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.

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?

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    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
