30+ - i’d be surprised if WC didnt chase either Harding or McMahon for Worsfold’s job..the quality they bring to the WAFL would be perfect for the Eagles !
I’m certainly no fan of McMahon and Harding has taken his fair share of coach bashing from the Swans fans.
I’d say these gigs would be there last gigs at wafl league level.
Personally I would urge the Eagles to offer John Worsfold a 10 year contract with an option for another 10 years.

The thoughts that I hear are that he has once again lapsed into being a monday coach and that as someone else has said the once great game plan is no longer that great.
His bacon was saved by Scott Burns arrival and his impact on the way they played 3 or 4 years ago.
If the weagles want a coach then Burns should be the one they go for, Roo’s if he wants it but no one any older than him.
(and swan42 try to keep on topic)
He’s a Premiership coach.
Theres no doubt his coaching style of the mid 2000’s is not working with this group and no doubt he has to tweak his game plan and of course like all the other clubs wish for that he can recruit 1 or 2 established players from other clubs.
And you know he will get a 2 or 3 year term.
Whilst on coaches contract extensions the rest of the comp will be hoping Swans offer Harding the term you so generously want for Woosha.
Hey Swan the footy teams you follow are any of those coaches League Premiership coaches??

30: my footy team I support is Swan Districts and has been from the time I started supporting them in the 1960s. Would you like a link to the Swans’ site so you can read about Swans’ history?

Grump how is my expression of my opinion that they should keep him for another 10 years is not ‘on topic’ given that the topic is ‘WCE coach’?
Personally I think Worsfold stays. However I believe it is time for change. Problem is where are the candidates.
Burns: if he is so good a coach why are West Coast so poor in the middle with the assets they have?
Roos: pipe dream. No challenge there and puts him four hours further from the States.
Sumich: will never get the respect of a senior coach at WC.
Eade: seems another unlikely to settle in a new state at this age.
Simpson; apprentiship at a good club done. Possible smoky first time coach.
Walsh: big wraps. Potential the real wildcard of the field.
No real standout there.. Perhaps the grass is greener with Woosha.
Only keep Woosha if we can trade IN some hard as nails hard running men and trade OUT all the hipster dudes, with their 3/4 length jeans, tattooos and ned kelly beards. The hipsters wouldnt put their life on the line for him whereas the real men may
Interesting point of view there MrTC. May well be on the money, although I wouldn’t write Roos off if John decides to call it a day. As for Suma, I’d be surprised if he got an AFL gig. Anyway, it appears to be a moot point after John’s last TV interview.
ucker…you are an idiot.
If you are suggesting that 3/4 jeans and tattoos and beards…then you will be pointing at Masten. He has been great this year and has been veyr hard at it.
If you are saying anyone with a beard then you are throwing Josh Kennedy in their. I think his chase down yesterday shows he puts in hard, runs hard and puts everything on the line.
Bomber Thompson was almost sacked at the end of 2006 for a very average season caused from in house dramas with someone’s wife.
They held on to him, hopefully history repeats quite quickly.
Eagles forward line has been good this year scoring the fifth highest score total.
Hurn, Waters and Schofield having games off with Glass out last week is where we are losing games. Midfield defensive pressure is off also.
With Woosha having conjugal issues this year, he without a doubt deserves next year if he so chooses. As it looks like he does.
Conspiracy theorists wanted here. Why has Woosha said that he wants to coach at another club if the Eagles don’t renew his contract - the club has already stated publically that they want him to stay on.
so a bloke says to me today … heard about how roo’s was coming to Perth and I said yeah ages ago.
He says well everyone thinks its for WCE but a few sources have said it’s freo as apparently Lyon’s family wants to go home.
Lets see if he’s on the money or not!!
West Coast, Melbourne, Brissy Lions and Dorks…I reckon Pauly is gunna be a busy boy, but hell, just think of the pay packet :woohoo:
tactics won’t work so well playing against one of those other teams hahaha
He is going to be su busy - a fourth team he will be coaching in 2014. How about we make it five, as Essendon may need a new coach in 2014 as well.
Apparently he will be leading the Karratha Kats in 2014 as well…
An interesting tweet someone wrote, which I tend to agree with.

I’m sure there’s a reason why West Coast wants to keep Woosha as coach without at least looking around, but it escapes me at the moment.
Why the rush to reappointment Worsfold, why not check out whats around. For mine he’s run his course at WCE
Maybe it’s not Woosha, maybe the squad isn’t as good as the club thinks?
Spot on Shark, I think there are a number of players that probably need to be retired or moved on as I think that the team in general lacks pace and needs a refresh. Some names that come to mind are:
Embley, Kerr, Sheppard,Cripps,Rosa, Ash Smith, Newman, Dick, Morton, Hams. I’m not saying delist all these guys but have a good look at what they could potentially add to the team in 2014 and if there is anyone else around who could do better.
In Kerrs case, he has been a wonderful player for WCE, but they have to consider whether his body can cope with AFL footy after all the battering it has taken. A victim of his great courage
Eagles need to bite the bullet the current line up is fucked…old slow and lacking depth,there’s nothing exciting about the WCE going forward.,hanging onto worsfold is an issue for them,it’s time for a new era..,
