Our assistant coaches

[one-eyed]

With the RFC reviewing and restructuring the footy department for 2008, do you think there'll be any changes to our assistant coaches come year's end if Plough remains?

In Caro's article it said Craig McRae was safe as development coach, but what about the performances of Royal (midfield coach), Rawlings (forward coach) and King (defence coach). Royal and King have been there 3 years. Rawlings joined us at the end of 2006.

If changes should be made who should we consider as replacements?

I heard Nick Holland on SEN on Saturday arvo say Jade Rawlings is one of the most knowledgable people on football he's ever met and expects him to become a senior coach at some later stage  .

Mt - I thought Rawlings has only been there since October last year, replacing Wheadon.
I'd also been told  last year that Rawlings' knowledge of footy was very good.

Sorry GB. You're correct. I'll fix the first post.

I have heard the same about Rawlings, everyone that talks about him say that he has a fantastic football brain and knows the game inside out.

[Fishfinger]

Not everyone. 
Someone on this forum said about a month ago "he is a joke".

Funny that Wheedon has gone to the premiership favorites Geelong and is mentoring Bomber Thompson.

Royal is the one that I question.

TW and BR have worked together for a long time, I'd like to see some fresh blood in there. Someone from a recently successful administration who might question Terry's thinking every so often.

Keep McRae. 

Thats all I care about in regards to assistants. 

[mightytiges]

Maybe McRae could put a word to Vossy if he wants to be a assistant coach first. He said tonight he hasn't ruled out being an assistant coach but he doesn't see why people rule out absolutely anyone directly becoming a senior coach.

Royal I know is in trouble. Only a yes man. He can not put a sentence together without saying um.

I would like to get a premiership midfielder in there. Shaun Hart, even Drew Banfield, Ashcroft, Francou. Voss would be the ultimate.

I would like to get Clark Keating to work with Bellchambers next year  an absolute clone.

Royal I think is gone.

Any other premiership mids going round who could fit the bill?Preferably one who has won a flag in recent times. Last 5 years or so. Again preferably a 2 way footballer. Not a downhill skier. One who knows the mandate of tempo footy.

One I forgot to mention is Chris Scott. Brother is working with the pies. A hard bugger too.

Royal is Terrys best mate
