    Ok, so who out of Stevens and Shehan is the most reliable rumour monger?

    Neither of them.

    Nobody knows but Roos. Everyone else is just guessing.

    I wonder if this sub committee will target people for assistant coaching roles.

    I'm hearing Roos wants a succession plan ala Longmire. If true that would mean at least one new assistant comes in next year. Of course, Roos would probably want to handpick them.

    Has anyone else on this thread mentioned the rumour I heard?

    Roos will coach the Dees, but ONLY if he has Tadgh(?spelling) Kennelly and Cameron Ling as assistants.

    i am pretty sure this is all about Roos' family. If they say no, it's no.

    So whats it to be Tammi ? Lol

    Lets say the money is right, the family says yes, Kennelly is OK but Ling says no. Roos then says no. I don't think so.

    I have a feeling there will be more than 1 new assistant. I am pretty sure all assistants would be out of contract.

    Only Royal is out of contract. The rest have until the end of next year as far as I am aware.

    Micky O is the one I've heard talk about as an assistant.

    ... I'm keen

  • Quote

    I will be confident when he has signed the contract and a media conference is called.

    Then and only then I will believe he will coach us.

    Whose the source JJC?

    Reliable or not?

    "Reliable" rumour?

    FFS

    That would be reliable source M not rumour FFS.

    Tadhg, my brother is married to an Australian without any Irish background, she tells everyone who asks about the spelling sounds like TA-DIG, it's actually Irish for Tim

    You mean the source that told him what he calls a "rumour"?

    I think they are all OOC.

    still nothing to see here and its going to take a while longer, ie. after round 22

    I think they are all OOC.

    Even if they are not, paying out an assistant coach's contract is small potatoes compared to the head coach.

    Same again for a development coach.

    It doesn't matter either way as the AFL will be footing the bill.

    Why did we not sign up all the assistants on three year contracts like the head coach? That seems a little strange.

    Is that Alastair ..Tom Scully a one club player...Lynch.

    Take nothing from Lynch, he has little to nothing between the ears.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
