Why are people saying get Laidley????? ARE WE ON DRUGS??? Seriously although he may come across as an intense and angry figure, he did nothing at Nth Melbourne, has no real premiership success to his name ( apart from the 96 flag) he has no other evidence of success to his name, so for me NO WAY!!! We are trying to get a winning culture into our club and he certainly isnt the answer!! We may as always of kept Dean Bailey!!!

My no1 target would be Malthouse, but we have a more realistic chance of getting Eade or Williams for me Eade.

food for thought:

Pick 1: Mick Malthouse

- Flags at Richmond in the 70's

- Coached Bulldogs in finals in the mid 1980's

- 92 and 94 flags for West Coast

- Grand final appearance in 2002 and 2003

- Collingwood premiership in 2010

Pick 2: Rodney Eade

- Played at a strong Hawthorn team in the 80's

- played in the 83, and 86 flags possible 88 too

- got the swans who were a basket case in to 90's to finals plus and grand final in 1996

- Had limited rescoures at Dogs but was able to be a figure head but was able to get them to 3 successive Preliminary finals

Pick 3: Mark Williams

- Played at strong Collingwood team through 80's

- Premiership player in 1990

- Coached Port to numerous finals

- Port 2004 flag.

Well said!

I got laughed at when I mentioned Pagan - at least he has 2 flags next to his name and is a ruthless coach. Still coaches the Under 18's too from what I can see.

I would love Clarkson, but he wont leave Hawthorn/ he would be mad too anyway. They still have a legit chance to win a flag in the nxt couple of years. Why would you????

Posted

I don't think he necessarily will leave, but I'd still go at him, hammer and tongs.

Mick's only put Neeld's name forward for Adelaide, so he can snatch the Melbourne job himself.

What is currently our biggest issue, to me it is hardness at the footy, when the game is on our terms which I believe free flowing with minimal contested footy we look like a very good side. Make the game about contested footy and we get opened up. Two coaches that are mentioned Eade and Williams look at the way the teams they have coached played, very similar to us at the moment, free flowing high scoring rather than a defensive team. Both these guys are wrong for our club and will not give our team the hard edge we need.

Eade this year hasn't been able to implement the press with the dogs and that is why they sit below us on the ladder. Williams lost the plot at Port and I wouldn't have him.

To me no point having an experienced coach if they can't bring what we need to the table.

Take out Eade and replace him with Clarkson at 2.

+1. Has Eade ever achieved anything of note, apart from failing to win a flag for the bulldogs three years in a row? Also (I've said this so much I feel like I'm taking crazy pills), didn't Eade's more experienced and talented side lose by 120 points in Perth earlier this year? Bailey would've been sacked after the Eagles game if we had lost by that much, and our side is marginally older than the Suns.

Dogs were finished at the end of last year/ this year they lost Johnson, Akermanis, Eagleton, Welsh, Hall, Montgomery, Harbrow. ( Hall there missing link came in a year too late) Plus the like of Cooney Lake and Cross have hardly played this year.

The thing many need to keep in mind is that Malthouse and his management will offically exnay any idea. They have to for th emoment. Micks job is to coach Collingwood. Thats his priority and focus. On the quiet he might be open to be sounded out but he cant be seen to be doing so, and rightly so . reverse positions. If we were teh filth wed want the coach to be doing his job and worrying about his club and job...not the next one.

I dont see Eade as any answer to Melbourne. Rocket gets them up a bit but never over the line. Why would we bother. Clarko aint going nowhere I think..

Posted

Anyone but Eade, he doesn't have the goods.

Malthouse is a chance.

Why not Clarkson? He would get to work with Viney again inherit a young list with potential and return to the club.

The Dawks window is closing and we will offfer a long term deal which would be more attractive than any offer from the Dawks.

5 years versus a likely 2 with an option for an extra year.

Definately NOT Eade or Laidley .

As noted previously , couldn't get their own clubs over the line or over their own mental hurdles .

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
