John Cahill offered the job at South Adelaide

[Sojourner]

Rumour is moving from warm to hot at the moment, apparently Mark Bickley announced on Channel Nine news this evening that South have formally approached Cahill and offered him the position.

Interesting, it gains momentum after KG drops it on air.

Not sure how closely tied Bickley is to South anymore, but I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't been there in years.

However, a coup if they get his signature - better than all of their interstate playing recruits put together over the last few years.

The Panthers will have to install one of those seat-lifts in the grandstand at Noarlunga if Jack accepts the gig...

[bayman]

they actually almost had him about 4 or 5 years ago but when port got wind of it they signed him up........watch out timmy

[Barto]

Desperate times.

See if they can get Sheedy as his assistant.

And/or oxygen at the top.

if you mean cahill then yes is the answer

I think he may have played junior footy there, but somewhow finished up at Port through some type of zoning.

They'll be in touch with the young people.

Cahill won the 1960(?) McCallum Medal when playing for South. His uncle and father both played for South.

[sturt1]

Is Jack Cahill proud of his south heritage I wonder?

[smithy]

It's a major case of what could of been.

If Jack Cahill stayed at south and Fos stayed at westies we could have the current lowest crowd pullers as the biggest.

But we'd still hate Port of course.

I heard last night that John Cahill has applied for the South job, and at this stage is #1 candidate.

Looks like my mail was pretty close to the mark.

perhaps they could get john todd over as well

[BPBRB]

They the powers to be at South will adding some late additions to the facility upgrade - an enclosed airconditioned coaches box at ground level with wheel chair access if Cahill get the job.

Does he get a "smart care alert pendant" in case he gets into trouble as part of his package?

[Tommo]

Sorry Ian, but i have spoken to the great man himself - he has NOT applied for the job, and will NOT accept the role even if someone from south approaches him....

So that rules out Barrie, Russell and Graham.....what about Jack though....

Stupid choice if this is true, too old, doesn't care about SAFC, is well known to be a money man, short term prospect (2 years at most), cannot relate to youth playing in todays SANFL his success has been Port and Port only. This will prove a failure for both SAFC and Cahill himself. There is only one choice, Darren Trevena, he bring everthing to the club that is required, offer him the $$ and get a long term coach who relates to youth, knows how to coach, is a South past player,and a bloody good one, and will have the best interest of SAFC at heart.
