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 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.
