No suprise as it was common knowledge he was leaving cos of his son going to Sydney under father/son rules.

who would you want to replace him if we are going for a midfield coach?

Are you serious? Took his team to the prelim a few years in a row, I am quite sure he has a > 50% winning ratio as well. I would happily take Rocket as a line coach (and Scott Watters)

Cicjose · September 05, 2011, 04:32:46 PM

all well and good to get to the prelim but we are aiming for a premiership....

Scott Watters wouldnt be bad

Scott Watters hasnt taken anyone anywhere, he has just been doing what Mick tells him. So how does that make him better than Rocket?

so now you think that a triple premiership coach with Subiaco cant help Fremantle in 2012?

Remember our first coach - Neesham
