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?

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

Correct, he and Mooney are both there.

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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
