Ashley Prescott
Assitant Midfield coach ...This is his 3rd season he has worked with Scott Camporeale. I'm sorry a waste of money ( One of Knight's Jobs for the boys? )
Adrian Hickmott
Development Coach ...GIVE ME A BREAK! former coach of the Bendigo Bombers promoted to senior coaching staff this year...Bendigo's record 2009 Played 20 won 0
Some may argue I know. Probable replacements I have no idea.
Choco Williams, Simon Goodwin, Andrew Mcleod, Tyson Edwards?
BTW in church this morning I prayed for egg on my face. Hoping that everything negative I have contributed throughout this forum recently comes back to haunt me [-o<
Can I just ask why you think the assistant midfield coach, Prescott, deserves the arse, but not the midfield coach, Campo?
Our coaching structures are f*****, we recruited the nest development coach in the League from Collingwood, Alan Richardson and what do we do, do we make him our development coach, no lets make him our forward line coach.
We recruited Ashley Prescott on the wonderful work he did developing young Indigenous players in WA. Do we make him our developmental coach, no lets make him the assistant midfield coach.
Who do we make our developmental coach, some ****tard who has come to the club without any f****** experience in a developmental role, who we make the coach of our VFL (so one of his major roles is developing our young talent) and he does it so well, that Bendigo goes through the season without winning a game. What would most clubs do in that situation, probably say thanks but you are clearly not up to it, what do the geniuses at our club do they promote the ****tard to the senior coaching panel and make him the f****** developmental coach.
Anyone who says the is not any area in this club (Board, coaching staff, playing staff, Football Department, membership department etc etc) that isn't a complete f****** rabble, you would have a tough time convincing me.
OK if Knights survives to next year , the Board MUST INSIST that
He has a senior assistant ( Mark Williams or Hirdy )
A new batch of assistants (existing coaches .... gone , perhaps Lloydy or Lucas as forward coach )
New on field leadership , Watson to remain as captain (but FFS work on your disposal skills over summer), elevate Hille to vice captain , retain Fletch as backline leader & maybe give some of the younger guys a chance to develop some leadership skills. The existing " leaders ? " , McVeigh , Welsh , Stanton going , going , gone. Their " input " has been non existent. Watson as a first year captain has to do all on his own , Hille absence has been fatal for this team in more ways than one. He has a strong presence on the field..
They should all go and the new coach should select his own people.
Gary O'Donnell, if he was interested, must be ruled out as a replacement for Knights given his involvement in this current situation.
He may be the best option for a caretaker coach for the rest of the season.

O'Donnell has me very confused. For a guy who claimed all he ever wabted to do was foot administration, he has certainly been kicking around as an assistant coach for a fair while. Well, I suppose everyone has a mortgage to pay.

I've thought for some time that our assistant coach selections were perplexing at best.
He got the best out of a very average list and always had them punching above their weight - and lets not forget the conditions he worked under in regard to finances etc....
Is rated as a good tactician etc so I would like to see what he could do as an assistant / game day tactician or some such.
Also he has a bit of mongrel about him which would probably help out a bit with the limp blokes we have running around at the moment!

I actually reckon Laidley would struggle to have any short term affect at Essendon, the one thing North Melbourne always he had were players that will not always the most naturally gifted, they were hard at it, accountable, and played as a team.
We've got a team full of soft cock pretty boys all looking to rack up cheap touches so as not to mess up their hair in the course of a game. That is their nature, I really don't know if the majority of them could be taught how to play tough, hard at it, accountable football.

But maybe Laidley could instill that in the players and/or get rid of the guys who have been around for a while now and are lazy. [-o<
if we screw the development of colyer, melk, pears, gumby, zaka, reimers, hurley and all the other sub-50 games players, we're f$#^ed for 10 years. there's little future in the older guys. Hickmott, as "development" coach, must be the first casualty. in the near future. preferably, this week.

Wouldn't go past Skippy as the development coach ...

Why would Skipworth be any better than Adrian Hickmott?(who i remember as being a fairly handy player and has experience coaching young fellas).
If i was going to look for a development coach of young guys, I would look no further than someone who has been really successful at TAC Cup/Under 18s. ie perhaps someone like Robert Hyde might be interested?
