Possibly a good call.

Could only enhance his reputation, coming to us as we continue our climb up the ladder.

Only problem is that we need to wait until the cats coach is sorted and we'd rather have our backline coach sorted by the time we begin preseason... Which is in about 5 minutes.

Yeah, Sleepy Hollow are giving themselves up until the start of their pre-season to find a coach. Cook said mid November. Although, Bomba has annointed Sanderson as a successor at Geelong and believes he is ready for the senior gig.

Both Gary O'Donnell and Alan Richardson have left the Bombers.

Richardson has apparently already gone to Carlton.

Gary would be a good get and would be able to enhance his reputation with us as we climb the ladder and Bailey has connections at Essendon through having played there.

O'Donnell is one switched on guy.

I used to work with his father and spoke to him reguarly. I'd take him in a heartbeat

I'd prefer Dean Laidley.

As would I.

But I don't think he's keen to accept another senior assistant role.

If he is, get him.

I've always been a Gary O'Donnell fan.

*Also please keep in mind, Brenton Sanderson. If Hinkley gets the gig down 'sleepy',,, he may want out.

just curious, what sort of salary range would an assistant coach be on?

Good question.

Laidley would probably expect to earn more than Bailey did in his first couple of years as coach.

Just a name from out of the blue which ill throw in for the defensive coach.But how about Nathan Bassett.Has taken Norwood from 7th last year to the grand final this year which they only lost by 1 goal.The list was also worse than the one they had last year as the club wasnt aloud to recruit or get any Crows or Power youngsters which they drafted.They lost older experienced players in Kris Massie & Luke Jericho yep made a big leap up the ladder.All the commentators here are saying Crows & power would be mad not to take him & think he will be AFL bound next year or year after.All opposition coaches of the finals side said Norwood played with a defensive set up & zone far superior to anything they had ever seen in the SANFL & said it was AFL standard.Norwood also conceded less goals this year than anyone else in SANFL keeping the years goals against to under 7 per game

There's a thread about Bassett here http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23088

Also on O'Donnell i think it was said on radio that he didn't want to continue in coaching

Todd Viney would be the pertect fit for the demons

If you're making this suggestion because it might help us get Jack Viney, I don't think it's a good call. Fathers shouldn't be coaching sons at this level.

And that Todd only moved to back to Adelaide a couple of years ago, I don't think he'd want to move again anytime soon.

Well he's not getting a Senior Coach role, so he'll have to take whatever he can get if he wants to be an AFL coach.

What do you think of David King? Got burnt in association with Wallace but seems to talk a lot of sense on the radio.

Matthew Lloyd is another one I've been impressed with in the media - is actually prepared to do some research.

Both premiership players.

I think Laidley would be a great consideration too.

Predicting who might make a good coach is pretty much guesswork for mine.

Who here would've guessed that Scott Watters would turn out to be the assistant coach behind one of the best defences in the league???

Hey, John Meesen could easily turn out to be a great coach.

Who'da thunk that one?

I agree ID.

Chris Scott is said to be looking at a role with a club in Melbourne if he doesn't get the top job at Geelong (unlikely).

Very highly rated.

We should make a big play for him to replace Wellman.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
