Guy McKenna headed to Gold Coast?

Question

It's official, McKenna will be the Inaugural coach of the Gold Coast Football Club. What are your thoughts on it? Who reckons he'll do a good job?

Answer 1

He will be as unsuccessful there as he has been at Collingwood.

Michael Voss knocked it back because it was only a two year appointment. They want some mug in there to do the groundwork & then someone better will be appointed to take over & do the real work.

g*y McKenna is no good as an assistant coach & he certainly wont be any good at the top job.

Answer 2

267 wonderful games mate!

QLD great coming to W.A - voss

W.A great going to QLD - mckenna

He will do well.

good luck!

Answer 3

I think he has been put in there as a stop gap until a real coach is appointed when the real time comes.

Michael Voss saw no benefit in taking it on.

Answer 4

Great appointment, he has done a good appenticeship and is ready to go, what is the length of his contract???

Answer 5

My first reaction was, "Oh no, he's leaving Collingwood!".

But, now I say good on him, this job should be good for his career, and I think he will be a great asset to the new team!

Answer 6

I think he will do very well and good on him he was always one of my favourite Eagles.

Answer 7

If I was to select an all time AFL team I would have no hesitation in selecting McKenna on a half back flank.

However good footballers don't always make good coaches. His term as assistant coach at WCE was cut short by that club. He then went to coach Claremenont in the WAFL, & was not a success at that club either.

Surprisingly he was picked up by Collingwood - mainly due to his old mate, Mick Malthouse, I think. I don't know how he has been going at that club as I make a point of not reading, or listening, to anything about them.

He has been appointed for two years to "develop" the playing squad. Me thinks that's all he'll do at the new club & be replaced by a real coach when crunch time comes.

Answer 8

I dont think he'll do a good job at all
