South Coach

[am Bays]

Get the CEO to do the job, he's buggering up everything else, he may as well carry on and stuff that up too.
Just happen to know of a certain "cockup" in the Damien Cupido to Westies deal which cost a sponsor $10K thanks to BK and his burning ways, suffice to say he's no longer a club sponsor and the club has lost plenty because of it.

I think the sacking of Sampson will cost some sponsorship as well.
BK is a goose and should have nothing to do with the football side of things.

Hate to think if Honor was appointed.......the Lynch Mob would be certain to knock down the doors!!!!

Surely Honor is not in the running ???? Must be a joke.....he stepped down from the board for crying out loud!!!

& wouldn't that be a reason as to why he resigned from the board ? i believe south are (on the field) worse than the bad sturt, glenelg, north & west teams when they've been at their worst in the last 15 or so years

I refuse to believe that the SAFC is that stupid to appoint Honor.

[aceman]

from what i think i reckon brenton honor will get it, i believe a former central player coaching or has coached in the vfl would be a very good get but has he applied ? or would he want it ? saadi ghazi (not sure of the spelling)

Just as an aside bayman, you might want to revisit your signature

[bayman]

BH may not be Honor, my mail it is someone else with the same initials.......

brent heaver ?

Well I heard a fortnight ago there were former afl assistant coaches looking to coach the panthers

No way, don't do it. A reminder of one of the more interesting threads around here.

i wouldn't know how to change it anyway

[Sojourner]

Just suppose the initials were - G H, and the person being currently interviewed for the position was Gary Hocking.............?

Perhaps he may have even already been offered the position and be thinking over his options at present perhaps?

[Mr66]

Brian Goorjian - if he turns up the place will be broke within 12-24 months

But will be premiers though

Sounds promising......

but he'll have everyone including the midfield & ruckman in the backlines from the start of the game, i recall 'whiskers' doing this when coaching in the wafl

Coaching Peel Thunder in the WAFL

[panthers 2008]

I am sure who ever our coach is will be announced in the next week or so.
Lets just hope he is going to be someone who commands respect and I hope gets to hand pick his assistant coaches,or has some input into his coaching assistants.
Are John Reid and Ron fuller going to put their hands up for any roles within the South Adelaide football club? John Reid would be a huge asset to the club and would not tolerate fools! Ron Fullers record speaks for itself!
We need more than just a good coach at the moment!
Some solid good football nouse is needed within the club to understand just what a tough gig it is to coach a football team and steer the club tword the success all south fans crave and deserve!

Here is the Cut and Paste of my thoughts on the subject from the SAFC board - clearly one of the applicants has now been hired, yet I do feel that I have been able to come up with a good list of candidates that would be good for the club.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Peter German - played for North Melbourne, won the flag with Subiaco twice. German got Subiaco to their first of their current era flags. He is currently coaching at VFL side the Casey Scorpions whom are Affiliated to St Kilda in the VFL. Its worth pointing out that West Adelaide Coach Andy Collins was in a similar situation coaching at Coburg under Richmond when he was headhunted by the WAFC and I feel German would also bring modern AFL coaching methods as well as the track record of rebuilding Subiaco to the flag and i feel he would be a strong candiadate for the role that would match it with any current SANFL Coach.

Darren Trevena - Darren doesnt have the track record of finals coaching in the SANFL that I spoke of earlier, yet we would be crazy not to interview him for the position if he was in fact interested. He is a long term SAFC player, he coached the Tassie Devils (Tassies Team in the VFL). Was the SANFL U/18 Development Coach and is a Current Assistant Coach at the Power.

Scott Watters - Has fairly extensive AFL playing experience with the Eagles, Swans and Freo and led the side that German built up to the 07 and 08 flags, is rumoured to have AFL coaching ambitions and will probably get his go in the not to distant future at either West Coast or Freo.

John Dimmer - If I was going to reccomend anyone for the position, John Dimmer would be my first choice of all the current candidates. He is a very very experienced WAFL coach who coached his side to two Flags at WAFL level, took a break and has returned and taken South Fremantle to the 05 and now the 09 Flag. What is interesting about Dimmer is that South Fremantle were not unlike were South are now. Outside of the finals group in a very competitive competition and the club in all sorts of problems. Dimmer walked into the club and set a rebuilding plan in process that has paid them back two Premierships. He is IMO the ideal candidate for the Panthers considering our current problems - could well bring several good players with him at the same time.

Phil Carman - Took Sturt a complete and utter basket case with no funds and made the competitive although did not win the flag in the SANFL. Cons is that he has been out of the game for some time and would be a gamble, probably to much of a gamble for South at this stage of the game, yet again someone who deserves every chance to make their presentation to the club and make their case having done the job before to the larger half.

Michael Nunan - A hard man and a head kicker pure and simple. Would either sort out the SAFC or walk out as Cahill did. Took North to the flag after taking the reigns again at a side a long time out of it. I would be surprised if he wanted the job being as his horse stables are incredibly successfull, yet would not be dissapointed if he did get the job.

Ron Fuller, his record speaks for itself, Won the flag on one occassion after taking over the Eagles and contested Several others. A current SANFL finals Coach. Very Experienced and would be a huge assett to the club if he was given the job.

Gary Ayres, clearly recognised as the Ex Coach of the Crows. Played in the 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, and 1991 Premierships, As a coach took Geelong to the Grand Final loss against Carlton. Coached the Crows then Assistant Coached at Essendon, moved on to Port Melbourne one of the few sides in the VFL not affiliated to an AFL side. He took Pt Melbourne to the Minor Premiership in 08 and the Preliminary Final in 09. Pt Melbourne dont have the luxury of having AFL players allocated to their side and I feel Ayres has done a fantastic job with the club and with his wealth of experience would be a strong candidate to coach at the SAFC. John Reid clearly knows him fairly well and would be ideally placed to make a call if he is the man for the job at South.

Knowing him is one thing, rating him as a coach is another. Too much SA baggage to make a comeback to Adelaide IMO.

[Swamp Donkey]

Ron Fuller and John Reid have been employed to select the coach, hence its highly unlikely that Ron would elect himself. He's obviously not in the hunt sojouner.

Scott has a business in WA and would be unlikely to walk away from that to take up an SANFL coaching gig. He also has a young family and pretty unlikely to take them away from their extended family for such a position.
