Find me one person who can coach our forward line. Near impossible. Did a great job as forward coach at Adelaide though. So much so he was the sole reason McGovern came here. Did a damn good job as coacb of our NBs getting a pretty ordinary side to consecutive Grand Finals.

Obviously on the poll you'd look at Clarko first but he won't come. So if we go an established coach it's Ratten or a rookie coach Caracella. Anyone who went Voss has a very short memory.

Roos & Clarkson have already been approached and offered big $. They're not interested.

Is the Longmuir in the poll meant to be Longmire? & why's there no option for Lyon?

I get this feeling that Luke Hodge could be the next big thing in football coaching. I don't think he needs an apprenticeship. He is unique.

James Hird?

Test positive?

I thought Campo did a real good job holding Adelaide together after their coach Walsh was murdered by his son.
Worth a chat.

I read this without looking at the poster. Then I thought,
"I wonder who wrote this?"

As usual a well argued post, Bondi.

Another great post.

Given what he has gone through do you think he would give a shit about the pressure of being a CFC coach or even if he got sacked?

Would be happy with any of those, but of the 3 I would go with Basset who worked wonders at Norwood at SANFL level (back to back premierships) before moving to Port Power as an assistant. Won't get many votes on this forum because he is in the wrong state and not high profile like some others, but he can coach and has played AFL football as a dour defender at the Crows.
I hope that we never go down that path ever again after the Britain and Bolton experiences. Not keen on any failed former AFL coaches other than Ratten, who compared to our recent coaches did not fail. We made the finals under him and he has since worked with Clarkson.

I have a feeling it will be Scott, I would be surprisingly ok with that.

They did alright last year and he has coached them to finals. He’s young, experienced and he looks super keen to continue his career. He’s a safe bet IMO.

I don’t want Voss or Ratten and I don’t want an untried coach and theres no chance in hell we will be able to poach a successful coach who is currently coaching. 0%.

Would love to get Roos but I think that he has had enough of coaching. My vote went to Basset, but would be happy with Ratts as well.

We have history regarding re-employing a sacked coach, who went on to win another premiership. David Parkin

There's plenty of options about. It's important we don't rush the decision.
Don't just look at the obvious.
There are a few coaches who would be worth interviewing and could excel within a coach/mentor model. Craig McRae is an example.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

Please, can we put the Roos suggestions in the wheelie bin. How many times has he said he's out of coaching period ? I for one would like a coach who actually wants the job. Not someone who has to be talked into it. Final word on Roos, pretty sure he spends about half the year in Hawaii. Why give that up ?
