Neil Craig stands down, Bickley caretaker
Panther, do you mean Brenton Sandersen (ex crow)?
Agree regarding Clarkson, bit worried about the showdown now...The new coach gets team a win theory...

because neither Bassett or Rehn are involved in the current coaching set up, hence making them outsiders.
They also have fairly successful SANFL coaching records, so if it is a ex crow id consider these 2 highly along with Bickley, who is going to get a chance to prove himself.
I think Scott Burns would also be a great option, and obviously Clarkson, Malthouse, Roos would be even better, but id say very unlikely.

How can you say go for Bassett and Rehn and then not Bickley because they need an outsider? They need to go for someone lie Roos, or Clarkson or even someone like Scott Burns or that bloke from Geelong.

Nathan Bassett would be my favourite, doing a great job with Norwood, isnt a Craig Assistant so should bring more fresh ideas, but is also a ex Crow Champion, Rehn would be another good one also if he wants a go at it, as from memory he did a decent job with West and had a stint in Brisbane under Matthews. Both these guys have actually been a head coach, which is something many AFL assistants never have.
No disrespect to people like Bickley but i think they need an outsider not someone who has been under Craig the last few years and may be wanting to keep it similar, if they do go with Bickley i hope he changes it up a fair bit, game plan needs changing. I guess the next few weeks will tell if Bicks can make the neccesary adjustments to the game plan and freshen it up a bit, if not then get an outsider.
