Coaching Merry-Go- Round (Big V)

Once proud Warrandyte womens role will be open int he next few days, just seen McKinnon looking for a replacement of head women and YL Women program.

With a lack of great junior coaches in small regions there is always pressure on senior coaches to coach juniors, it can be a deal breaker for some clubs.

Why didn’t WP try to make it work. Not everyday a club like them gets a coach like Luke

He stepped down as wasn’t able to commit to junior work and seniors. No bust up etc. club will be fine.

Huge loss for the Steelers. Guessing there would be a mass player exodus if Like is not back.

Godfrey back at Kilsyth - seemed like it was always going to happen.

Things are starting to take shape.

Who haven't we heard from? Connect the dots

Jeff Sparrow is an inspired signing from RMIT and a real game changer for that team, he makes great players and could be a threat for next season

Chelsea have confirmed coach for next season per other post

Chose not to re apply. Happy to have a break.
No issues behaviour wise. Gets along great with people down there. Best of luck!

Could it be...


Roll the red carpet out for Kenny Brunner to return

WP seem to be a bit of sad case atm

I think if you're an ambitious club in Div 1 you apply to go up this year and put a case forward, you only have to go up and make sure you're not relegated and its an easier route into the top division that doesn't come around often.

Warrandyte advertising the coaches job was an odd one from the outside considering this years results.

Lets hope the Bulleen YLM coach last longer than the last one.

Key attribute for a coach in Div 1 & 2 is development, culture builder or recruiter - we can say all three but which is the stand out?

But why would Warrandyte not go then?

Why would Warrandyte not go up? Didn’t they finish on top? And if their import hit foul shots late in game 2 they win a championship.

Bulleen had a losing record and want to go up.

If the other teams go up Warrandyte will have a very lonely season at the top end of the ladder.

Sunbury will be promoted.

Shepparton, Westernport, Keysborough, Bulleen
And Warnambool all applying to go up.

Warrandyte not applying.

No Colac.

Thats right Corio is in the united deal

Blackburn - I don't have any in depth knowledge on this one. Paul Lankford is now Development/ non-travelling assistant with the SEM Phoenix now and the women couldn't get over the hump so it looks like ALL CHANGE I think they have done well to stay in SCM considering the $$$ spent or not spent depending how you look at it. Maybe a sleeping giant??

Corio are no longer, part of the merger to create Geelong United. Not sure about Colac? And Bellarine has been very quiet.

I think SCM is open to a few teams putting requests in

With no relegation I'm not sure how a club can promise a Division yet as the league hasn't released details. And any coach that knows enough abotu basketball here should be wise to that.

Geelong United - forgot about this does this effect coach recruitment for Colac, Corio and Bellarine?

Westernport saying they are applying for SCM in the ad. The board just saying that to try and recruit a coach then they will play D1 after fooling a bigger name coach into going there so they can recruit players

I guess Geelong United will be playing in Big V after all. Applications for Youth League and Senior teams. Is it 2018 again?

Ad went up on bigV site today for wp coaches.
Don’t think some re applied after being told before the end of the season they would be re signed.

Spot on about WP. All their coaches will be re-appointed. Isnt the youth league coach the club president or GM?

Anyone applying for any of those gigs is wasting their time

I remember from a past club I was involved in they had some silly rule they had to advertise the coaching role each year except they just did it on their rubbish website and then resigned the head coach anyway. Maybe thats whats happening with WP

Godfrey great coach - bold move from Hawthorn, If I was some of those other clubs out there looking for a Head Coach I would be tapping him up!

Interesting that it’s only advertised on their website not on Big V website or even their club FB page. Obviously Sunderland is going back so they just ‘advertising’ it to say they did so.

If you wanted to get a new coach you would be wanting the word out there.

Where is the WP job advertised? Nothing on their FaceBook or Big V website.

Either people are just trying to start sh!t or WP are not doing a good job at getting the word out.

He is staying. He has some big time signings as they gonna go up to Champ. Probably a club policy or something

He has done a freaking awesome job taking them from the bottom on div 1 into finals then up a grade. The dude can coach

Surprised that Peter Godfrey got axed. Will the board now also blow the playing group apart?

How did Dorge go this season just past?

Hawthorn .... they always seemed pretty solid

John Dorge as coach of Werribee, he was working at a school recently?

Whats his style like, will we see anything different from the Devils Men

Warrandyte advertising for a coach for the senior men after making the GF?

Hawthorn have rolled out a new set of stalkers on the benches, Peter & Gary moving on, and seem to be really trying to set-up the future of the club. They have been very loud in statements of wanting to play in NBL1

I hear more from them than I do Casey about it

Not Big V but Knox got KENNEDY KEREAMA for the NBL1 vacancy, he is still the CD at Sunbury we have seen this before with Darren Perry having a duel role and two clubs

Strange appointment at Hawthorn

Did Wallan remove the coach I think Papps has just gone to coach the womens team instead that seemed to become bridesmaids in that comp with that roster.

RMIT a real threat for next season depending on the hire

Hawthorn a great role if true!

RMIT would be an enticing roll with a very good import locked in for the next season and a team that outperformed expectations of the majority by a long way. Probably would have made finals if Coffey didn't miss the first 5 or so games.

Casey as mentioned above would be another terrific landing spot.

Any thoughts on Keilor? Had an incredibly stacked roster this past season but didn't make the finals. What gives?

Threatt's team was exciting to say the least! would certainly put bums on seats rolling out a similar team.

Wallan performed well off the back of their big 3 this past year. surprising to see they removed the coach.

Hawthorn men and women

Chelsea was an odd one the Men had just been promoted and the YLM were in finals.
Casey like wise.

Casey could be a great location for a coach with the club and venue having a big goal in mind and potentially the resources to do something great.

Blackburn to me always seems like a sleeping giant, a big junior association, good venues or am I missing something?

Mornington, Chelsea & Casey also advertised some or all of their HC job I believe.

Hey guys, I'm looking to play YL under 23s in Winter season. I live in Paralowie, so Centrals, West, North, Woodville and Norwood aren't all that far away from me.

I just need help choosing which club to play for. I'm a short PG who'll likely play in the lower divisions, which doesn't bother me. Just looking to develop my game, and potentially crack a higher division.
