lizbeff..you must be seriously confused re the kenilworth coach, he is a former Kenilworth saafl rep,A grade captain, A grade b & f winner, 250+ games for the club, assistant coach the last 2 1/2 years and coach the last 1/2 of this season and played at age 39 versus you lot in the A grade GF in 2005 ! but seeing as you seem to know it all we will leave you in that animated state and say que sera sera..and yes,i used to play there so i do know what im talking about..

Well put

Have heard Brett Kent is in the front running for it, very good coach...

were did u hear that from fudd? if its true do u have any past info on him, ive bever heard of him but i did hear that we miught find out the coach at B and F night in two weeks

[zedman]

ive known brett for 10 years..he played A grade for kilburn in their better years and has coached at a lot of clubs mainly in the country..really nice bloke but can be a hard task master..you could do a lot worse than have him as a coach

[The Ash Man]

I heard on the grapevine that Athelstone have interviewed a former Glenelg reserves coach and he looks like getting the job.

[Pertaringa]

I hear Mark Weaver has been re-signed to Coach TTG in 2008, congratulations to him and the Club for sticking with him.

Extra 400 metre sprints for you if he does, mate

[Down&Out]

Carry finally got a gig- he has been floating around a few clubs for a couple of years now. Good on him- hope he isn't as angry as a coach as he was on the field

I Realise this is a metro thread but, this may or may not affect some SAAFL Teams, This from the Hamilton Spectator.;

THE Portland Football Club has confirmed the biggest rumour in football this week – Mark Jeffries will not be coaching the Tigers in 2008.

The shock decision was made at a meeting of the club’s board last week, with Jeffries being informed of the decision at a meeting on Monday.

Club president Jeff Dyke said while he understood some people outside of the club may view the decision as an unusual one given Jeffries’ success with the playing list – having led the Tigers to two premierships in a row – the board felt it was the right decision to make.

“It does seem like an unusual call,” Dyke admitted

“He certainly did a fantastic job coaching to get us back-to-back (premierships), but he is probably not leading us in the right direction as to where we want to go, without saying anything too derogatory about him.”

Jeffries said he was still waiting to hear from SANFL club Woodville West Torrens Eagles about a possible position at the club, but added if that did not work out he would begin looking for a new football home.

“I should know within the next 24 hours if I have a position at the Eagles Footy Club in the SANFL, so

I’ll work out what I am doing from there, either at the Eagles or looking for a new coaching role,” Jeffries told The Portland Observer during the week.

I probably could coach Portland, with the list they had you wouldn't really have to do much coaching.

Scud wouldn't get a gig on my coaching panel Dutch. Maybe the junior colts if he's lucky.

Exactly right Pag.
He was acting like he used to when he played at North Adelaide 8 or so years ago

Think you are spot on. I know a couple going to league clubs, and one O/S. Koster i think will play on as a player, but it defintley is a plum job with a lot of depth at the club but just needs stucture from the coach.

[Andy #24]

SHOCs aren't that good, they have lots of depth because everyone at their school plays footy. Last couple of years have had a crap backline

[NO-MERCY]

Definately RRR,,dont think Koster should play tho,his knees nackered.He should concentrate on coaching only & get a bit tougher on blokes like Winstanley, who should be setting a better example as a leader & showing more discipline 2 the younger ones around him.Like you said RRR theres no structure & that comes down 2 the coach,so if Kosters serious about his coaching ,dont play coz playing & coaching dont work.
