For mine, Hasler is a great coach but a terrible recruiter and football manager. His best work was at Manly (when Fulton was pulling the recruitment/retention strings) and his first years at Canterbury, where he was handed a shitty squad and revolutionised the way they played to win the MP and make a GF. When asked to take over recruitment, retention and overall football activities, he flopped. In a system like ours, he’d do well.

That said, not my first choice.
He certainly was a great coach, and you’re right in a system like ours he probably couldn’t make the mistakes he did outside of the narrow coaching role. And I joke about it above but he really did implement some very ‘creative’ tactics. Which I’m generally all for - but he then stuck to them way past all reason, when they were obviously detrimental- which is why he’d be way down my list. Tho with the break and a change of responsibilities he might well come up with a really effective set of innovations.

Obviously you want to make an astute choice of coach, and not rush into anything but i'm honestly prepared to try any of the following just to do away with current rise and disintegrate habit under Paul.

Order of preference:
1. Demetriou
2. Bennett
3. Flanagan
4. Madge
5. Barrett
6. Griffin
