Assistant coaches [merged]

[Diocletian]

If CCJ & Stack weren't horny & hungry we probably would've had at least one more assistant this year...

Not for $100k you wouldn't. Assistant coaches are on much more than that

No-one said they weren't but it still would have a knock on effect of what we can offer coaches, especially coming on top of the covid cutbacks...

True but as you would know $100k would cover the wage of a person in a lesser role but that was important part of the footy department. Or it would cover the cost of 2 maybe 3 match day staff

This too....

Balmey is leaving.


 

[Francois Jackson]

what a surprise, NOT given how poorly we have been in this area.


what a stuff up

[Tiger Khosh]

Or you know just wait for it to play out before overreacting. He’s been linked with every job under the sun for the past couple of years and yet is still at the RFC.

perhaps thats true, though i reckon a combination of lack of wages cause we have spent it all, and combined with whats happening in victoria, id say he is as good as gone.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Balmey has been unwell while he is okay now (i think), I’d be extremely surprised if he’s leaving the club and going elsewhere

Yes- I know it has effected the ability for us having physiotherapists and masseurs at the club during training. Players seeking their own post training massages does impact connection in clubland.

Is this true or not with Balme ?.

[Diocletian]

Be very surprised if at at his age and after a year of poor health he upped & moved interstate....

[Andyy]

Nothing wrong with Balme going.

We've achieved everything with him here.

Although I too would be surprised if he moved anywhere but WA.

[georgies31]

I reckon we need him for the next year or 2 within this transition period we seen what he did in 2017 shake the place up no better man to do it.

We aren’t a poor club anymore. We need to stop acting like a poor club and invest where the money is most needed.

We shouldn’t skimp on our footy department.

We are allowed to pay over the soft cap. Pay the tax! It’s not a big deal.

Does anyone think the Hawks aren’t going to be paying more than the soft cap next season?

So how much should we overspend by?

Just want to calculate how much tax we'd need to pay

[Gigantor]

I think our club leaders have shown they are astute operators for a few years now , more than happy to support them in their decision making

Who cares?!
What’s the alternative?
Skimp on recruiting? Skimp on player development?
Where did that get us for 30 years?

Whatever it takes to have quality people around the club so the ones we currently have don’t have to double or triple their load because that’s how burn out occurs or diminished focus on all players individual requirements to further development.
This game is about percentages. This isn’t the time to be losing quality people to other clubs.

How is West Coke, Geelong, Essendrug and Swans able to increase their off field team or at the least keep it the same?
How is Hawthorn going to be able to afford to pay Clarkson out and still keep assistants? Do you truly think they will stay under soft cap?

I don’t think the “richer” clubs give a stuff about soft cap as much as we do.


PS. Interestingly that we don’t have access to see who is part of the footy department any more.
