With Ross Lyon staying at St. Kilda I reckon it leaves us with the following to chase.

Mick Malthouse

Dean Laidley

Rodney Eade

Mark Neeld

Scott Burns

Brenton Sanderson

Ken Hinkley

Alan Richardson

Peter Sumich

Leon Cameron

Neil Craig

Mark Williams (if available)

Fingers crossed we can land Malthouse, otherwise I'd be after either Laidley or Burns.

Any other options I haven't listed?

What's everyone's preference?

Edit: Added Williams & Craig.

Eade- Yes

Laidley- Maybe

Malthouse- Yes

Burns- No

Sanderson- No

Hinkley- No

Sumich- No

Neeld- Maybe

Richardson- No

I reckon we need to throw the kitchen sink and everything else at Bomber Thompson.

I'd say that's a longer shot than malthouse.

Now that would be a big fish.

Don't think anyone in the footy world would see that happening!

Mark Williams should be on that list. Despite his insanity and penchant for erratic and disruptive behaviour, I think he'll be looked at. Premiership coach with a modest list.

Didn't he rule himself out around the same time Paul Roos did?

He would surely give the fD a shake up.

And let's not kid ourselves. It can't get any worse? Can it?

Won a premiership at an under resourced club, not that long ago. I remember the tie noose interpretaton like it was yesterday lol!

But could we afford to keep him supplied with gourmet sangers on match day??!


Even though I'm not for it, Neil Craig is still out there. My preference is Malthouse or Sanderson.

I think they will look at Mark Williams and he should be on this list.

Where's the Brian Royal option ?

surely a joke?

Find ourselves an interim coach for next year, having Mick signed and locked in for 2013. Mick could "advise" from the sidelines. But no Buckley-type arrangements where 2 coaches want/expect the one job. Heck, I'd do it for the year and happily give over to Mick. Seriously, benefit for someone like Todd would be an extra year's experience of coaching senior level, with the added bonus of being entrusted to begin developing Mick's plan.

Eddie might even get p***ed off and cut Mick loose early :)

Added Williams & Craig to the list. No Brian Royal sorry....

big fish indeed.....he looks like a snapper

Interesting report on 3AW from Gerard about "McClardy seen in Perth with Burns and Schwab seen with Craig" being a dynamic duo. Burns coach, Craig Snr Assistant. Fine by me....we get great sport science, elite sport credentials and a bloke that earnt every game, worked under malthouse and worsfold.

If Ross Lyon is truly gone, then I would be happy with that combination. Let's just get the right person or combination and let the club move forward.

How do you know Ross Lyon is staying at St.Kilda??

Until its announced, i very much doubt it

Burns is a risk, but who knows, he could be the next big coach....


Is there any actual confirmation that Ross has signed with StKilda?

Still can't find confirmation about Lyon. Thought HUN boys would be all over it.

Happy with Neeld and Laidley combination.

A good listing to look at.

Being realistic (and assuming Ross Lyon stays at St Kilda as you say) and of course IMO only:

MM is most likely not available

DL is an excellent match day coach, but overall not an option

Eade has been ruled out by Garry Lyon I believe

Neeld has good PR but is really just another assistant

Burns may be OK, I'm not sure

Sanderson has an excellent pedigree including two premierships

Hinkley's been around a while

Richardson - don't know anything

Sumich just an assistant

Cameron just an assistant

Craig a good mentor perhaps

Williams no way

Hence if MFC decides against an experienced coach, or can't get one, Sanderson is the quiet achiever of the group.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
