The Northern Blues Football Club can confirm Jack Anthony as well as members of the Blues coaching staff will not return to the club in 2015.
As the club conducted player interviews with it’s entire list at the conclusion of the 2014 season, Jack signalled his intentions to move to the Gold Coast for lifestyle reasons.
No downside there IMO.
Don't we pay for the blues coaches down there? LOL
Plenty of room for Brendan McCarthy to come in !!

Webster should have been one of them going....

We need to get a good coach for the NB's who is on the same wavelength as MM. Webster might be a good bloke gut he just doesn't cut it I reckon.
Well, the NBs really struggle to retain players. So losing Jack Anthony is no big surprise. Can we convince the NBs to actually spend some money?
It also looking like the coaching ranks are available to fill. Any takers?
To be honest, I would be moving on Webster. He may have ability to develop players, I can't know that. However, he just doesn't inspire his charges. I really would like to see someone who really does help the get over the line.

Webster was the accidental coach when that older fella Hyde resigned prematurely wasn't he? Need a standalone VFL side so bad.

Is Guy McKenna still looking for a gig? Would be perfect working as a development coach for us.
MM is not into signing potential coaching replacements, blokes how might replace him down the road. Because he's been down there, he knows that road, he knows exactly where it ends, and we know that is not where he wants to be! ;)

Guy wouldn't take his mate's job. They've worked together before and the chance of Guy getting a senior gig anytime soon is low.

Is anyone on the same wavelength as MM?

Well you sure aint PI2C! ;) :D

Guilty as charged. :))
Mick Malthouse has over the years groomed a number o AFL coaches.
I have a feeling that Buckley was an important acquisition for the success of the Collingwood's premiership.
The game is changing so fast that a coach needs the insights of those who learn in under the packs.
It is important that coaching staff selection is successful. Hope Mick has his say!
Is Brock smart enough to play with NB and be on the coaching staff?
It is always with great angst that a club decides to delist.
We recruit great young men, they try hard, we want them to succeed and hope can live on and on...!
Last year we moved-on the following. I checked to see how they flourised in 2014:
* Marcus Davies Port Melbourne, back to Tas for 2015
* Luke Mitchell North Adelaide ...?
* Patrick McCarthy, Glenelg .....?
* Rhys O’Keeffe, North Adelaide ......?
* Frazer Dale South Adelaide .....?
* Andrew Collins back home to Bridgewater, Bendigo
None have really distinguished themselves in 2014.
Of course there when hopes are dashed, they might dip the next year. But in fact they did not show great flourish in their time with Carlton.
I think we remain in Hope too long.
Luke and Patrick were two talls picked up as rather late picks. Great blokes but there is little evidence that they were great picks.
I hope we prune hard this year. I think the following might feel lucky to be with the Blues in 2015: Watson, Mitch, Brock, Armfield, Ellard, Bell and Graham
