Whateley · New Defensive Player of the year award! - Alistair Nicholson in the studio | AFL Coaches Association CEO (22.07.26) · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

And so if some of these other names are recognised outside sort of the all-Australian back six, then that's a good thing.

All right.

Whateley · Alistair Nicholson in the studio | AFL Coaches Association CEO (22.07.26) · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

This is your town.

This is your station.

This is Waitley.

Yeah, well, it's always good when there's a new appointment.

And this is slightly unique in that often there's an appointment after some turmoil, but this is quite fresh and pure.

And I think Ken talked about openly he's a coach and what he loves doing, and you could really see the genuineness in it.

And also just, I think, just the ability to have some downtime and step away as well.

You can see he's refreshed.

And so, you know, I think our industry where we can actually allow that to happen is really important.

So you can really see that with Ken on the weekend.

It is, it is.

And obviously Chris Fagan has broken the mould there and will continue to.

So look, I think what it means is just, and it's something we've been talking to the AFL about, is just what is the role of the senior coach has become so all-encompassing.

It's how do we make sure it's designed as well as possible for the future with the balance of football and non-football and

promoting the club but also working with players and attracting players and all that is involved how do we make sure the role just doesn't continually burn out people so they sort of lost to the game and you know i think ken stepping back in is is a good example of that but also then continuing to promote and and give opportunities to younger coaches coming up as well

Yeah, look, I think a couple of things there.

I think, and one of the things we're keen to sort of talk more with our senior coaches about is just the, is there time off, an extra time off that you might get over, say, five years?

Or is there extra time that you take at Christmas annually?
