Personally i think it should be an outsider

Not all the "locals"' will say that, certainly no more than anyone else.

Lessons long learned from other clubs, and from within, that playing legends don't necessarily make the best coaches (North folk might care to back me up there), and that lesser known players can make very good coaches and leaders.

Besides recent history, Alan Stewart got the Club to our first Grand Final in the '90s. By contrast Gary Window, a Magarey Medallist, coached the club to its last spoon 18 years earlier.

my rumour is that Guerra has already been approached.

DOGS64 , I think most realised what you were getting at and thanks for posting that it was good to read it again. Its not just SANFL supporters see what damage the AFL is doing. Its a disgrace and another accolade to Laird IMO .

In the 19 premierships won since 2000, they have been won 15 times by coaches who were ex players of their club, and 4 times by coaches from outside. Outsiders were 2001 Centrals coached by Alistair Clarkson, 2002 Sturt coached by Brenton Phillips, 2011 WWT coached by Mick Godden, and 2018 North coached by Josh Carr. Jonas, Laird, Fuller, Basset, Mattner, Mickan all played for the club they coached to premierships.

Well done to Roy Laird on an unbelievable run, the SANFL will be much poorer without him.

Would love to see him employed by the SANFL in some aspect, he would sort out those that are a cancer to the league in no time.

Great idea, although I suspect he's not enough of a 'yes' man for John Olsen's liking.

Cancer, really! A hideous disease that effects us all and should never be spoken about out of context. Appalling, over-dramatic :(

Your first post was to complain about this becoming an "AFL whinge thread', yet you're doing more to make it that than any other person posting here.
Roy's stance on the AFL was admired by all of us, and fittingly, will be brought up in his own tribute thread.
P.S. as defined in the dictionary: a cancer is "an evil or destructive practice or phenomenon that is hard to contain or eradicate."
I think Norwood 8 is spot on, and Roy would agree also.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

Fantastic coach and surely joins the legends of past eras (Oatey/F. Williams etc) in that field.

Hopefully wont be lost to the game, has to much to offer, bet a few Country and Ammo clubs will be circling come seasons end ;)

He'll go down as a legend for the premierships, but just as admirable was his willingness to rebuild and stick it out in tougher times and his passion for the SANFL and public voice for a better SANFL. Much respect to a man who did/does everything for the right reasons and does it well.
