So let's assume the people that say they are not interested or available are exactly that.

Therefore eliminating the pipe dreams on the 'potential coaches' thread.

If it came to these choices, what's your preference?

Let the flood gates open!

 

Disagree. I still don't think Malthouse is out of reach. Of course he won't say he's interested in coaching a different club next year while trying to win a premiership with Collingwood now.

+1

Of the list that was provided I said Laidley as I think he's a very smart and initiative coach who got some good results with an ordinary North list. Also wont be affraid to give the players a good rev when needed.

But I still think Malthouse is more then possible.

 

I would love to see Melbourne have a real look at Brenton Sanderson. Coming from Geelong he knows success and has been close to a senior job a couple of times. We have seen how both Scotts have brought youth and excitement to their respective clubs. Melbourne need new blood with new ideas.

Understood. But I think it would be a pretty boring poll if I included Malthouse.


Id be ok with Matthews, if hes still got it.......Malthouse maybe, he may give it away if he wins back to back flags. If however the pies lose the flag would be very interesting.....He may just want to have another crack.

Fair call.

I'd love Mathews to do it but he won't therefore either Choco or Laidley preferably Choco.

 

Laidley has unfinished business at the top of the AFL ladder... But i also like the look of Gary Ayres Port Melbounre's coach, he had some great results there.

If, we can't get Matthews to agree to Coach, maybe he would be Director to Brenton Sanderson, or a 'Harley' type. Or, maybe Harley would also assist?

Brenton Sanderson:

Adelaide: 6 games, 4 goals

Collingwood: 4 games, 1 goal

Geelong: 199 games, 29 goals

Geelong: Asst Coach 2007- Premiership Year

Port Adel: Asst Coach 2006


I thought this was meant to be realistic?

How then have 10 idiots voted for Matthews??

And Malthouse isn't even an option!

I'm throwing in with Viney. Outside of Clarkson and Malthouse the alternatives don't get me excited at all.

I'd be happy with two years of Todd teaching these kids the meaning of hard, contested 'bleed-for-the-jumper' footy.

As mentioned, I am assuming those that aren't available, really aren't available.ie Malthouse

Matthews was being tossed around quite a bit and ther'e no contracts/agreements preventing him from doing the job.

He didn't really say that, because it hasn't been offered to him. He merely talked about his 'tenure' for the 5 weeks. Have a watch of his press conference again from last week. His unwillingness to coach next year is hugely unconvincing for mine. My preferred coach.....TODD VINEY. Experienced coach talk aside, he's just what we need.


Voted Lethal, mainly because I didn't like the others, especially Laidley.

My view on it is that we need someone who is respected from the moment they walk through the door. I have no doubt our senior players will go to a different level if this were the case. This would be someone who, while the players may feel slightly intimidated by, has a decent coaching record and a hostory of getting every ounce of goodness out of his team. Laidley DOES NOT meet this criteria. It's about creating a culture, or perhaps more accurately, changing the culture (and attitudes of some players).

There are a select few that would be able to walk in to a Club, and have the players busting their gut to earn the respect of the coach. That's what this team need to go forward. A "rookie" coach (Sanderson, Neeld, etc) would spend the first 12 months trying to earn the respect of the players, which is not where we need to be for the next few seasons.

I thought this was meant to be realistic?

Yeah how ridiculous to vote for a four time premiership coach who is one of the hardest blokes to have played / coached. Why would we possibly want someone like that ?

however he does not want the job RR

I'm not sure about that OldDee.

Get Brett Kirk down there as well and perhaps a very smart footy brain like Brendan Mcartney from Geelong (who I think Tweed Pig suggested).

Viney/Kirk/Mcartney

This club needs a change of culture and it needs tough, inspirational men to instill it.

Edited by Range Rover

Dean Wallis.

Get him back as head coach.

Bloke will coach premierships.

You mean Sean Wellman?

Wallis went from Freo to Ess.

You seem rather certain of a Premiership coach you don't know the name of...

Funny...

I know nothing is cast in concrete RR.

But the guy has said on National TV "He is not interested beyond his caretaker roll till the end of this season"

In the last week I have seen nothing to change that view.

Only a fool would rule out our best candidate without even asking him.

Whomever the coach turns out to be I can only hope a somewhat more no nonsense , less holistic approach is taken. I cant help but feel some players have had too long a leash and far to much largesse . It became all too cosy and predicatable. Im happy for anyone who can knock a real sense of purpose with urgency into this team

It doesnt have to be frire and brimstone....just very fair dinkum ;)

Scott Watters name is one i reckon could get mentioned . Did very well with Subiaco and in his second year at Collingwood as an assistant . Seems to have big wraps...

If that is what he said word for word old dee, he has left the door ajar.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
