EARLY AUGUST Coaching Preference

[Ramps]

Its early August. As of right now- who is your preferred candidate.

[1965]

After today: Hardwick as Senior Coach with Rawlings as Development officer and Hinkley and Richardson as Assistant coaches.

I'll be honest it was either Hardwick or Buckley.
But obviously now its Hardwick by a long long way.

Rawlings should stay at the club in some capacity unless the carrot of North Melbourne is too great to resist. The rest of the assistants should be shown the door.

Rawlings did himself no favours today.
Looked to me like he tried to implement a game plan ala TW. Where we just needed to keep it simple for the rest of the year.
Not good and no emotion from me until that last kick sailed through, ah well a wins a win

1. Hardwick
2. Hinkley
3. Richardson
4. Rawlings


In that order.

Hard to tell from the outside to be honest. Hardwick obviously has the record of being involved in premierships whereever he goes. The only knock on him is he hasn't coached his own. Hinkley has been involved in premierships as a coach both on his own at lower levels and under Thompson at Geelong. Richardson has a strong developmental record. I still wouldn't write off Rawlings off based on one bad game. Today I blame the players. If you don't mentally come to play and start thinking you only have to turn up to win then you're playing with form and fire.

Well pretty obvious who i want to do the job! I just think he gets the young blokes to respond! Jade is not trying to implement a TW game plan as an earlier post suggested, the players themselves are slipping back into it out of instinct! Its hard to lose 4 and a half years of game plans in only a few weeks!

Totally agree, even though we won, Rawlings was competely outcoached.
Melbourne had one interchange player in the last quarter

Hardwick
Hinkley
Who Cares.

I thought Port were going to do a Collingwood with Hardwick assistant to Chocco for 2 years.
