Why do idiot Journo's keep asking coaches who are in the finals if they are interested in the West coast position.
WTF do they expect?
" Oh yeah definitely interested and been in talks, just waiting to finish up with this mob"

To be fair I seem to recall some coaches have accepted jobs whilst their team was still in finals and in some cases they pulled out from coaching mid-finals.

 

[FKASC]

I might apply for it tbh

Provide an argument for Peter Sumich to get the West Coast Eagles coaching job

ChatGPT said:​

Peter Sumich's candidacy for the West Coast Eagles coaching job can be strongly supported based on several key points:

1. Deep Club Knowledge: Sumich has a profound understanding of the West Coast Eagles, having spent significant time with the club both as a player and assistant coach. His deep connection with the team's culture, history, and values would allow for a seamless integration into the head coaching role.
2. Proven Track Record: Sumich's experience as a successful forward coach is noteworthy. He has a history of developing key players and improving forward line effectiveness, which can be critical in revitalizing the Eagles' attacking strategies.
3. Leadership Experience: Having been an assistant coach and involved in coaching roles at various levels, Sumich possesses valuable leadership skills and experience in managing teams and game strategies.
4. Strategic Vision: Sumich has demonstrated a strong strategic understanding of the game. His tactical insights and ability to adapt strategies to suit different opponents could provide the West Coast Eagles with a competitive edge.
5. Player Development: Known for his ability to nurture young talent, Sumich could play a crucial role in developing emerging players, which is essential for building a sustainable future for the club.

These factors collectively make a compelling case for Peter Sumich as the ideal candidate to lead the West Coast Eagles.

He would be the last person I want anywhere near the club.

Dimma went 3 out of 10 with the same team

Correct, but Dimma was where Simmo was. 3 year overstay in his position. The players lose interest unless you are a premium club who can consistently top up with the right players, draft and develop well like Geelong do.

 

[silver1951]

For heavens sake, sign someone up real quick. Players want to know and who would draft into a club with no coach. At this point, sign up Schofield for 2 years.

 

[Truly Lazuli]

He would be the last person I want anywhere near the club.

Provide an argument for Robert Walls to be the next coach of the West Coast Eagles

Robert Walls could be a strong candidate for the West Coast Eagles coaching position for several reasons:

1. Experience and Expertise: Walls has extensive experience in the AFL as both a player and a coach. He has a deep understanding of the game and its strategies, having served as a senior coach for multiple teams. His insights and tactical knowledge could be instrumental in revitalizing the Eagles.
2. Track Record of Success: Throughout his career, Walls has demonstrated a capacity to turn struggling teams around and achieve success. His previous coaching stints, including leading Carlton to a premiership in 1995, highlight his ability to build competitive teams and win crucial games.
3. Leadership Skills: Walls is known for his strong leadership qualities. His ability to inspire and manage players effectively can be crucial for motivating the West Coast Eagles, especially if they are looking to rebuild or improve their current performance.
4. Mentoring and Development: Walls has a proven track record in player development, helping young talent reach their potential. This is particularly valuable for a team like the Eagles, which might be in a phase of developing new talent and integrating them into the senior team.
5. Adaptability: Walls has adapted to various roles within the AFL, from coaching to media and administration. This versatility means he can bring a broad perspective to the West Coast Eagles, incorporating a range of strategies and approaches to suit the team's needs.

Given these factors, Robert Walls could be a strong candidate to guide the West Coast Eagles towards future success, leveraging his extensive experience and proven track record.

Are you serious? He’s a bit outdated.

 

[Cuzz09]

Pretty sure David Parkin coached Carlton to the 95 flag

Good old A.I.

You know the trade and free agent period doesn’t start until after the grand final. Players can’t move until then anyway.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

So when does King start?

 

[sobrave]

Looks like Kern is staying put.

 

[Truly Lazuli]

No, the complete opposite of serious.

Would have sent Darling to the ruck ages ago.

why will harley reid be player coach for west coast

The idea of Harley Reid becoming a player-coach for the West Coast Eagles is an interesting and unconventional scenario, as it combines the roles of a player and a coach, which is rare in modern professional sports. However, exploring why such a scenario might be considered involves a few speculative factors:

1. Exceptional Talent and Leadership: If Harley Reid is an exceptionally talented player with strong leadership qualities, the club might see him as a potential future leader both on and off the field. Combining these roles could be a way to leverage his skills in a unique manner.
2. Long-Term Vision: The West Coast Eagles might be planning for the long term and view Reid as a key figure in their future. Having him in a player-coach role could be part of a strategy to build a strong team culture and develop future leaders from within.
3. Innovative Approach: The club might be looking for innovative ways to develop their team and culture. A player-coach model could be seen as a way to blend on-field experience with coaching insights, although this approach is uncommon and would require careful management.
4. Unique Skill Set: If Reid has an exceptional understanding of the game, combined with the ability to communicate and lead, the club might be interested in experimenting with this dual role to maximize his impact.
5. Development and Transition: This could also be a transitional role where Reid starts to take on more coaching responsibilities while still playing. It could be a way to prepare him for a full-time coaching role in the future.

In reality, player-coach roles are rare in modern AFL due to the demands and complexities of both roles. Typically, the roles are kept separate to allow individuals to focus on their specific responsibilities. Nonetheless, the idea highlights the potential for innovative approaches in team management and player development.

Cox says Eagles will find right man … but it’s not him

West Coast great Dean Cox has backed his former fellow Sydney assistant Don Pyke to pick the right man to turn the Eagles around — but is adamant it won’t be him.

thewest.com.au

 

[squashface]

Coming around to the idea of Schofield to be the man for 3-5 years while we fix the list as he already has those relationships and players clearly play for him.

Then Cox swoops in after that.

Can't believe some in the media are still going with the Cox stuff. It isn't going to be him. Move on

 

[WA footy mad]

Lets hire AI for our coach, they run the computer out at 1/4 time.

 

[Biscuit45]

I do agree that it is getting quite repetitive. I just listened to a portion of his interview on SEN WA after Gossage asked him related questions, and Cox sounded noticeably irritated, to me at least.

In saying that, I do hope that more potential candidates emerge after Finals has concluded.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

I recon people will need to consult with friends and loved ones for an "are you ok" session soon, when Ken leaves port and is rolled out as our next senior coach. It's on.
