Writing in the Herald Sun, chief footy writer Mark Robinson has added Crows caretaker Scott Camporeale to the list of contenders for coach of the year.
“As Adelaide put West Coast to the sword in the first quarter at Adelaide Oval on Sunday, with his team leading 8.3 to 0.1, you couldn’t help but consider the incredible journey of the Crows and interim coach Scott Camporeale,” Robbo wrote.
“Camporeale took over a group confused by the death of Phil Walsh. The players questioned life, let alone football and faced unprecedented hurdles.”
Crows caretakers – Scott Camporeale, coach, and John Worsfold, coaching director.
Campo has coached eight games, which is perhaps too small a sample to have him as a contender for coach of the year…
“But perhaps not,” says Robbo.
“He has succeeded when everyone else wondered if he could keep the team together.
“They’ve won six of their past seven and have charged into finals and quite possibly could be the in-form team in the competition.
“From a horror night in June to dreaming in September, it’s been an astonishing performance.”
