Okay, yes, it's a more typical rumour of the 'I've heard' variety. But the man involved makes it all the more interesting.

Bomber wants back into a senior coaching gig.

(Related point - is it about time we just had a coaching megathread along the same lines of the TS megathread?)

I reckon they should at least try and get him. Anyway the blokes a jet not a bomber and a thorough gentleman. If we did get him we'd have to fix up our football department like they did down here in Geeeelong.

Not to many premiership let alone dual premiership coaches would be "overrated". Bomber started at Cats in 2000, finals that season then missed finals 3 years in a row. Finals in 04, 05. Missed finals in 06 and had the "review".07 flag, 2nd in 08 and flag in 09... Looks pretty good comapred to ANYTHING we have had in the last 60+ seasons....

As an aside:

Scarlett drafted in 97. Wojcinski in 98. 99 was insane for them (in order): Corey, Spriggs, Bray, Foster, Chapman, Ling, Enright.

Barry Stoneham retired at the end of 2000... Mooney came to the club in 2000 from North. Josh Hunt and Max Rooke drafted in 2000.

2001 was another monster draft for them (in order): Bartel, James Kelly, Charlie Gardner, Steve Johnson, Garry Ablett (FS), Henry Playfair ....

Thanks to Footy wire for the details too.

i just fed this into the Langley supercomputer, and you have omitted Norm Smith's six premierships.

I'm rather keen on the "if Carlton lose to Essendon Malthouse will coach Carlton in 2012, but if Carlton beat Essendon, Malthouse will coach Melbourne in 2012" rumour.

If it's true: go Blues!

I thought I may as well add to the rumours. I was out with a mate of mine last week who Is the media manager of an AFL club and he had heard through a couple of people that Ross Lyon Is strongly considering the Dees offer.

It wouldn't surprise me to see James Hird step aside for Bomber Thompson.

That is NOT a silly suggestion --I've heard that Tom Hafey & John Northey are also rumoured to apply if Bomber does.

Looks like Ross Lyon has told the Saints players he won't be coaching us.

"He addressed it straight after and told us it was not true - we front up to all those things in the media so there is no grey area," Blake said.

"He was forthright in the commitment to the club."

Might be lying, but you don't gain Lyon's reputation with stunts like that.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

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. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
