I agree list decisions would be made either way, but approaching assistants is a bit strange, a serious coach would want to handpick them, i'd go as far as asking why would you take a job at MFC if you didn't get to pick the assistants

Freeman has a little bit of paddy dangerfield about him, so i'd choose him

Meet me at the club this arvo and we will tell him how nice western sydney is??

If we get Choco i will do cartwheels, film them and post them up on here!

8 teams have expressed an interest, probably different levels of interest but take what you will from that, the lions, dockers, blues, giants, suns, crows, power and kangaroos are the 8 teams i believe, between them i think we can push his value to a first round pick, would absolutely love pick 11 from the blues, I am almost certain GWS will offer us pick 10 for him as they have activated it this year most likely as trade bait so we can almost hold that over the blues and see if we can squeeze out pick 11 and and exchange of their 3rd round for our 4th, or something

Could fitz realistically be ahead of Dawes in 2014? another full pre season into him, right now it seems Fitz is not far off it, but Dawes brings far more leadership and experience, other than that on field results are fairly similar

Spoken to Cameron Ling and Adam Simpson also, any serious Coach would want to handpick his assistants

What pick range is he likely to go?

how he got to 18 is insane, thought gws would take him at 3

they would have a fair idea by now, roos is probably making things hard though being the preference

yeah, i think wines will come back to us at some point tbh, but i love the way crouch attacks the ball, dunstan, durmont and sheed are good too id love to get two of the above, if we can get pick 11 for watts id use that on crouch, 2 on sheed and 21 on durmont or dunstan that kid bombeetti or something, any good?

anyone who winged about taking toumpas over wines, crouch is this years wines

take him at pick 21 if durmont and dunstan arent there?

pick 11 then use that on crouch

600 k hahahah what a joke

I think if it comes to a choice we will take Aish or Sheed but if we were to trade Jack watts and get pick 10 or something like that, Crouch should be right on the radar. personally i'd be happy with Crouch at 2 but that's just me.

You could argue his previous relationship both ways, sure he has been around and knows the players but what Neeld has implemented has been terrible and he was in a sense supposed to be the voice of reason, i'm sure the players love Craig and would love to be coached by him but at the same time i feel if say we hired Choco, the players could say, this bloke has won a premiership, knows what it takes, what it looks like, it's an instant level of faith and respect Craig or Eade couldn't demand.

I found something i don't like about it in the first 4 picks, sure us and GWS could in theory pass on boyd, but i doubt Stkilda would very much, they need him as much as the doggies

Sorry mate, didn't see your second comment so i edited my last one with the answer.

Fair enough, i respect your opinion on this, what's happened since taking over shouldn't rule him out entirely, he didn't have the opportunity to do much, i don't think he has actually stated that he wants the job has he? he may well not even be an option and for your second point, Rodney eade has coached Sydney and Bulldogs from being very poor bottom four sides, developed their talent, got the best out of players noone rated ( Lindsay gilbee ) coached Sydney to a grand final, coached the bulldogs to consecutive Prelim fInals. Mark Williams: Well knows as one of the best developers of young and disgruntled talent of all current coaches in the AFL, has coached Port Adelaide to a premiership against the great Brisbane team, 5 prelim finals, 2 grand finals, won coach of the year twice, his influence at GWS and Richmond has been obvious even with him not in a senior coaching position Neil Craig: Coached an underperforming crows team for eight years which included 7 finals series, two prelim finals, two top of the ladder finishes, my greatest memory of craig as a senior coach was the famous crow bots that were very unlucky not to win a couple of premierships for 2004-2006, however he has never been in a position of developing a lowly team, i think this will count against him, PJ wants an experienced coach, experienced isn't as simple as having been a senior coach imo, it's about having developed a list, the experience of coaching a list from the bottom of the ladder and helping the players develop and rise up the ladder, also Craig may well not even want the job yet, he does not become a serious candidate until he states he actually wants the job all three are worthy choices but Eade and Williams for me, if nothing else a new face around the group will help with the destroyed confidence of the list.

Jack Watts for Pick 10? they have almost certainly activated it to use as trade bait, we could then use pick 10 on Matt Crouch

West Coast are very Keen on Yarren, would be very confident he will be over there in 2014

We wouldn't mate, if Dunstan is there at 21 i guarantee we draft him. Aish isn't so set in stone there are a few options at the top of the draft

unleash hell, what makes craig the best candidate? to me williams and eade are both ahead

It's guys like this that are going to dig the club out of the situation it's in, guys who will either make it or die trying! really shows up the attitude problem of a few of the more high profile boys on the list
