New Coaches for 2006?

Submitted by footyman on
It was said on Casey Radio's yesterday by Paul Amy that Andy Collins was a fair chance not to be coaching Box Hill next year. Would be a shame cos I really rate him as a coach in the VFL, I think he seems to be bloke who gives local suburban players a chance. People like him are good for the VFL. Any truth to the rumour? And if he does go, who do Hawks fans want to replace him? Also, I believe Brad Gotch has his meeting with Collingwood this week. Wonder if he'll stay coaching Willy, or if Eddie will keep replace him with someone he's poached from elsewhere as Mr Ego goes on the rampage, spending big bucks and signing big names to his footy panel. I can't figure out, they had the best facilities in the AFL this year at Lexus and still nearly won the spoon. Money isn't everything Eddie.

Article in today's Herald Sun saying that Collins has taken a job with Cricket Victoria. It also said that Box Hill didn't think he could combine that job with coaching.

You only hate what you can't have. The fact that Eddie and Collingwood are everywhere is the whole point of the exercise. I am no Collingwood fan, but they are probably the most famous club in the country. And that means sponsorship dollars. Collingwood, Frankston Port Melbourne. Pretty hot trio for mine.

Agreed...Collingwood are the most famous club in Australia.. Just goes to prove that it doesn't get you success on the field... Collingwood, Frankston Port Melbourne. Pretty hot trio for mine. Hot??......the word tepid springs to mind

Reckon the name Brett Ratten might bob up somewhere, got a good reputation when he was at Melbourne in 04 and coached in the bush this year. He should try his luck in the VFL.

Apparently Damien Christensen (former Geelong Falcons coach) has a good chance of getting the Coburg job. I presume Andy Collins would be on their shortlist as well, possibly one or two others who have already been named.

Yeah, I think Andy Collins is on the shortlist and he has expressed interest in the job. It was mentioned by Paul Amy in Inside Football.
