I'm not concerned, Norwood and Eagles / Port will have different applicants at least in the final group due to employment conditions and criteria. It can always be sped up if need be but I don't think it wil come to that.
Actually if u sit down and talk about who's out there ,I know some of us Eagles fans have .There is bugger all good ex coaches in SA me thinks the nets will be needed to be cast wider .
It still doesn't bother me as I said one is full time and the others are part time, plus at the end of it you want someone that wants to coach your club not just whatever job they can get.
The gap between SANFL coaching and AFL Assistant coaching has got even bigger than it was plus Football Departments have got even bigger. For financial reasons very few AFL Assistant Coaaches will drop back to SANFL coaching. You might get someone like Daniel Healy who was more in developement rather than coaching. I looked back and I think I worked out 9 of the last 10 SANFL coaches appointed were locals, might not be exact with that but I think Collins was the only exception.
I think all three clubs will get applicants from interstate but all will end up going local and I see the final list at each club of say 3 or 4 being very different.
