Sanderson, I believe, would have links to Bailey & Mahoney from their time at Port.

Would be a handy get.

SEN are saying that Scott has got the job

I wonder if the early decision on C. Scott will disadvantage the Dees if they have any interest in Sanderson, ie. with the full complement of staff currently in China. I guess there's always electronic communication, if they want to touch base with him.

There are also telephones I believe

I don't think the FD would put all their eggs in the one basket, escpecially when that basket had a 1in 3 chance of becoming the head coach at Geelong.

We'll find someone, & if we don't, I'll make myself available.

Anyone got Schwabby's email address..?

Can we go with

Coach - Bailey

Development - Viney (Surely to have a major influence)

Forward - Mahoney

Midfield - West

Back - Mark Williams

Do we really need an additional coach?

What is Mark Williams current role? Somebody correct me if he isnt already an assistant please.

The best I can put together is that he was in 2010 - part midfield coach and part dev coach, considering he wasn't mentioned in the club press release concerning the dev side, he is either fired or a dedicated mid coach which would mean we have two midfield coaches.

I think your structure could work.

It could, but we wouldn't have had all those guys PLUS Wellman if it wasn't needed or at least beneficial.

To just do a reshuffle and make do, would be a step backwards imho.

If the number of personnel won you flags, the magpies would have won the last ten.

Maybe West needed Williams' assistance for various reasons, maybe we felt obliged to have him help West for various reasons, and maybe he doesn't need that help anymore.

The more voices barking at you, the more confused you get.

But that is just me.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think that would be the case.

We will need to bring in someone to fill a vacancy, whether there is a reshuffle and that vacancy is further down the chain I do not know.

I don't think it's a case of having too many voices at all.

It's looks like Gary O'Donnell has signed on to return to the Lions as an assistant coach.

Looks like we won't be getting him.

I hope we make a big run at Sanderson, but either way I'm sure the club will have this covered.

I think there are a few, from memory.

Mark Robinson in his article says nothing alluding to where Sando would go, except for the very last sentence when he says

In an off-season of extraordinary coaching change, Sanderson's life has turned a sharp left. It remains to be seen if that road leads him to the Westpac Centre.

probably just filling his collingwood quota though.

Cats website doesn't specify the roles of any of the assistant coaches, but a mate who is a diehard cats fan tells me he's 95% sure Sanderson is the backline coach.

NB. Sanderson's one year as a development coach in 2006 at the power was Bailey's last year there also.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Mahoney was there that year too.

Re: other clubs with positions to fill...

- Cats will need to fill the spot vacated by McCartney, though that is a development role (& it's not something that will affect Sanderson's decision).

- I also recall reading that Port were having trouble filling a few positions and Camporeale turned them down for Adelaide just last week.

- Not sure about the situation at the GC Suns, but I'd imagine they'd have filled their coaching positions well & truly by now.

- GWS will likely be looking to add assistants, much the same as Hinkley was with GC Suns this year.

- Laidley and Choco Williams still don't have jobs yet.

A wise call on Sanderson IMO. Being that there are some familiarities between our style and Geelong, he and MFC would have reason to feel he could fit in quite comfortably.

Working together previously as you suggested below is another positive. What's the bet he ends up with GWS?

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
