Twig is rawlings

Cameron was extremly impressive he has the tactical nous the ability to communicate however he has not been apart of a flag and has only been a coach at one club however they belive his organisational skills development skills and the fact he has done an apprenichip under the tactical genisis of rocket benifit him plus his understanding of the tigers history and his desire to see success is what impresses them
Scooty, I would say he is more than a 'dark horse' at this stage going by what you just said.

DD get ready to collect!!!!

Hey scooty, i hear there were 2 applicants that were very poor.......can you share anymore on this?

Wallace must've re-applied.

I hope Hardwick wasn't one.

Neeld & Leppitsch are a joke.

Not good news about Hardwick. 2nd thoughts maybe?

You got one of the poor ones right.
The other one that you haven't mentioned was comical apparently .
 
well speaking to my sources this is one reason why viney didnt continue is more of a pen and paper man he to came from the hawks coaching panel could be something in it
 
your spot on smoking aces camerons biggest downfall is the fact he can be seen as soft does he have the fire to make the calls

Geez we must be an inferno to coach. ;D

maybe more about who do you love more? the club who makes you jump through hoops or the one who comes telling you how awesome you are and how much they want you

TBH North is the safer bet, because at least you know you have the gig. After failing the competitive audition a couple of times, maybe Hardwick is playing it safe.

All this said, this is 100% guess upon guess upon rumour.

Try asking Eade about that. ;)

I hope you are right, because if this is his biggest downfall he has the job. Eade speaks highly of him as a hard man coaching wise.
 
I reckon if Rawlings gets the job, then this process has failed dismally. It would have all been a waste of time and effort.

Surely, with a dozen or so applicants there's gotta be someone better than Rawlings.

I'll be glad to be wrong.
 
Thanks Scooter.

Do you have any insight on the shortlist?

Sounds like Rawlings, Cameron, Richardson and.....................

If it is right and he didn't have his head in it, I would hope it is for the fact North are into him. Otherwise I would say he is just about a goner senior coaching wise.

Too many excuses ranking up.

As T74 wisely said though, all just opinion and idle specualtion on rumour.
 
any word on Scott? I know the impression was he wasn't desperate for the gig early on, but wondering if the Eddie/Bucks lovefest may have motivated him



On the Kangas, maybe they should poach Gavin Brown (they seem to like leftover Pies at Arden Street :hihi)
 
Shame Andy Collins didn't apply. Maybe he's a Ray Shaw type and doesn't want to coach at AFL level.
