Tony Liberatore was interviewed last night on SEN around 8pm after he accepted the senior coaches position at Sunbury Football Club and he went on to say how he interviewed for the Melbourne senior coaches job also previous to accepting the position and how he was significantly more impressed with the Sunbury football department professionalism and processes during interviewing than Melbournes.

Football department staffing positions hadnt been completed at that time and Riley, Fagan etc were all on the way out so was it a shoddy process the club went through or as asked above merely sour grapes that Libba now finds himself out in Sunbury?

 
Couldn't give a flying fig what this guy thinks. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Or rationalising (badly) why he didn't get the job.

 

I think Sunbury is a very fine destination for Libba and a fitting compliment for his coaching abilities.

I notice 15 other clubs absolutely brawling to get him in their Coaches department.

Sunbury Footy Club...hahaha!

A massive boost for Libba's CV :lol:

Totally sour grapes. Libba should've been honoured just to have received a job interview.


The reason he wasn't picked is becasue he had no fresh ideas of how to take th club forward.

Who really cares what the pipsqueak thinks? I don't think even I could take him seriously as a coach... And if the interview process was so unprofessional why did ju$$ say it was?

Hang on a minute... I need to get something straight -

Liberatore was aiming for the Senior Coach position, not assistant?

Ok. So there that is....

He sounds like a true professional to me. What was he doing wasting our time being interviewed?

Sour grapes. Most observers thought the club was taking a very professional and thorough approach towards its most important appointment and this twit wasn't happy because he was eliminated early. Did he really think he was a better candidate than Bailey, Sheedy or Hardwick? Maybe the club just wanted a man the players could look up to!

Anyway Libba, good luck at Sunbury. It's a nice part of the world and the crowds are small enough for you to avoid major embarassment when addressing the palyers at the 3/4 time huddles.

he obviously didn't get very far in the process, did he speak to anyone from the club, or was he culled by the recruiting company? of the list of applicants, he seemed to be the least qualified at the time, seemed like he was a kid in grade 2 wanting to play with the grade 5 kids...

but you've gotta feel for the bloke, he's gone from being an assistant coach at an AFL club, to coaching Sunbury, that's a massive reality check... it obviously says something about him though, not being able to find a job elsewhere, although apparently when he coached Box Hill i think it was, he did a good job...

there are so many positions out there for someone with his experience, VFL, TAC Cup, SANFL, WAFL, if he was really committed to it he should leave melbourne and go and coach in Adelaide or something...

to be honest i'm surprised he hasn't applied for the Sandy position... or maybe that's the interview he's complaining about!

maybe the club were reacting to the calibre of the applicant.

first impressions go a long way

You've summed the situation up perfectly

Bit late with this reply but eye-gouge Tony is a pea-brain with limited communication skills. Good luck at Sunbury.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
