Title: North Melbourne press conference at 3pm ( re: new coach )
Post by: one-eyed on August 17, 2009, 01:36:46 PM
SEN rumour from anonymous txter so take it for what it's worth  - North will announce their coach tomorrow and it's not who you'd expect. Robbo said is that Brad Scott. Another txter said Peter German. And another said Alan Richardson  ???. Most likely garbage but just putting it out there.

Edit: Cheers wayne. Beat me to it  :thumbsup

North are giving an update on their coach search at 3pm acording to SEN and I think they said they have asked their players to be at Arden St.

SEN not sure if they are announcing their new coach today or just the final candidates and/or timeframe for a final decision.

If anyone can listen in and post what is said it would be much appreciated.

Doran says that SEN asked 'should they take this one live' and they were told yes.

Must be a new coach.

EXCLUSIVE: DAMIEN Hardwick is out of the running for the North Melbourne coaching job, meaning Brad Scott is likely to win the role. The Herald Sun understands Hardwick, believed to be in the final two with Scott, is no longer in the mix.

The Kangaroos will make an announcement on their coaching search at 3pm, with all roads now leading in the Scott direction.

Scott, an assistant coach at Collingwood and a Brisbane premiership player, has also been vying with caretaker Darren Crocker for the job.

Brad Scott and James Brayshaw just walked in.

3 year deal. Very thorough process  :lol

Young, smart, dynamic, ruthless.

All candidates were sensational, Scott a unanimous choice.

He's an apprentice so he's on $5.60 an hour for the first three years  ;D

Pulled out or wasnt interested there job as his preference. right from the start Hardwick told them Richmond was his preferred club to coach. Scott went through our process and didnt get past the first round.

Do you know that or are you guessing?  He must have been 'fairly' interested if he got down to the final 2.

Reading between the lines - Hardwick told them to wait until the Richmond appointment was passed as that was his first preference but rather than get egg on their face once again they chose Scott who was not in contention at Tigerland. The excuse why they 'chose' Scott is smoke and mirrors in an attempt to talk up their decision.

Sad to be North

March said Scott was a sensational candidate who just missed out on getting through to the second round.

That said if Hardwick doesn't get our job I think he will find it hard to shake the career assisstant tag that e.g. Gary O'Donnell seems to have.

It's possible that Brad Scott has seriously peeed someone off there at the pies. You would of thought that Scott would have cleared it with the pies before the announcement.

You can read nothing into that.  If Hardwick had got it then Hawthorn would have done the same.  Too much IP nowadays to keep someone on that you know will be in opposition within a few weeks - planning for 2010 draft strategies, game plans, trades/delistings etc will all be well down the path in each club and they will protect their IP much more vigorously than honouring the final weeks of an employee contract.

Mate, I honestly dont know.
What I would like to know what team each applicant will bring to punt rd.?
At the end of the day, you are only as good as the people who work with you.
I have actually met all 3 applicants.
I like Ken H as a bloke, Richo is good, as so is Hardwick.
Although I think the club should have looked outside the square a bit.
I think the club will go for Ken

I think you have bought up a very good point there in your post about "who" each applicant may bring to punt road.

One of my questions is are they going to be aloud to bring there own team with them or are they going to be stuck with Campbell, Rawlings and Co. If this is the case then I seriously doubt the success of whom ever does get the Job. The new coach could quite possibly be seriously hampered by not being able to determine his own team.

No skin of my nose if Hardwick misses out. I think he is best suited to us but Ill be just as happy if Hinkley gets it. At the end of the day the most important thing is the RFC and making sure we get the best person. Richmond being successful is what counts not individuals.

Agree 100% with that.  If the coach can't do a 'coaching cleanout' (if he wants to) then we may as well keep Rawlings - and that won't be good for anyone at this point.

Don't take the job on.  If you can't get a cast iron guarantee that it's your group or no group then don't take the job.  It's your career/future/reputation on the line, no-one else's.  And if we don't get the best available coach because the club dictates who you must have as your support group then we will have stuffed up mightily.

Yes WP, but both you and I know that a contract is only a payout away from being finished.  And one thing that we can do currently is afford to pay out an assistant's contract.  Even though that's probably one of the few things!   :(

Apparently it's lucrative, if I heard correctly watching On the Couch last night.

Port Adelaide just slashed Mark Williams' contract didn't they?
