I raised this earlier in the season. We should go for Clarkson. Offer him everything but the kitchen sink. Malthouse will only be coaching for his pension fund. Roos is OK but I think he's a one trick pony and perhaps not hungry anymore. Clarkson is still young fresh, hungry and proven.

    Wellman has got a much better chance at being a senior coach

    Excellent defensive coach, which is where GF's are won from.

    Yeah good call. I was listening to one of the above names mentioned in "untried" coaches list 2-3 weeks ago ... It was not Todd Viney Or Sean Wellman.

    Basically one of the question was ... What would it take for you to coach club x (x does not equal Melbourne)

    His answer was ... you are only as good as the coaches around you. Team work is essential. I would want the best around me.

    Obvious next question ... Who is the best going round. No restrictions.

    Answer - For the modern game. Wellman was one of the first 2 names out of his mouth.

    I'm of the 'give him one more year' camp now. I reckon we're on track for that. Give him a year, tell him 'finals or bust', and let him rip.

    If he makes finals end of 2012, 2 or 3 year extension depending on how we go there.

    If we haven't got anyone signed by now, we're leaving it a bit late.

    So if we haven't I'd be into giving Dean one more but the benchmark would have to be top 7 minimum... 8th wouldn't cut it for another couple of years, unless there were some incredibly exhilarating performances.

    The trouble is, imo all the experience and top echelon coaches come out this year, if you give Bailey an extension it is because he is the man for the job, we will only get another untried coach at this stage next season,

    This year, Malthouse, Clarkson, Lyon available

    Next year nobody

    Also no coach of note has signed an extension this year because so many are out of contract they can leverage there position when offers and interest come in

    Dean Bailey in his time as coach has :

    - Only beaten two Victorian sides richmond and essendon.

    - Never won interstate expept for at the Gabba and in Darwin.

    Now those are just from my knowledge i might be wrong, i have been in support of Dean Bailey but having realized the above i think he could be in trouble.

    Bailey deserves at least 1 more year IMHO.

    I would love to see him get 10 more at least ... would mean only 1 thing ... many, many premierships. :wub:

    I see Collingwood assistant coach Mark Neeld has been installed as $4 favourite to coach Melbourne next year.

    $4.50 Bailey, $7 Brenton Sanderson, $7.50 Roos, $8.00 Viney, $9.00 Malthouse & Clarkson, $10.00 Goodwin, $11.00 Garry Lyon.

    Of course, the headline? Lyon $11 to coach Dees.

    Thats what I was saying those coaches Will be organizing their next year moves Now.

    I think I'd like Clarkson to come back if we could get him here.

    Surely Sanderson is the best available of all the experienced Assistants out there. He's been with the best club of the last five years, and from all reports the only reason he didn't get the Geelong job was that they wanted to bring in an outside influence to freshen up an older list, which has probably so far been shown to be a good decision. He's coached the defenders for his time at Geelong as well, so he'd bring a defensive influence and hopefully some of Geelong's attacking flair

    Forget the 'one more year' for Bailey - he's had that year this year!

    I'm revising one of my previous posts after seeing last night's interview with Malthouse - based purely on body language etc I suspect he may now be available, and if so, then worth considering.

    I maintain my opinion that Clarkson, Eade and Roos will not be available. I also doubt that Neeld will be available.

    I agree with dee_star that Sanderson is well worth considering.

    • 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.

      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?
