Straight 6 or 3 and 3?

We are looking for a new coach and the reported offers being bandied around for coaches out of contract at seasons end are in the vicinity of 5-6 years for the same amount in millions of dollars.

Should we be offering the straight six or should we be offering 3 with an option on a further 3 being performance based?

A straight 6 I think for someone like Lyon or Clarkson(now off the table) would be the right call, however the likes of Malthouse or Eade may see it as an early retirement present and not have the same intensity being they are elder statesman.

Would like to know what fellow Demonlanders think?

    5 years for Malthouse or Lyon.

    3 for others.

    No performance triggers.

    To pry someone out of a good gig you must pay more or longer terms. Simple. Don't forget even with our list and it's potential, the structure is pretty shaky and would not be overly comforting for a coach.

    We should swing for the fences and get the gun coach we desperately need.

    What does an option of 3 years mean after the 1st 3 years? Who exercises the option? If it not the Club then its mug clause. Just give him 3 years and negoatiate in the final year for a further term then.

    If it was MM, i agree you would make it 5 years.

    I'd like to see a 3 + 3 term, for anyone. That gives us the options to stay in cycle with Clarkson and others who may be around.

    With our young list growing and maturing we will be in a Much stronger position in 3 Years than Now. And we'll be in more demand, from those wanting in.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
