AFL: David King and Leigh Montagna join the AFL 360 panel and debate the AFL coaching landscape with West Coast open and Tasmania looming large.
The sacking of Adam Simpson as West Coast’s senior coach is set to be the first of several coaching dominos to fall in the coming years.
And regardless of when their contracts of expire, coaches are expected to have more spotlight on them than ever, given the impending merry-go-round that looks set to take place now that the first domino in Simpson has fallen. “Crystal ball, spit ball for a sec – do Sydney say: ‘We don’t want to lose Dean Cox, can we sort something else out?’” King continued.
Each coach has achieved the ultimate success at their club; albeit Longmire not since 2012, with Scott’s ironically defeating the Swans coach in his most recent flag in 2022. “ Ken Hinkley, the bar is clearly make finals, and then probably a little bit more to see the last year of his contract , and then it looks like Carr takes over after that.
For West Coast’s current coaching vacancy, Nathan Buckley – who hasn’t coached at any level since departing Collingwood in 2021 – was instantly thrown in the spotlight due to his history and profile.Chief Football Writer Mark Robinson seemed much more open to the idea of a fresh face in the role – and even included a current playing veteran as a potential target.
