Has anyone heard the whispers about the Power talking to Rick re the vacant assistants job down at Alberton ?
Im sure hes had all the required shots and vaccinations so should be ok to go down there.

Crikey don't tell SturtPeter.....

FWIW though watching the Strut games this year he certainly appears to be one coach who is OTM when it comes to tactical nous. Any AFL club would do well to have him on their coaching staff.

He's hopeless and wouldn't make a good AFL assistant.
Bad tactics, man management..
Only good for an SANFL club.

i know things change but when he was announced coach of sturt, he was also asked if he had any afl ambitions & he said (paraphrasing) with my business i wouldn't have the time to justify doing it properly or thoroughly enough, so i'd say no but things can change

i heard that port are talking to jason torney about the assistants job

According to media reports (if you believe them) he(Torney) has said no to any coaches role at this point of time

- if true !!!

Blue Boy... Would not get too upset over this. Remember it is the Silly season. Rumour, scandal and innuendo are rife until round 1 next year!

Youngster, just rumours and the silly season was it.
Sturt people will never know how close it was.

He's said no

Good to see him stay loyal to the club for next season

It's only a matter of time tho I'd reckon

I would imagine that the fact he has two young kids under the age of 6, and the amount of time he would have to dedicate as an AFL assistant coach would be the deciding factor. Tough enough being head honcho of an SANFL club.
Will be a few years yet!

he told the powder puffs no way but thanks for asking.

Sturt told him he had to see out his contract

I'd be surprised if any SANFL coach doesn't have a 'get out' clause associated with AFL opportunities.

not sure that Rick would be the type of bloke to drop everything and only half do a job.

That's a terrific point, I would imagine much closer to the truth than what MagareyLegend has posted.

Yes that's right Magarey Legend...you have all the correct mail!

Bollox!

Rick resisted all lucrative temptations to Coach at the other level, because he has the TOTAL respect of every player, administrator and Paid up Member and Barracker at Oxford Tce.

Go U Mighty Double Blues!!
