I was having a small joke. He is coaching the last three games

Hearing that Gawn is going to be captain, coach and CEO (he can’t start in that role for six months though)

I'd interview him 😉 😆

Hopefully we appoint a GM FD before committing to the coach.

A coach would want to know who his boss will be and that their ideas on game plan, list etc are aligned.

Lets not put the cart before the horse and get the coach first!

Ideally the GM FD is onboard in time to finalise the coach.

Paul Roos told Bob Murphy this morning on ABC it should be John Longmire

Caro seems to think that Adam Simpson is the favourite to take on that role.

Good!

I tipped him as our next GM FD too friends a few weeks ago. Hope it happens.

Yep.

Think that role suits him perfectly well.

My kingdom for Peter Jackson back!

I just want someone "anyone" who will make the players accountable on the field. No more learnings or Momentum etc.

And someone who has contingency moves ready from selectionday and the gonads to make them the moment momentum changes.

Bring back Roos and PJ to oversee FD recruitment process over the coming weeks and month's.

Reckon the AFL will have moved them to Hobart pretty soon

I am betting on Cam Bruce..

He and Brad Green would have a special relationship as they played together for many years.

A Demon at heart..

Well schooled at Hawthorn and Brisbane, fresh and new

Get the longer odds before they tighten!!!

West Coast traded and drafted their list in to oblivion so that would be a bold call.

You’d think Adrian Hickmott would be the odds on favourite if Simmo took the GM job.

Must give a ring to Cam Bruce and Corey Enright IMO

Agreed and they will bring in their own people i hope.

You would think the club does a deep cleanse of the Footy Dept, Richo, Chocco i.e assistance coaches, medical dept i.e Selwyn, list manager i.e Lamby etc.

Fitness at the top of the tree along with ball movement, trading/attracting talent and coach with enough back bone that is strong enough to take back control of elite fitness programs.

The talk here in the West is that Simmo who is moving back to Victoria is looking to extend his coaching career. The West Australian which has a close relationship with Simmo stated in a headline from a coupe of weeks ago that he is moving to “Melbourne” not “Victoria” is very suggestive. Why move back without a serious job offer if so? Where could it be, Norf, Carlton or us?

At that point before the Saints disaster I reckon it would have been Carlton.

Sadly I think the top trio will be replaced.

In the future can we get someone who can improve the forward half's goal kicking skills.

I really hope that we don't get Simpson. Given that West Coast are a far bigger and much more resourceful club than it us it says a lot that that they ended up becoming Melbourne 2013 levels of bad under his watch. They don't look like getting back on the up anytime soon either.

The optics of this..?

Whoever it is, they MUST have to come from a successful program ie; Geelong, Brisbane, Hawthorn etc, even a massively successful 2nd tier comp we still have both Alan Richardson and Mark Williams in the background. Steven King is a highly regarded person and coach from all reports.

I dont like the idea of Buckley, Simmo or horse, their time has come and gone. A fresh voice and hunger to succeed.

I'd love to see Brendan McCartney back at the club, great person, great with the young fellas and has a great no [censored] policy.

A caller to sen mentioned that Skipworth is in line to coach us next and Carlton are also looking at him.

Wait and c I suppose.

Dees

Let get

Ange …

we will be premiers in year 2 …

then sack him !!!
