Will be between the following imo:

- Roos

- Malthouse

- Viney

- Sumich

If they go the last 2, good chance they may get a Rodney Eade as a director of coaching - a role he's happily take if he lost his job at the Dogs.

The club will be pursuing the first 2 intently, though my gut feel is they will end with with Suma - he has been very popular in the past, came very close to the Essendon job in the past, also the Port job. With the way the Eagles have gone this season, his credentials are only increasing.

Sounds left field and now not really possible, but i'd get a Phil Gould to the club if possible. He's be able to promote and reorganise the club in a professional manner - though he's just committed to the Penrith Panthers. His lack of AFL expertise wouldn't be an issue with the role he'd undertake.

    Phil Gould makes Kevin Sheedy and Sam Newman look normal. No bigger moron in Australain Sport.

    Probably won't happen but - how could anyone consider overlooking Malthouse?

    Seriously.

    or Roos. We really dont want another untried coach again do we?

    Seriously.

    I seem to recall people saying the same thing about Sheedy when he was in the running before we took Bailey.

    Yes, going to be some gnashing of teeth when Bailey is reappointed.

    Pointless, just pointless.

    Not just that, what on earth qualifies some of these posters to whittle the list down to just a handful of candidates?

    They must have some amazing insight into the workings of the club, Bailey's performance in his role, and the capabilities of the last candidates standing.

    Considering how thorough the process is that is used to select a head coach these days, I am dumbfounded someone could think they'd know what's best based on reading demonland and articles in the HeraldSun.

    Artie, don't you know that talking sense isn't allowed on this forum as of late?

    Take your intelligent and rational views elsewhere!

    Left field alright !

    He is NRL through and through.

    I'm not sure how he would be able to promote and reorganise the club from NRL experience unlike anyone else in the AFL caper.

    Strange call, don't even want to contemplate it type call. Fastest way for a board to go under type call.

    Paul McNamee anyone ?

    I'd take McCarthy/Eade or Sanderson/Eade.

    I like what i have heard about Sanderson, even as a senior assistant

    Ok Artie we get it, you support Bailey and everything he does.....

    That's fine, your right, but please don't continually [censored] all over what is nothing more that a hypothetical conversation.

    Many in here don't believe Bailey will or should be re-appointed, so a thread about a possible successor is not way out of left field.

    We all have to cope with those that don't agree with us.

    Surely Eddie from who want tobe a millionair is availible? :)

    I'd consider one of these.

    18/55 wins and he is going to be reappointed? Yeah right!

  • Quote

    Phil Gould? That is left field... NRL people and promoting there game and clubs with professionalism?? Really...

    IF we got rid of Baily I would be furious if we went for an untried coach, for that matter I wouldn't be too impressed if we went for an experience coach who hadn't won a premiership.

    My gut feeling says that we will turn this insipid form around with real afl players out there and a renewed confidence. Whether or not that'll be enough for Baily to keep his job.......

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
