Taking on as senior coach a guy , no matter how good a player he was, who hasn’t coached at all is a recipe for disaster.
He coached a little in Brisbane and hasn’t been out of the game since his retirement.
That experience, looking and evaluating different teams and different strategies, (as well as he has) suggests a very high footy i q. Have seen nothing to suggest he lacks leadership or management skills.
But I would expect the selection committee to look into these issues and can see that they might find flaws.
Not unusually the group of current assistant coaches don’t seem to offer up an outstanding coach, who is obviously next in line.
Can be sure that despite your conservative position, that if Hodge does put up his hand, he will be interviewed.
B Gale would certainly see to that.
) and then there’s been Clarko type stories of success .
