Exactly the right time to select a coach, when they are on the decline !

Taking on as senior coach a guy , no matter how good a player he was, who hasn’t coached at all is a recipe for disaster.
A. What percentage of coaches are 2nd or more club per year?Not many 2nd club coaches have taken their new club to a premiership in recent times - Malthouse the most recent? In-fact I can’t think of many that have even taken a team to a grand final, perhaps Lyon at Freo?
Senior Coaching is a young man’s game nowadays (aside from Dimma the most successful of recent years - Clarkson & Scott - were 34 and 40 when they won their first premierships) so for this reason I think we need someone new.
Says not much in a very complicated way. Not keen.im not sure about Buckley
just something about him
Makes part of me feel a little sick and dirty but i completely agreeFor me its Buckley.
Took Collingwood to a multiple finals appearances. The knock on him was he was too controlling. I would think a year away would have provided him great learnings.
Buckley is the most boring speaker Ive ever heard. No.I like Bucks as a person and a commentator but not sure about him as a coach. He's the same age as Dimma - not saying that's too old but he'll be 60 in a decade.
Lappin, Hansen, Yze, Caracella, Bassett are the first to come to my mind.
Get on the blower to Neeld, Noble and Bolton. Learnt a lot from experience and should be ready to go again.
Capper is a deceptively astute student of the game, Fev as assistant would be a dreamteam.
Dane Swan would be a great get.

The old Leppacella. The Q-anon of PRE.
I’d like to have Grigg back, but not as senior coach, not yet. He’s got more of an apprenticeship to do. Same with Morro.Leysy has no idea and no opinion on who should be our next coach.
But he knows two things about the prospective appointment.
Knowing who are the best assistants out there is impossible to know. No-one on here would have much of a clue as it's all hearsay and media fanboy as to who is next best. So many pinup assistants have been absolute failures, and many no-names that were routinely looked over have been a success.
However, you can rule a line through a couple of names that are being thrown up here. Shaun Grigg has what 3 years in coaching, a couple of those just in development. No matter how good tactically, it's impossible for him to have the all round people management experience to take an AFL role on.
The role is so big now, he is still a minimum 5 years away from being ready (his own team for a few years for starters, plus more line mgmnt experience). Likewise Steve Morris who has been nominated.
And Hodge is even more ridiculous.
Whilst Benny and Balmey are with us, we are in good hands. It's fun to throw names around, but none of us have much of an idea.
