WHO WILL COACH NA IN 2009 ?

[locky801]

pretty sure Daniel Healy played a fair bit of footy at St Kilda..

I can't wait until all nine clubs are coached by Centrals players!

May well happen one day

[Footy Chick]

If you believe radio talk, Roger James will be announced (tomorrow or Wed) as the new coach and Jeff White has signed a 2 year deal at the Roosters as well.

I think you're on the money with the first part, second bit is "pie in the sky'

Roger James as coach, not too sure about that, but Jars must have really upset someone somhow!

Whoever it is will be getting 6 figures if the rumours are true...

Thats still $20k short of Andy Collins

Come on G tell the truth he is on 110 not 120 . Still a lot of money for a sanfl coach.

Tonights CH10 News,

Healy linked to North job, still contracted to Power, they don't want to release him

[Wedgie]

I reckon Healy would be great, we can pay out the Power, we make more money than them.
In fact I might offer my services to the NAFC as Im an expert at paying out the Power!

[smac]

Heals would make a great coach, was destined to be the next Centrals coach until the Power nabbed him. North could do far worse than appointing him.

He did look to be 'studying' more than celebrating in the rooms after the game on Sunday...

[Big Phil]

While I wouldn't have a problem with Heals coaching NA in 2009...

How do the North fans "honestly" feel about the impending coaching appointment ???

Are they happy to go with an untried coach (Heals only coached ressies for 1 year, Roger James not coached at all) or would they prefer someone with senior coaching experience ???

How much experience did Roy Laird have back in 2003?

[smac]

He had the 02 reserves flag under his belt... Which gives him 6 from 7 seasons as coach.

I know, I was just stirring the big man because he dropped the words "senior coach" in his required resume .... what if the Doggies had demanded the same in 2003

Sometime's the right guy is just the right guy

[smac]

I am not entirely sure the club knew they had the right man, they just had the guy who had potential in January when Clarko departed. Turns out a great result for everyone concerned, even Clarko.

Not trying to detract from Lairdy here (and I know I'll cop it regardless), but as an outsider I've always believed CDFC's success came from their new found charter and culture that they instituted when they had pretty much "had enough" of a certain team's dominance and became fair dinkum about their own success.

Not suggesting Lairdy hasn't played a big part in that, but putting the Horse before the cart I reckon the masterminds of the clubs direction back in the mid-late 90's (and those who ensured it was adhered to) are the ones who should receive the greatest adulation.

Healy confirmed as coach of NAFC

SANFL coaches have been getting $100k+ for quite a few years now....

[G]

Well I know as a fact that 2 clubs east ish of the city with virtully the same club song, havent and arent paying their coaches that sort of coin.

well they are getting short changed...but then again both those clubs havent been overly cashed up have they

[G]

And they both took on "rookie" coaches so perhaps their next contracts will be closer to the mark.

[Dirko]

Healy confirmed as coach of NAFC

Shit never thought Gerard would give up his media career.....

[MagareyLegend]

It will be Daniel Healy

I was first to call it (9pm Sunday night) even after my call others tried to trump me with Roger James and Luke Norman but I will claim the victory
