The recent strategy post the disastrous Kalezić, of appointing youngest Aussie coaches in their first head ALM coaching role, has worked out pretty well. Rudan, Talay & now Italiano the last 6 seasons. Making finals in 5 of those 6 seasons, and 7th in the other season. Two of those seasons mostly no home games due to Covid.
But yes you appoint an Australian coach, and he's successful it's natural at some point he may wish to return across the Tasman. Too quick with Marko. After 4 seasons about the right time with Uffie.
Already you can sense that the defence guru Adam Griffiths is maybe a potential successor to Chiefy. That's if Griffiths hangs around long enough. Otherwise Greenacre now has the right badges from memory. Temple could develop as an option. But no point fretting with these Chiefy leaving rumours which will now be regular thing, as long as he stays at the Nix.
