Comes into serious calculations now as an experienced coach that is available.

Yes or no for Eade.

I honestly don't know.

There are sides of him that make me say NO, such as finals record. BUt hten, his team had made the Top4 4 for the past 3 or 4 seasons or something, and I don't think they were a great list of players. He isn't scared of going after an older player (could work both ways).

The other thing is that I look at a bloke like Blight, who while at Geelong, he had a good team but couldn't get a premiership with them, but then went to Adelaide and won back-to-back flags. Perhaps Eade could be similar, I'm just not sure.

Explains the way I feel exactly billy. Initially I would definitely think no, but thinking about it he does have some good attributes. I would still perform Malthouse if the impossible can be done, but it just comes back to me not knowing how I feel about Rocket.

Gee Kento, we agree a lot! Will have to catch up for a beer one day!

Malthouse is the obvious number 1 target. But if we can't get him, Eade would have to be in a very small group that would be 2nd preference.

He's actually pretty stiff to get the boot from the Dogs.

They've been average this year, but at the same time, they've had some real injury problems too.

We could do worse...........I'm just not sure the Dogs game style appeared to be up with the modern pressing style.

mmmmm..... beer :) Is it too early??

It is a bit of a worry really, that a little earlier in the season there seemed to be a raft of experienced, senior coaches who would quite likely be available and now they are really a bit thin on the ground. The only reason I still think about Malthouse is because Hird last year came out and said if he were offered the Essendon job he would turn it down. Other than that I can't see who there really is left out of the original wish list. Roos and Matthews will not coach, Clarkson will surely be retained, Malthouse??? and Choco seems to be happy where he is. Next come Eade and Laidley. I really am not sure how I feel about either of them, but essentially I reckon if I'm hesitant, that is probably a sign I'd not be happy with either (not that my opinion matters one iota :lol: ). After that, as far as the "experienced" senior coach we are after, who is left??? None I can think of really. So now we are left looking at Neeld, Sanderson and another untried senior coach. Makes me worry a little, although I still reckon we are a smoky to get MM, no matter how fanciful that opinion may be.

Torn.

Can work with limited resources, but has never experienced premiership success. Roos stepped in at Sydney and they won a flag, and with the Doggies he seemed to have left his chase for mature top ups (e.g.-Hall) too late.

He is however very good tactically.

I'd be prepared to take on Eade, Malthouse or Williams. We need an experienced coach because our young players are clueless when it comes to knowing what it takes to reach the required standard. Whether they can deliver a premiership? Who knows. But prefer to go down that path than another untired coach at this stage.

Huge decision to be made. I really hope Lyon and co. are up to it.

The criticism of Eade is he doesn't delegate, likes to do it on his own. Which is a danger. Also be interesting to see if West is retained given their history.

Solid coach with a fairy mediocre side. The interesting point is that he did his apprenticeship under the guidance of one Dennis Pagan at North. Now that would make for an interesting duo at the dees next year.

If Malthouse isn't available, then Eade now sits as the next best for me.

Also means the Doggies will be looking for a new coach as well... They too may be focusing on MM, perhaps?

Malthouse is a former player and coach at the then Footscray. It would be interesting for him to return after all these years.

Leon Cameron must be the front runner.

I would be happy with Rocket except he has run out of fuel.

Although he has had a shocking year with injuries to his gun players(of which the blame could be attributed to him for too early returns) he has looked spent all year.

If he was invigorated I would change my mind.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
