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 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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
