He said burns is in the mix also said every club is peeved off about Roos trying to poach there coaches I say good, go nuts roosy

Good stuff thanks for that.

A young but knowledgeable assistant coach with a bit of fire in the belly and under Roos (sounds perfect)

We just need to shake of WCE - we can offer him a couple years under Roos where he can prepare himself to be coach and of course a bucket of cash.

I have spoken to a few people over here(WA) who believe Sumich will get the gig, however there is also some talk about not ruling out Meth Coast making a play for Clarkson, depending on how the Hawks season ends

IMO opinion I think we will end up with either Burns or Simpson as Roos understudy

How dare he!

Honestly, Matthews was working as a development coach and we offered him a promotion to line coach.

No mention of that, but DB mentions that he's getting paid significantly more.

What a [censored].

I called into 'Sports talk' on 720 ABC here in Perth this morning as they had Tadgh Kennelly as a guest and I thought it would be a good opportunity to hear his opinion on Roosy joining the Dee's and also Matthews and Allison's credentials.

Summary was he doesn't think Roos will change the team dramatically enough to see it become successful in the near future. Basically reiterated what Roos said about laying the foundations for the incoming successor etc, Ben Matthews was a good honest footballer and will contribute as will Allison to the coaching efforts.

I then asked what lines they would coach and interestingly, Tadgh said that Mattews would be coaching the Backline but at what level he didn't say.. This throws up the question of what capacity Rawlings will work in next season? Might he be axed? Will he coach another line group or potentially will be in the running for the Successor position?

I had a few other questions to ask but the flogs cut me off because I wasn't talking about the Dockers. Or maybe it was because I was talking about the Dee's...

Ed: obvious other question I didn't have the opportunity to ask was going to be if he himself would be finding his way to the MFC.

Thanks for the insight McQueen

Those are very different positions on Rawlings - my view is if he is good at what he does then find a position for him. We can't start getting rid of staff that have been doing well and then risk dividing the staff like we did with the players under Neeld.

Interesting when others are basing their opposition to us getting a priority pick on us making sudden improvements under Roos like Port.

I heard both Geoge Stone and Stuart Maxfield could be in demon colours as both are based in melbourne and i think Maxfield wants more time with his kids.

Cameron ling...my wife changes channel when he is on....because of his looks, I'm sure he is not the right man for the job.

So when the successor is announced who will be the first poster to go with the Roos_to_Simpson or Roos_to_Burns username that were all the rage on bigfooty for a while. I think Scully_to_Watts might be dead in the water. Aish_to_Hogan might still be a chance . . . .

I hope Adam Simpson will be the next coach after Roos.His learnt under the in-form coach of the last 3 years in Al clarkson. Then will be under Roos for a minimum of two years. Couldn't be happier if announced.

    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.
