If my old man’s memory is correct, Roly is Fremantle’s first head coach to have previous experience in that role at another club. He is probably our longest serving coach too. I guess taking Freo to a GF and a top of the ladder position counts for something. But are those results counting too much? The knock on him when he crossed from the Saints was that he doesn’t develop young players. Looks to me like that still holds true. So what if he finishes up this year or next?
Q: What’s your point, caller?
A: Many of the suggested replacements would be first time head coaches unless we look at someone like Ratten. Does is matter if Freo were to go for a first timer?
