    It was reported two hours beforehand.

    Can't believe I had to explain that.

    So with the announcement of Simpson to West Coast's senior position our known options are:

    Leigh Tudor

    Stuart Dew

    Peter Sumich

    Brett Kirk

    Alan Richardson(?)

    What do we think?

    Throw in Nathan Bassett as well, can't hurt!

    Not that I know any inside info, but I reckon it will be Dew. Roosy would not have gone into this without knowing exactly who his support staff would be. I would not be surprised if this was marked from well out.

    I don't discount the albeit slim possibility that the Swans could still do an about-face and release Dew from his contract.

    Bassett has been interviewed by Essendon and Richmond, according to the HS, for assistant positions.

    Doesn't mention us at all.

    I don't think we'd be aiming for a bloke with no connections to anyone in the footy dept (bar maybe Viney?) who hasn't been an assistant coach at AFL level yet.

    Gutted that Simpsons over here with the eagles.... was my pick for out next coach... What's the go with Tudor? He's left the swans but haven't heard much recently about where he's going next year if its not to us.

    Has to be dew one would think not a great deal of options out there

    All they have to do if they want Dew is to name him and say he will take over at the end of his Swans contract, he will be released from said contract the next day.

    Good call RPFC.

    If they still keep him after we name him (if we do of course) then he should take two folders to each meeting, one with the swans logo and one with the MFC on it :)

    Great call! And surely a guarantee of the head coaching position is better than just being an assistant? Sort of like a full house beating 3 of a kind!

    Or three of a kind beating two pairs even.

    I recon it is going to be Dew and have absolutley no doubt that if Dew is the prefered option for Roos then PJ will make it happen and ther is nothiing Sydney will be able to do about it. He is loke a dog with a bone once he makes a decision.

    I think you are right, Dew is our man.

    IMO they're biding their time and not discussing Dew with the Swans any further, especially during trade period as it may somehow affect our trades, possibly even trades with other clubs (3 way trades etc).

    Then after it's finished....BANG!

    Could be onto something.

    I thought it was odd when Josh Mahoney indicated we didn't expect to announce the successor until around the end of the trade period.

    They might be prepared to wait for Dew which will be good for us. We sign Dew for 2015, then Roos coaches his third year in 2016 before the handover, we get 3 years out of Roos.

    I am hoping Roos will be the face of the club for some years yet. Even if he isn't coach.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
