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

Nicol completes our new coaching team. This now makes us the most coaches in/for any team. We retained our development coaches as well.Go Dees - now up to our list management and recruiting staff to get the cattle to coach.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
