So that means someone like a James Kelly who's working at Geelong now under Chris Scott might be someone who's very impressive, very smart footy person, really popular.

Could be a chance.

I think someone like Matthew Boyd who's been at Fremantle now at Collingwood under Craig McRae, highly recommend as well.

So there are lots of names.

they don't always have to be the big names that are out there.

Andrew McWalter almost came a bit out of nowhere to be coaching West Coast and I think doing a really good job in a tough situation.

So there are plenty of good assistant coaches out there and I'm sure they won't have to wait too long.

Well, in a way, it's another form of inequality when you talk about the draft where the clubs that are down the bottom aren't attracting the best assistant coaches because the best assistant coaches want to go to the top clubs to get a senior job.

So it would have to be a partial team, wouldn't it?

Which I think players, I heard Tony Modra throughout Gather Round say he played, I think, a whole year with a partial or a couple of seasons with a partial ACL.

So you can...

It's going to be difficult, though, for a guy like him who relies on his agility, Daisy, and zipping in and out of traffic.

But I suppose if he strengthens the knee around the area, give it a go, what's the worst case that can happen?

It actually ruptures and you need the surgery anyway.

So that's maybe his way of thinking.

And players are always trying to find a way to play if they can.

I don't think so, no.

100%.

He was brilliant.

Ten coaches votes, led from the front.
