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.

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?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
