West Coast’s rigorous process to select their next senior coach has whittled the candidates down to three assistants from Victorian clubs.
Three experienced assistant coaches from Victorian clubs remain in the hunt for the West Coast senior coaching position.
Collingwood coach Craig McRae last year with his brains trust of Hayden Skipworth, Brendon Bolton and Justin Leppitsch.While Skipworth and McQualter are earmarked to be interviewed by West Coast’s coach-search panel later this week, King is not expected to be interviewed this week as the Cats prepare for the preliminary final. If the Cats win, his in-depth interview could be further delayed until after the grand final.
McQualter had a lengthy stint as an assistant under Damien Hardwick at Richmond and was the caretaker – and a candidate for the position longer-term – after Hardwick quit in the middle of 2023, but crossed to Melbourne when he was beaten for the position by Adem Yze. He worked as a development coach in his early years with the Tigers, having played with St Kilda in the 2000s.Credit:King was Geelong skipper from 2003-2006 and played in the Cats’ drought-breaking premiership in 2007.
