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.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
