News today that Brett Lovett and Sandringham have parted ways.

Lovett has a good reputation as a coach at VFL level and it will be interesting to see if we snap him up if Brad Gotch isn't reappointed at Casey.

(yes, I'm aware he's Garry Lyon's brother in law).

Looks like we had our eye on Dale Tapping from Sandringham Dragons as our final development coach, but Collingwood beat us to the punch.

Lovett would be a good acquisition.

Lovett has made it clear that he is only interested in part time coaching

Hence he said he would not (re)apply for the Sandy job which now must be a full-time position (as dictatated by StKFC)

Maybe Football Director then?

Garry has to get someone if he doesn't want to keep doing it...

Ill ask it as someone will. Could he do it ? or would the rabble cry another job for the boys ?

I now only want the best man for each job. he might be it.. who knows..thats the question.

Why would Lovett having knocked back a full time job at Sandy then take one up at Melbourne ?

'One of the boys' has to do that job.

The Football Director is the board member with an ear to everyone who knows all the dirty laundry.

It is most definitely a 'job for the boys.'

This guy sounds pretty good,

I think we can say what the Neeld assistant mould is.... young, experienced with juniors/TAC cup good communicator ect and more than anything probably people who will rely on him and his word/strategy

Hang on ... breaking News.

GWS resorts manager Gubby Allen has filed a complaint with the AFL:

"We had hoped the AFL would grant us appropriate concessions to draft coaches under the age of 50. At a minimum we expected a mini draft in which we could get more younger minds into our panel including youngster Micky M. Our plan was to build a resort at Palm Beach for our coaches so they can really get the vibe of Western Sydney much in the same way as our players are gettting its vibe at our beach resort in Cronulla.

Sadly if we are not granted further coaching funds and concessions we will have to stick with our aged coach policy and our coaching panel will have to continue staying at its Rooty Hill facility."

Gubby also responded to his critics who told him GWS's preferred high performance coach, Cliffy Young, was actually dead:

"Well lets wait and see about that, I have spoken to Andrew who has assured me its within the rules and we can have him. If not, we will look at Tom Hafey."

Yes we may need to have our quarter and three quarter time huddles at the Richmond ground

and then jog back

I read that Misson's right hand man came across from St Kilda also.

Can't remember his name.

Is he on that list?

I don't believe that Misson's assistant ended up coming.However I note it was reported both were coming. In answering your question - not on the list .

Also not stated on the list is our Ruck coach of the last two years- David Loath.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
