallowed up by the MFC. Getting Walsh is just as important as the coach

Thats exactly what weve had....Assistants, experienced at other clubs. Clubs that were successful. Only to come to us and , well the rest is history.

I hear Campbell Brown may be free to coach the MFC next season.

though none as a player,

firing bailey was the wrong move, not hiring him, and the reverse for MN. I think bailey would of got us where we wanted to go. Neeld was just a flop, so all i'm saying is, that if we get another untried with much more experience in the system, i wont be happy but i wont think it's the beginning of the end. Bailey wasnt the [censored], Schwabb was.

We should have been doing back then what we are supposedly doing , hiring an experienced coach, We went cheap, we f'd up.

We need(ed) real guidance , not the Baileys and Neelds.

Roos went into bat for Garlo and Jordie over their tactics on Ablett when president Mike wasn't impressed about.

Would have been interesting to see where we'd be today if we hired Sheedy instead of Bailey or Eade instead of Neeld

Yes Very Lorne ish now.

In ealry eighties is was still not much more than a fishing village with holiday makers over Christmas / Jan period.

We loved it, with the exception of the two pubs and a couple of food places everything shut at 12.00 noon Saturday.

The first time we saw you could buy a cappuccino my wife said Apollo Bay is stuffed, just another Lorne now.

We have some friends with a house at Skenes Creek we still go down one weekend a year.

Nothing stays the same, my wife says just remember it the way it was.

May have known my family.

They owned the farmland that is now the pisces caravan park.

Wish they still had it.

Recent rumours are that it is Eade.

I wouldn't be disappointed with any of the "big 3."

The important thing to me is making sure we have good support around him, especially assistants that are capable of succession.

Just keep kicking him.

I put this clown on ignore a month or two ago and I'm sure if you do the same the site will be much better for you.

Robbie F backed DM CC and CS to the end and made an absolute fool of himself , christ he even donated money to those 3 that just [censored] it away, and Robbie F has barely posted since because he made a clown of himself, look in the mirror old timer before you degrade and put other posters down, and you had me on ignore how would you now the conversation, once again you make a clown of yourself, the only reason CC spoke to you was because he realised the money you donated and you posted that yourself.

Who's generating these rumours exactly?! Is it Eade? Roos? Jay Clarke (ie, the guy who doesn't know how to think)?

Because I would've thought pretty well the only person who knows what's going on at the moment is PJ, given that we don't yet have a President or next year's Head of Football and only have an interim coach.

And I don't reckon PJ would be leaking anything. To anyone.

The clown your responding to is generating the rumours, the guy knows nothing , the clubs not leaking anymore because all the rats have left the ship.

This day will be a miracle itself - when the MFC is united and the rats are goine

I hear Campbell Brown may be free to coach the MFC next season.

Incorrect. Will be offered a new one year contract at the Suns.

I haven't generated any of these rumours, Bozo.

They are just the ones doing the rounds currently.

But it's amusing to see you state that the leaks are gone with such certainty, of which I'm sure you don't really have any.

Michael Voss sacked as Lions Coach and Roosy likely to get the nod as replacement.
