Mark Mickan appointed coach for the 2014 and 2015 seasons

Will be interesting to see how he goes.

good signing for the bloods

No real surprise was it?

Phew.

Good appointment by West. Has got plenty to work with just needs to find a key forward!

Good appointment for West, they'll actually have a chance in September/October with Mickan.

Mickan has a good finals record?

Excellent appointment.

It will be difficult to hate West properly now.

In the event that Glenelg does not go top - which I confess is almost a certainty - then I hope Rubbers can win the flag.

I hope that the West Adelaide board can afford him the level of confidence which Metcalf could not.

Good appointment I would have thought, even considering finals record.

Top appointment !

Wish we had him

Im willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, afterall its just a given that the Bays lose finals

Was the Bays poor finals record attributed to Mickans coaching or the players not handling finals pressure?

I guess you will find out.

You will be allright, Collo to the rescue.
Can just see it now, the first 0-0 draw in the SANFL.
Cold wet night at Noarlunga with a howling gale and all the players inside the oppositions 50m zone playing rugby for 120 minutes. The conditions down there will suit his style

Didnt he get them to a GF?
They cant keep blaming coaches, being losing finals for 100 years.
They did get exposed a couple of times on the bigger ground in finals, not sure if that was attributed to his style or the players leg speed though

Good appointment, well done to all!

At least that means we will be in the finals

Would I be right in saying Mickan has one final victory as coach?

No surprise but a good appointment.
Congrats Mark and Westies. A good fit, I believe he is more suited to West than he was at Glenelg.
