Laidley Sacked.

Sleeve

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?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
