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.

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 ?

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.

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

I'd consider one of these.

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.......

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
