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

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

    He's the 1 Eye'd, prefer!

    Malthouse should be the top priority & I hear they are trying as hard as they can.... if he can't be convinced then I would go for Choco !

    Malthouse is obviously no.1, but he will come with baggage in the form of us likely having to pay a lot for him and possibly contract breaches.

    Failing that we should move to get Neil Craig as a mentor with either Neeld, Sanderson, or Burns.

    Todd with Eade as senior assistant would be fantastic in my opinion.

    Me too.

    Media seems to have gone very cold in Sanderson this year.

    Hinkley too, for that matter.

    It's all about Neeld and Scott Burns these days.

  • Quote

    I remember reading that Neeld might be a good choice, provided we don't get Malthouse, as he's very much aquainted with the playing style of Collingwood...duh. But surely he might be a good choice? and surely a lot more attainable?

    The Burns/Criag combination does sounds pretty good to me on the basis that we're unable to land Malthouse or R. Lyon.

    It's odd, apart from channel 10 no one else seems to be running with R. Lyon to definatly stay with the Saints next year?

  • Quote

    Me too.

    And me. All of sudden there's a lot of love for assistant coaches....Neeld, Burns. Todd Viney was an assistant/midfield coach to a premiership team at Hawthorn. As assistant coaches go, he is way ahead of the bunch IMO. He is a hard, competitive bastard who was a captain of this club and played 250 plus games without superstar talent. Put an experienced coach behind him a la Craig or Eade, and away we go.

  • Quote

    Do nothing for three weeks, grab a coffee with Malthouse and ask him whether he would like a chance to go out on his terms rather than Eddie's.

    Those exact words will enrage the egomanical bastard and he will agree there and then.

    A lot of comments here on assistants are coming from media sources - do some googling on each of the names being thrown around - the results may surprise and provide better information on who has the better background to step up to a senior position.

  • Quote

    I'm sure the club is in constant contact with Malthouse's management and is well aware of his intent to coach or not.

    Who's left IMO if Lyon is a clear no, we know Clarkson is a no, MM I'm sure the club knows whether this is a yes no or maybe, lets take it as a no. We then move onto the assistants as IMO the other experienced coaches are no good. I would love to get Gavin Brown.

  • Quote

    Ross Lyon - a very remote possibilit to leave the saints, but one we could generate much hype & interest about, to deflect attention on Malthouse during finals, and give a securtiy blanket to opposition teams searching for a new coach, so they don't rush to snap up the best assistants if we need to resort to them.

    Whether intentional or not, it has worked out for us.

    That's not to say I'd be unhappy with Lyon, but considering his character, I think he was always a long shot to leave.

    Totally agree. Our best bet is by stroking his ego. Maybe throw in that we haven't won a flag in nearly 50 years, the person who brings the next one will be instantly immortalised, etc could surely do no harm in alluring him over.

    DD do you really think that the MFC have not had contact with him or his management long before now!

    They would know exactly what he wants to do in 2012.

    If it is join the MFC then that has to wait until 3rd October at the earliest.

    If he does not we will have a coach announced in the next couple of weeks IMO.

    Lyon

    Sanderson

    Viney

    Neeld

    Eade

    These are the only options as far as I'm concerned.

    I can't believe people keep banging on about MM. Not only will he not be avabilable next year but I reckon health wise his days a senior coach are numbered.

    • 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.
