Andrew 'Mini' McQualter

Newman and Carr have no senior experience either
Pyke …. No way. Didn’t you read about the fiasco at Adelaide in 2017?

Newy has senior VFL experience. Coached Box Hill in 2017 and 2018. 2nd place and VFL coach of the year in 2017 and VFL premiers in 2018. Then back to Hawthorn assistant in 2019.

Carr coached Nth Adelaide between 2016 and 2019 and won the SANFL premiership in 2018

Hopefully McQualter dosent rush players back from injuries..if Hardwick had a negative it was selecting players too soon after being injured.

I don’t call that senior experience really.

I think taking a state league team to a premiership while also having AFL assistant coach experience is far worthier than a coach with AFL experience who has failed to win a premiership

A motivated Ross Lyon? Bad ball bounce and worst non ARC Hawkins goal / injury to key saints away from a flag.

There is an element of luck in almost any flag IMO - or do you somehow bring that unluckiness with you.

I think a tried AFL coach who got more out of the list than you would expect is a good one too but 100% agree doing well with your own 2nd tier team plus AFL experience is really good too.

Newman coached Box Hill to a flag. Carr coached Nth Adelaide to a flag. Fly coached our VFL team to a flag. A theme perhaps?

Pyke is a gun coach. He went off the rails after losing the 2017 GF but he will have learnt a lot from that and it won't be repeated. He returned to Sydney and completely turned that team around.

I know right? The man organized a pre-season camp that was so bad it damaged the club and has taken 6 years to recover from.

The camp was organised by Leading Teams. You think Dimma organises our pre-season camps?

Its ok if you don't want him to coach us but don't make stuff up to try and justify your opinion.

There's a lot of positive PR going around for Mini. I hope it's just to rally supporters for the rest of this season and not the start of a campaign to determine the outcome of the next coaching appointment.

I think our administration is far smarter than that now.

Imagine if that happens and we make finals.....what would Dimma think?

I noticed Grigga's this week Homecoming Hero....hmm.....whisper in the ear....

This video with Jack interviewing is funny looking back to 2011.
