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

Caroline Wilson reporting Justin Leppitsch will be Brisbane coach

Wow, she rarely gets it wrong. That is a huge gamble from the lions

Caroline Wilson reporting Justin Leppitsch will be Brisbane coach

via Tiger source - sounds true.

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.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
