    Well, there you go.

    Mark Thompson is not going to Essendon, but might not coach Geelong next season.

    Suffering from burn out apparently after 11 years as a senior coach.

    Wow!!! Is that so....I thought he was struggling a bit all this year..He was always cranky. Bad Blood still lingering after 2008 me suspects. The Handbags will regret this one.

    This is crazy..Hird, Wellman and now Thompson...

    Not forgetting the 1.2 mil payout to Knights..

    Hird..You would think at least 1 mil a year over 4..4mill

    Thompson?

    Wellman..

    All in all.. ALOT of spending! .............................

    Which is exactly why there will never be a level playing field in the AFL with the likes of Essendon, Collingwood and Carlton having the big $s........ but I'd still prefer to do it the Melbourne way. The taste of victory, when it comes, will be so much sweeter!

    Gee, I hope for your sake the Hird/Thompson combo doesn't actually work out to be a success, cos you'll have to get used to hearing alot more about Essendon if that's the case.

    I don't know if all of this will work out, but at least it's a positive move from my club.

    Nothing personal at all Ash, but I hear enough crap about your club as it is. Will be interested to see what happens with Mark Williams, Dean Laidley, Alan Richardson - have these 3 just been taken along for a ride and further, Matt Knights shafted once David had confirmed Hird's intentions?

    I am sure you are all excited about Hird's appointment. It may work, it may not, but there is a very very large percentage of playing greats that just cannot bring that 'golden' touch to the coaches box, especially so at their club of origin. These 'returning of prodigal sons' etc rarely work as one might dream.

    The odds are in my favor. Good luck to you though.

    I cannot say the same for your football club, sorry. B)

    I agree, just because you've been a great/successful player doesn't necesarily mean you'll be a great/successful coach. If that were so expect to see Buckley, Voss and then Hird win flags in the next couple of years. Just get every club's champion player to coach their team and then they can take it in turns to deliver the goods providing some of them can get 16 year contracts.....

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
