Unless Gotch was the only that applied . I find it hard to believe nothing was said at the B&F last night and it only took a day and to go through the interviews. I hope Brad get the job. Andrew Hayes must got secretly last night then

[DOC]

I for one am genuinely surprised if Brad takes it.

Magnificent coach and a fantastic get for West if correct.

Why?
On a hiding to nothing?

[DOC]

No,

He has recently (last month) become Head of Football (whatever that means) at De La Salle in the VAFA.

Pig of a time to relocate and as I understand it the salary on offer is around half of what Gavin Colville was on.

South were not going much better when he started with us.

Might have to reprise the West v Glenelg bet with Spargo

The West Adelaide Football Club is excited to confirm the appointment of Brad Gotch as its new Senior Coach for the next two years.

Brad joins the Bloods from the Collingwood Football Club, where he was the Academy Coach and Coach Education Manager.

Prior to his time at Collingwood, Brad coached Williamstown to a VFL premiership and also led South Adelaide FC to a preliminary final appearance in his first year in charge (2014). His extensive experience across AFL and state league football will be an asset for the Club as we look to further develop the playing group in 2021 and beyond. With a proven track record of creating and developing high performance cultures, Brad is an exceptional leader and highly regarded across the football industry.

Prior to his accomplished coaching career, Brad played 43 games for Fitzroy and 53 for St Kilda in the VFL/AFL as well as 11 games for Port Adelaide Magpies in the SANFL.

Gotch said, “Thanks to the West Adelaide football club for having the confidence in me to lead the club for the next two years. I am excited about getting started especially to meet the playing group and staff as quick as humanly possible.”

“The whole interview process was as professional as I have experienced and the passion shown by all was enough to convince me that this role was the fit for me!"

“I can’t wait to get started & to the supporters get behind the club as I can see exciting times ahead.”

CEO Ben Hopkins said “Brad’s coaching record speaks for itself. Having led strong programs both in the SANFL and interstate we saw him as a strong candidate for the role straight away and he confirmed that with the way he conducted himself throughout the process.”

“He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience which can only help us in our quest to continually improve our football club. His energy and enthusiasm for the role was evident from the moment we engaged with him and we’re excited about him leading our group into 2021.”

An excellent get by the Bloods! Well done!

[Brodlach]

The new group of people who have only been in control over past 8 months are starting to kick some goals. This is their first off season and I for one am excited for next season already.

Not sure if mentioned before but Ryan Bastinac has left Norwood.

[gazzamagoo]

Strong rumour coming from Sfizio is that Jade Rawlings will be Norwood's new coach.

[Robran]

Jade Rawlings signs a 3 year contract to coach the Norwood F.C

[Jackal1]

Two coaches in the SANFL named Jade...how bizarre.

Jade 1 has a SANFL premiership.
