I imagine our aim is to have people who will stay long term in the role and help build the culture we are after. I don't think we should bring in ex players for the sake of it, but I can't see much wrong with the appointments.
Bruce is inexperienced in the role for sure, almost has a bachelor of business and has got an award for academic excellence during it, has experience on the PFA board. He is a risk, but a very calculated one. He has the football experience, the love of the club and town and as an adopted south australian, comes without many of the baggage in terms of trying to build relationships with local footballing people.
Eugene is vastly experienced, a club legend and has worked with some great goalkeeping coaches. Yes it is his first goalkeeping coaching role, but he has the knowledge and passion required.
As for Veart, he is the most qualified of them all, assistance with the Australian U20s and coach of the SA NTC. This is the next logically step for his career.
All three could be long term members of the staff and I am happy with all 3. There is an international senior coach and he is bringing in an international assistant coach. The last thing you want is to have a whole international team come in and once the head coach leaves, you lose them all.
Of course this is just my own view
