Your dream coaching quartet

Featured Replies

Let's see who can muster up a gun coaching team consisting of:

  • Head Coach
  • Back line
  • Midfield
  • Foward line

Must be alive and who you think would be good candidates.

I'm going for:

  • Alistair Clarkson - Has runs on the board and creative coach. I think he's squeezed all he can out the hawks and he needs another challenge.
  • Sean Wellman - Say no more... He had our back line sorted and we need him back at the club. With any luck he soon might be out of a job with the Bombers.
  • Cameron Ling - communication skills appear to be great and he's a past skipper of the most dominant team in recent history.
  • Wayne Carey - Love him or loathe him he is arguably the best CHF the game has seen. Would teach our guys to be fearless in the forward line and how to lead properly.

Just heard that Simon Black is retiring at the end of the year and is looking to get in to coaching; we could do worse than look at him as a midfield coach.

 
  • Head Coach - Choco Williams
  • Back line - Jade Rawlings
  • Midfield - James McDonald
  • Forward line - Leigh Brown

Choco speaks for himself, Leigh Brown and Jade Rawlings can stay as forward/back coaches as they dont seem to be doing anything wrong, and both of those lines are under constant pressure thanks to the worst midfield of all time.

Which brings us to the midfield - I would beg Junior to come back to the club, but would he want to?

Head Coach – Roos

Player development – Choco

Midfield – Ling

Backline – Wellman

Forward – Leigh Brown & the Ox

This is best case scenario,

I believe,

Brown/Schwartz could really be an assist to our forward line of Hogan/Dawes/Clark, Carey to come down and help out.

Ling could really help our young midfield and I think they would really go hard for Lin as a premiership player and captain (Loves Viney as well)

Roos – no brainer

Choco – is well known for developing young talent

Backmen – same players as when he was there pretty much excluding Rivers, god we miss Rivers

It hurt to see Brad Green on the coaching bench for Carlton on Monday night. Could we fit him in somewhere perhaps??

Just heard that Simon Black is retiring at the end of the year and is looking to get in to coaching; we could do worse than look at him as a midfield coach.

Just read the article on afl.com where he says he wants to get into coaching.

A champion player and would surely be something for our kids to look up to as a coach somewhere but could we get him as an assistant first? Would love someone with a bit more experience in that role to work with Black.

Maybe I'm a little crazy but I think Voss is cooked at Brissy so I would love him as our midfield coach working with Black?

Schwarz has never said anything that would cause me to conclude he is a footy brain.

I doubt we'd be able to afford both Black and Voss.


Head Coach – Leigh Mathews


Player development – Mark Williams


Midfield – Cameron Ling


Backline – Scarlett


Forward – Carey

Correct, he and Mooney are both there.

He used to play the game alright though. Got to have a good footy brain to do some of the things he managed to do.

Head Coach: Paul Roos (No brainer)

Backline Coach: Jade Rawlings (is contracted for next year and we can't afford to go paying out to many people, if money wasn't a factor I'd slot Leigh Tudor in here.)

Midfield Coach: Leigh Tudor (Should finally be able to sack Royal at the end of this year and bring in one of the most respected assistants in the game. I'd have Tudor in line to take over from Roos at some stage in a hand over as if Roos did come, I wouldn't expext him to want to stay for more then say 5 years. If we sacked Rawlings a year early I'd have Tudor in the backline coachs role and Simon Black in the midfield slot.)

Forward Coach: Peter Sumich (I'm unsure of Brown's contract length if it was 2 or 3 years, but ideally I'd bring in Sumich and just like Tudor have him as a potential replacement for Roos once he stepped aside.)

Player Development: Nathan Basset (Has a great reputation in the SANFL for getting the best out of his players, eg. the move of Terlich from forward to the backline.)

Neil Craig to keep his job and intergrate Mahoney's head of footy. Todd Viney to take Harringtons role as list manager.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
