    Not long retired, and was well regarded at the saints as having a good football brain.

    We could do a lot worse.

    A great Idea & a great footy person I suspect.

    Stkilda should have kept him on this year. I suspect he could have been handy & maybe freed up one defender who might have been useful up forward.

    I'm open to this. We do have a vacancy.

    Am assuming that he would replace Sean Wellman yes as backline couch, does sound like a good option, obviously no others have been thrown around yet so the football department may be all over the situation allready

    If the club throws a blank check at anyone then our football department is neglegent.

    Is SOS contracted to anyone now the GF is over??? If he is free then yes go all out. That Boy knows defence and attack.

    i thought he was heading back to Lygon St.

    A great choice if we picked him up.

    SOS left the Saints because of burnout and because he has taken up a job in list management with GWS.

    Definitely worth chasing if he was attainable, but he isn't at this stage.

    Aah it was GWS i knew it was somewhere!! Everybody is heading up North, thanks ever so much AFL for setting up these 2 soulless Cash Cows.

    I hope they are so universally HATED down here for Generations. It is going to be so hard to win Flags now, and the supporters up there will never really care....ie Melbourne Storm.

    Hudghton would appear to be a terrific prospect .... but he has wanted to keep his building business going so far - and he may not want a full-time coaching career.I'd certainly be talking to him

    Gary O'Donnell is now available. Forget his time at Essendon - he was part of Brisbanes coaching panel for a while. Would have to be worth consideration

    No thanks, not if he was Essendon's backline coach.

    No mention of Dean Laidley?????

    Fair enough. You have my attention. Any interest there ID ?

    Even if he was - I wouldn't discount him. If the senior coach ( Knights) didn't want to develop defensive skills , the backline coach was on a hiding to nothing.

    Laidley? - not sure he'd be interested in being straight backline coach

    There'd have to be wouldn't there?? I know he's desperately keen to continue coaching AFL. There are no senior roles available that he's going to get. The next stop is for him to look at being a senior assistant. We'd have to at least be sounding him out I'd imagine.

    I'm interested sure. I was just poking you to see if you knew of anything concrete. ;)

    Whilst we all have thoughts on whom should replace Wellman- it is a mighty important decision by our FD. We have had a great defence orchestrated and developed by Wellman and now has become the one of the best backline in the AFL. We need to continue down this path. With the promise of our mdfielders the coaching of this area is critical to our future wishes for premiership glory. Lastly our forward structure of having players such as Petterd, Bate, Jetta and Maric fighting for a spot along with Green, Dunn,Watts, Davey, Wonaeamirri along with the development of Gawn and Fitzpatrick and the probability of getting Hale brings me to the point that maybe we should gain a specialist forward coach such as John Barker to our fold to instrument a similar position to Wellman and our current backline .This also would allow us to go after a part time defensive specialist coach such as Max.

    • 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.
