Opinion Who would you like to see coach the Dees next?

[Jibroni]

Buckley was a Don Sheed miss from being a premiership coach. Always impressive to listen and he critiquing of games is worth listening.

Can we have the option to select two?

I have two I'm equally interested in and can't decide.

All I know is we need to move now to get ahead of any other clubs moving on their coach.

 

[Scythe]

Sure – should be able to now.

I heard Adam Simpson on the radio over the weekend and while I enjoy listening to him and think he speaks a lot of sense he basically said that he doesn't believe in the backhalf gamestyle that is in vogue and doesn't believe it stands up in big games. Basically said it was a fad and that he expected front half football based in contest to ultimately win out in the long run.

So I'm a no to him off that.

He comes across good in the media but I've always been a no to him. West Coast shows you all you need to know. I'd take Hinkley over Simpson.

Yeah. I’m sceptical of Simpson, pushing Goodwin out for a coach that took a powerful club with far more resources into joke territory after a flag is a big no from me. However, given we’re the same club that threw shit money after bad in re-signing Viney for 4 years after the Oliver contract, I reckon Simmo will be coaching us for the next 7-10 years.

Wouldn't surprise me if the board and CEO they appoint thought as deeply as "we can't get rid of a premiership coach unless we are replacing him with another premiership coach" ...makes perfect sense.

At this point in time I'm willing to accept a trained chimpanzee over Goody.

Sure – should be able to now.

Thank you kind sir.

Longmire or C Scott would be perfect. They could get a tune out of the current mob and/or rebuild on the run with Windsor, Langford, Lindsay, Fritsch, Rivers, McVee, JVR and Pickett as the nucleus of our next crack. Realistically though, I reckon anyone half decent gives us a miss. You look at Freo and Carlton and think that they both have strong administrators, decent lists and are poorly coached whereas we have playing group dramas, and an interim Pres and CEO.

 

[Topkent]

Bucks' game plans have been pretty defensive over his coaching journey. He could possibly evolve but I'd be concerned if we got him .

You only have to listen to him in the media though and he's clearly able to say what's happening with modern footy better than even current coaches. I doubt Buckley would come in and try and play 2015 footy.

 

[Topkent]

I don't really care if they are best friends with the players. You can still be ruthless with list management and get along great with everyone.

I think the balance is respect, you don't need to love your coach if you respect them.

I don't care how much the world's changed, young blokes will always need an adult figure to get them into line. Doesn't have to be with insults and calling them shit like back in the day but a cuddle and kiss just validates bad behaviour sometimes

 

[Topkent]

Look at the McGuire/Malthouse combo as probably the perfect combo.

They built an us vs them mentality, they strongly backed and defended their own no matter what but privately came down like a tonne of bricks on them if they let them down.

Is good at a rebuild and succession plan though.

But yeh I know - if it’s not Longmire or Buckley I’d be happy with a young first timer. Actually I’m not even sure I’d like Buckley.

Adam Simpson interests me enough to consider too.

If only we’d promoted Yze before he left!

Missed a trick there by not including Topkent in the vote list there, Scythe94

I’d genuinely be happy to see him have a go. However it turned out, a few strong messages about being dull and unwatchable seem worth a go.

Solid selection. Would also be groundbreaking as the first AFL coach to coach remotely from Canada. Snowy mountains satisfy our heritage though. Elbows up.

First thing out the door is this love bullshit. If blokes aren't punching on at training they aren't up for selection

I knew my idea was solid

 

[Proper Gander]

Buckley is still the other option that I'd like (again, doubt he comes here). Good football brain, commands respect, holds people accountable.

Even though it flies in the face of the way that I like to lead teams, we don't need somebody to come in and be best pals with all the players. They need somebody that tells them honest truths and pushes them to get the best out of themselves. The arrogance/fear of change that has permeated through the club since a hot finals run four years ago has been the main thing that has held us back - enough coasting on that.

EDIT: I don't mean a Neeld type lol. Somebody with balance, and I believe Buckley and Longmire both have that.

I’ve just discovered the secret of Scythe94 moderator success. We’re all best pals here!

Melbourne shitness definitely equals an increase in Simpsons content and I'm all for it

CEO seems to be the biggest
poisoned chalice in the comp atm.
Cant blame anyone for not wanting it. Smith Would be ideal

In terms of Senior Coach, i just want a Sen Coach that i s Ruthless.
Bucks?

 

[SugarHealey]

I like the way Jimmy Bartel thinks about the game.

I like the way Jimmy Bartel thinks about the game.

He was footy director at the Giants for a bit. I'd take him as GM of football, but can't see him wanting to do it.
