Thought I'd start a thread where we can discuss coach movements in the off season.

Mark Harvey has quit the Lions, putting his hand up for the Bombres' interim position. Peter Schwab will oversee the new Lions coaching panel. Also in that article, former Bulldog Mitch Hahn will join the Lions in a development coaching role.

Special prize for anyone who can post on all previous movements in the coaching ranks***

***Special prize may or may not exist.

Simpson, Hardwick and Leon Cameron's reputations have been enhanced by spending time as an Assistant to Clarko at Hawthorn who is considered the best senior coach in the AFL.

Speaking of coach movements, Andy Collins had been announced as the new coach of Williamstown.

Has anyone heard if we are looking into getting some quality assistant coaching into the club?

I hear talk of good assistants like Burns, Tudor et al shuffling around as ambitious clubs make their moves. But what are we doing?

We would have to have the least experienced coaching panel in the league or close to it. I'd like to see us chasing one of these highly credentialled assistants. Preferably one from a recently successful club who has proven match day tactical nous.

Good point Doctor. Would like a little more tactical nouse in our box. A Rocket Eade perhaps or a Terry Walllll.....errr....

Wouldn't mind Stewart Dew. On the young side but premierships seem to chase that bloke.

Fair enough. Heard his name thrown up for the senior assistant role at Melbourne under Roos a few weeks ago.

Yep, he could try to get out of Sydney (for the Dees) by claiming he is taking a more senior appointment. Or that's my understanding anyhoo.

Unfortunately Westy said today it's unlikely he'll be back at the Dogs next year.

Is Westy any good as a coach?

Absolutely one of the best players, and most consistent performers I've ever seen play for the club

Doesn't quite fit here probably, but Essendon sacked Dean Wallis today.

The fact that the dogs terminated German might give Westy an in at the club

Any news on German, will he be retained by the Bulldogs in any capacity,?

It was posted on another thread he has quit the Bulldogs to coach a VFL stand alone club but I can't think of the one at the moment.

Nathan Bassett to Essendon:

A strong Crows flavour to the Bombers coaching panel with Goodwin, Craig and Bassett, much like our own ex-Geelong contingent.

Scott West still looking for a gig as he has seemingly missed a role at Essendon with the Bassett appointment:
