Part time assistant at the pies this year. I think we should go after him. Thoughts?

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

why should we not try to secure the backmen of the century whos defensive coaching track record is second to none?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
