Are any coaches going to be at their current clubs next year or have supporters on their side



Recommended Posts

If we put all the rumours ,gossip together a lot of coaches will move on or blunder real or perceived pressure from press or their own supporters

Worsfold gone marital issues ,poor season

Lyon gone wife not happy in Perth

Voss not successful to be sacked (maybe safe now)

Hird gone due to drug scandal

Neeld Gonski

G w s sheedy leaving

Scott at north they are bleating due to multiple close losses (I think contract extension signed recently so is likely safe )

Carlton Malthouse not the messiah as expected

Collingwood Buckley missing top4 ,who knows maybe the 8 ,tough draw ahead

You've forgotten Watters, looks like getting an extension but a lot of supporters want him gone, Macca at the dogs is obviously no good. Both these clubs have stella lists so it must be the coach.

If Mick doesn't make the 8 then he's gone and Clarko is finished if he can't win a flag this year. Bucks and Eddie will be on the scrap heap if Collingwood can't find a tagger.

Dimmer looks safe but if anything goes wrong the rumour is Williams is ready to step in. Scott at Geelong can't afford to many more unloseable loses. Adelaide don't trust Vic's, wait a minute Sando is an SA boy...maybe spent to much time in Victoria..move him along. Hinkley, gone.

Roos is taking over at GC, great list good to add another premiership to the legacy by by Guy.

Who does that leave us with?

The Horse, well he did win the last flag but times up if he can't come up with the goodes this year.

Not saying any of the above will go to Melbourne, just talking about how fickle supporters are and the fragility of being an AFL coach.

There is your title and your opening post.

Please don't confuse me on a wednesday morning.

I feel a little stupid for even posting this, but here goes;

A friend of mine was at the pub a week ago and bumped into Peter Matera and David Hart. Being an Eagles fan he asked them casually about Woosha & whether they had spoken to him recently about continuing at West Coast etc. Apparenlty David Hart said he had spoken to him recently and was no chance to coach West Coast next year becasue he will be coaching the Dees (Suggesting that its a recently done deal)?

Lyon - sounds like complete crud he isn't going anywhere

B. Scott - As noted has a contract

Bucks - Eddie wouldn't fire him if they hadn't won a game, reasonable pies supporters know where they are at

Malthouse - Again most reasonable Carlton supporters know he was hard up this season

Sheedy was pre-arranged and he actually got an extra year

Hird - still has the supporters on his side

So really it's Neeld and Worsfold and so far every indication from West Coast has been is they won't push him out. Not too bad in a highly strung competition. Certainly doing better than the NFL or major soccer leagues.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
