Surely the 2 time premiership and former WAFL coach of the year in Cam Shepherd will be short listed.
Hey DD did you ever find the secret video/tape re Ross Lyon? Perhaps it might surface now Lyon has left the building.
Poor Ross run out of town by a vindictive WA media and members/supporters whos knowledge of coaching would be zero. I wonder how many more games they would have won with S Hill, Wilson, Bennell, Taberner, Lobb, Hogan, Ryan, Cox and Pearce playing more games. :whistle: :whistle:
Don’t know much about Longmuir but gut feel is he’s not the right guy. I’d go Sumich.
Good to see you pop your head up RD and a rare moment we agree on something. Sumich is an AFL coach in waiting and his time with the u/18’s will give him an advantage other assistant coaches don’t have.
For me JLo is still a bit too young to lead an AFL team on his own. He only retired in 2007 age 26. That makes him 38 on my abacus. I haven’t heard him or seen him much in front of the media and that’s another area a coach needs experience. And he hasn’t coached his own team. Suma coached SF for a couple of years and now the u/18’s the last couple of years and two stints as a senior AFL assistant in between.
Surely you’re not trying to defend RL? Maybe Peel will play with more freedom now he’s gone?

Cam Shepherd would be a shoe in for mine RD. Imagine how he’ll go with 22 Freo players in the team instead of only 17. :blink:

DD at 38 and with 10 years as an assistant the last couple at a very professional club, he is cherry ripe to take on a head coach position.
Will be interesting to see how the Freo squad react to a coach with a more attacking mind set, i expect it will feel like a ball and chain has been removed and they can play with more freedom and flair. Lets hope the boys thinking of moving decide to give the new coach at least 1 year to show his wares.

SS I just think the senior players like Fyfe, Walters and Mundy will react better to a more senior coach like Sumich. I remember taking my son to watch Eagles training at an open day when Woosha was coach and Suma was still punting them through for fun 45 - 50 from the right forward pocket at the Princess Margret end. I think he always oozed confidence in his ability and can release the shackles and encourage the players to enjoy their footy.
