For a struggling club like North you'd think they might like a coach who was more media-friendly.

Laidley to me seems like trying to interview a cornered dog at times.

Its funny, cos Bailey's demeanor isn't that much different, but I get the sense he's amused by the media & gets a kick out of it.

Yeah this was surprising. He was going at basically 50% win:loss which, all things considered at North, is pretty good going.

For mine, Williams will almost definitely not be a Port next year, would be very, very surprised if they kept him, in light of their erratic performances this year. Harvey could very well go too. I don't really rate him at all.

Anyone see Voss On The Couch last night, basically said that he would love to see Lethal coaching again and that he would be excellent. By the way, Voss is a legend, conducts himself very well, you can see and hear the committment, passion and determination in him and he is a born winner. Will enjoy great success in his coaching career I reckon.

Seemingly both parties happy with the result.

Had lunch today as it happens with a WC supporter.

Woosha going nowhere. Coasters tanking hard.

His goodbye included 'see you in a fortnight - we'll see who wants to lose the most.'

Just heard on Canberra radio that CC has said that he is not interested in the NM or R'mond coaching positions. Excellent! He has real passion for the Dees, and seems to be doing a great job.

I think those clubs would be happy to hear that too.....

If you read Caro's article in the Age, Laidley's cards were marked after the Swans loss last year. It was a slow execution.

And Nathan Buckley will be keen to take a role at a Club with no money, no facilties, no supporters, questionable future in Melbourne. B). Unless Malthouse get a GF berth for the Pies this year, he will not get another contract. Buckley will be at Collingwood next year.

:huh:

Do you know something Rhino or is it just a hunch?

What then for Malthouse?

Agree. Not necessarily that its a given for him to be at Collingwood (although a good chance of it), but he would be nuts to take the NM gig given how highly he seems to be regarded by everyone. He will wait for the right job

What about the one on offer at Punt Rd.

What will be interesting is what Collingwood do

With North needing a Coach for 2010 and the media jumping on the Buckley to North bandwagon i would say Collingwood

will be forced to making a strategic decision soon

Suffice to say that Williams might be getting a little nervous as the fresh crop of coaching talent is starting to become a threat to experienced campaigners

He marked his own cards you mean... Didn't Brayshaw say they had to talk him into staying on after the Swans loss?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
