state selectors rick macgown ??

[bayman]

with rick macgown coaching sturt stop him from being one of the state selectors ? & will the others be the same ?

[smac]

I would have thought Rick would be looking to either coach the state side himself (a little early in his career, IMO) or focus entirely on his coaching role with Sturt.

A selectors role, when coaching a SANFL side would be something different, but usually selectors are able to get to games and observe players in contention for a spot in the side, something a league coach would find difficult.

[Blue Boy]

Who else is on the panel ???

As a sturt supporter I am not fussed that our league coach is a SANFL state selector if he still is a selector that is !!!

[Wedgie]

Probably just a time issue if anything, Ricks the sort of guy who could handle the job without any bias showed towards the team he coaches.

[HeartBeatsTrue]

If he was a selector, you'd think that he won't select any Sturt players to avoid risking injury to any of his players

[smac]

Clarkson picked 11 Centrals players a few years ago didn't he?

More likely to give the nod to someone you know as opposed to someone you see every couple of months, IMO.

Someone else might have picked more!

Not bias, just picking the players you know. It's happened plenty of times in the past, just part of the way humans act.

IMO should be state coach as defanately coach of year last season, as getting his team to be most improved.

So he'll pick 11 Central players again

how did you troy get onto rick being the state coach ? i merely asked if he would be able to continue being a state selector & would the other state selectors be the same, as for coaching surely darel hart should get first refusal anyway

i'll edit it as i meant troy

sorry bad use of the english language

[Wedgie]

how did you blokes get onto rick being the state coach ?

I thought only one mentioned him as the coach, I thought the rest of us were talking about him being a selector?

It doesnt really matter who is a State selector because take my word on this, the State coach will only pick the players HE wants. Thats not to say the advice wont be taken on board but when it comes to the crunch, the players will be the ones he wants.

By the way Bayman, Im not even sure who Rick Macgown is but the current Sturt coach, Rick Macgowan is not a state selector this year.
