Not good news heading into pre season with no coach and plans to bring in players. The Senior coach should be making those calls

Amazing, Id be pretty sure every footy club the the state would have a coach appointed for 2013 already, yet one of the biggest cant get its act together

West only appointed Collins last week & Port will make an announcement as early as next week that sounds like to me they have their act together Dutchy.
You have to make sure you have all avenues covered & Brian Leys obviously feels by then they'll have all interviews complete & a coach appointed.

West did play 5 weeks longer than the Magpies...how can they recruit anyone of quality if a coach isnt in place by now?

And West were trying to retain the current coach. Amateur at best. Not that anyone's surprised.

As if Brian Leys even has any say in the decision. Keith Thomas will say who is coaching and Brian will have to agree

A long as Keith Thomas was suitably informed about the candidates, as club CEO I'd have no issue with that.

Is Beinke still at the Magpies? I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned for this job as he was highly regarded (by those who could forgive him his previous club) whilst he was at Norwood.

Well, the next coach is an ex AFL player from Port.

My understanding is the season kicks off in about April 2013 thats 6 months away.
Plenty of time!

If you are suggesting the coach will be an ex Power player, I think you will be wrong.

Nope. I'm thinking he is ex crows but played for the magpies.

Narrows it down to Bienke, Hodges, Tregenza?

Can we assume options 2 and 3 aren't viable options (not necessarily related to coaching ability), thereby meaning its all more likely to be Beinke.
Unless its McLeod which would probably be unlikely as well.
