I'm ok with Williams coaching just have a problem with the word process which is something that Mr Summers kept referring to in his press conference. It appears the process was a thing in business that we adhere to that sounds all nice and furry but at the end of the day we'll decide whether to adhere to it or not.We'll use process when and if it suits us.Why have i read through the media that we have chosen not to approach at least 4 guys, is the media choosing to say that or are the selection panel legit.Can we just cut to the chase and be honest one way or another as our credibility has been shot to pieces in recent times and setting up a coaching selection panel makes it look all official but we don't interview all worthy available suitors.Turn It Up.

So why has nobody given him a senior gig since?
He's been waiting for the planets to align over Seaford

A real footy brain, who has done it before, and will immediately command respect from both the veterans and the kids...
For me his coaching career is chequered at best,
many would argue that as foundation coach of a new born interstate club, a premiership was always going to happen,
and then the extremely quick turn around into a record breaking GF defeat against geelong
A footy brain that commanded respect - Watters had that (my belief & expectations - so no point arguing the point)
So the question no one seems to be asking (given the shape of our list) is why GWS with a young side & a dearth of quality kids on board - why did they not want him?

For mine our credibility would be further 'shot to pieces' if we weren't seen to use a process. You can follow a process but still have a preferred candidate. As long as the preferred candidate is known to the majority of the selection panel it's very unlikely that they will be displaced.

Pretty sure they did but Sheedy wanted to do an extra year and GWS decided to keep him for that extra year so Williams said see you later.

He bailed on GWS, as without much likelyhood for improvement in year 2, it was better marketing, strategy wise to give Sheedy another go in the hot seat, as the face, although it seemed Williams was the real coach.. He left to Richmond, GWS didn't cut him..
Furthermore, he wasn't the Port Power foundation coach... John Cahill was, Williams took over after 2 seasons... 274 matches at over 55% is a fantastic record... Without the draft concessions and financial security the current newbies have...
