Sacking Coaches

Any AFL team that doesn't make the GF should sack their Coach. Clearly according to many that is the sign of failure in a Coach. That way we can get 16 new coaches each year. Think of the headlines. Think of the threads on Demonland and all other boards. We could knock all other sports off the front pages. The only problem I see, is that some will agree with me.

    Sometimes winning the grand final could be seen as failure too. Sack all 17.

    And sacked coaches should only be replaced by experieced premiership AFL coaches who breathe fire.

    And coach sharing may have be enforced so a ageing Leigh Matthews may have to coach two teams...

    He will be so (yawn) sweepy...

    Of the 18 teams next year, 7 will have new coaches.

    Ironically, the bottom three teams from this year will all have the same coach!

    Yes, Matty McKvoss.

    Great multitasker!

    And of the top 8, only three have an experienced premiership-winning coach (Malthouse, Clarkson, Worsfold). The other five have coaches who had never previously had a senior role before becoming coach of their current club (Scott, Ratten, Lyon, Hird, Longmire). Three of them are in their first year.

    No that can not be right untried coaches are no good and should never get a gig. and that Clarkson and Worsfold are both at there first club.

    So that means Malthouse Claekson and Worsfold must coach six clubs each next year.

    UNKNOWN FACT> In 1897 the VFL started with 8 teams, In 1898 seven teams tried to sign an experinced flag winning coach. cause thats the way to success.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
