|
Who will they pick to mentor Nathan. Mark Williams I understand is one of the candidates. I would like to know other people's candidate ideas?

| Why would you need a paid mentor? I have no doubt that Buckley could call up an army of top AFL ex coaches, media commentators and ex players who would all have specialist knowledge. What a waste of money. |

| Buckley already has a mentor - his father who is a football coach. And the best part about it is that his father comes free of charge to the Collingwood football club. |

If Buckley wants a mentor then Buckley finds and pays for a mentor himself.
The club need to find and pay for quality assistant coaches and at present we've taken a soft approach to addressing it by reappointing Harvey, Lockyer and Rocca.
P.S-Buckley has already had a personal mentor in Trevor Hendy.

If providing Nathan a personal butler would help us win the next premiership, I'd be down with it.
Zuckerberg, Gates and Branson all have mentors and it turned out ok for them, |

It's actually a very standard business practice these days. With more and more companies starting to employ "Coaches" to coach the managers at all levels.
I see this as being a very similar role to that, where you have someone who is there to work with Bucks and the Assistant Coaches as a group and individually to help them refine their role/practice as a Coach.
I wouldn't think a "Director of Coaching" would be the best role, but more as a "Coaching Coach" if you like. I think that's the support they will need. |

| My understanding was that the role will be quite like the traditional 'chairman of selectors' position, sitting on the match committee. Sounds a reasonable to me. |

In business it's more like having senior people act as a mentor to others with potential in my experience, than actually employing people to do it.
I'd be surprised if Bucks didn't already have a mentor considering all the leadership training he's been through, however having someone experienced and the right fit in a director of coaching role would help.
IIRC that was what eade was supposed to do before he shot through. The revolving door in the football Director role clearly hasn't helped.

Whoever it is needs to stop Naf picking his favourites.

A close relative of mine had her own company and specialised in executive coaching. She is now retired but 12 years ago when active in the role she had enumeration well over $1k per day. She was consistently employed by big name companies and the vast majority of the people she worked with were CEOs and senior executives.

Choco is a loose cannon, sacked by the tiggers, id prefer Gary Ayers, if he could be enticed away from Port Melb.

| Could Ayres do both? He doesn't need to be in the Box on match days. |

| ^^^ According to a number of folk on here, the coach has no influence on match-day, so perhaps he could coach us, as well, without interfering with his Port Melbourne duties? Just a thought. |

I'd prefer it if Gary Ayres picked the team each week and left Nathan Buckley sit by himself in the coaches box on match day. |
