I'd rather Simpson or Burns over Kirk.

I would rather who ever the hell Roos thinks is going to be our next premiership coach.

I would be happy with that.

    I had a chat with my friend who Is involved with the Lions last night, and while he said he isn't certain he said the whispers going around the club are that Adam Simpson has pipped Neil Craig and got the gig.

    keeping fingers crossed that Sumich gets the Eagles gig and we lock in Scotty Burns.

    If true a massive risk i would have thought sacking voss then going to a first time coach, albeit one with big wraps and a fair bit of time as an assistant

    Adam Simpson and Tudor still on the block.

    Adam Simpson holding out for Dees job or has been given job just waiting till Hawks finish up is my guess.

    Simpson will be our man, have had a strange (good) feeling about it since day 1.

    To me it is down to two Simpson or Kirk, and this will depend on the Brisbane job but the only reason we haven't annouced yet is our prospect is still coaching in the grand final.

    Correction, both prospects are coaching in the GF.

    I heard from a reliable source that Ling, despite his protestations is locked in.

    Oh crap...I heard it on Demonland....as you were......

    Do we have to pay out Craig then?

    I would imagine so, but he will probably come to an agreement with the club over the size of the payout.

  • Quote

    really hope its Adam SImpson

    am not interested in Scott Burns at all

    Caro just announced that Dew who is currently @ the swans was looking likely to be lined up as the senior assistant to Roos, But again Colless, and now John Longmire and Andrew Ireland not happy about it,

    ... apparently MFC going to back off. Interesting choice if it were true, and not something I saw coming!

    Roos mentioned on OTC that Dew applied for the position, but that the Swans won't allow him to be interviewed. Roos didn't make it clear as to who first approached who, but I got the impression that maybe Dew made the move.

    Thats what they were told on Footy Classified, but Caro mentioned that she heard Roos had made contact with him.

    Either way, its an interesting development that he is even being spoken of in the same sentence as Burns, Simpson, Tudor etc...

    Gut feeling that this Senior assistant could be a left field appointment that none of us see coming.

    I thought Roos made the point it was Dew who applied for the role, i may be wrong,

    And that assistants are allowed to apply and accept roles which are of a higher position to their current role while under contract, as stated by the coaches association.

    Have immense respect for Richard Colless and Andrew Ireland for their service to AFL in the rugby states but an in contract assistant coach should be able to move to a senior assistant/senior coach in waiting role in the same way that an in contract assistant can move to a senior coaching role. If it is a promotion then they should be able to move.

    Maybe someone needs to tell Colless that Roos is the Melbourne Coach and his responsibility is to do his best for us.

    Isn't that what I said?

    Well my source clearly has no idea what he's talking about :P

    would much rather Simpson than Dew, I think he'd be a fantastic influence on our midfield.

    No way - id take Dew any day of the week. Smart unit. Emphatic personality. Ideal.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
