Sorry doesn't make sense 

Would think Rumba is the best qualified to be the ressies coach/senior assistant, he has experience as an assistant coach with the state 18's and with Subi, not sure Pridda or Skid have had any formal coaching experience or have the required accreditation, but will stand corrected on that. That being said a Sandover and Brownlow medalist and a multiple Naylor medalist would be so valuable as mentors for the mids and forwards.

Mentors or assistants, the same thing????  Surely assistant coaches do not require mentors. Their mentor would surely be the senior coach.

My word is that Armstrong is the midline coach with help from Priddis. Someone else is the forward coach with help from Smith. 

On this- I am very disappointed that Armstrong has retained his spot as I think he doesn’t inspire at all. 

Brad Smith spent a long time in the coaches box at the Eagles after he was forced to retire. Not sure what his role was.

Thanks for your honesty Panetts and your time serving the Perth FC. Now you can enjoy supporting your beloved Sharks. The reserves premiership was a great day but unfortunately wasn't a true reflection of our depth, rather a number of experienced league players winding down on their WAFL career's. I wish you all the best 



 

DD - I agree that reserves premiership wasn’t a true reflection of our depth. However, nor was it as a result of players winding down their careers.   The 3 players you talk of did next to nothing in any of those finals games.  The prelim and GF wins were 100% a team effort coupled with one or two younger players brilliance and some very good coaching.  

Thank you Andrew for your 9 year’s dedication our club, some good players have come through the system and now playing league largely due to your guidance at the lower levels.

Lots of names mentioned their Dazz but a bit confusing as to the nature of their roles.
OK, Barra= President
Priddis, Rumble and Smith = coaching/mentoring roles?
David Mundy= development, coaching, mentoring. Some role on Board?
Ben Cousins= ?? presumably coaching and mentoring
Peter German= Head Coach.
Begs the question - what are we creating here? Hope it won't be too many chiefs and not enough Indians.

Im happy for guys the quality of Priddis and Smith to be involved any way Germsn sees fit..The more successful people the players can get advice off the better.

All of these big “additions” we hear about and yet not one player mentioned. Brady Grey would have been a great start but we must have been asleep again. We could have offered him a senior off field role as well as a key player recruit.
