Interestingly, despite media reports that Bassett is close to signing with Essendon in the coming days, he still hasn't done that... yet on the SANFL website he is quoted today as saying he'll be sorting out his coaching future probably in the next 2 weeks.

That matches Josh Mahoney's proposed timeline for appointing the successor pretty closely.

Maybe we have a shortlist including Dew and Bassett..?

On another new staff appointment, George Stone is definitely coming from Sydney. The source is the closest to GS possible, and I can't be more specific, so don't ask. Announcement won't be made til af

Looks like it's Paul Roos for the next six to ten years then.

He may not be a great coach but he always quick with a come back or two!

Well all the 'more than qualified' applicants now have jobs. I guess that leaves the rookies....

Hard to believe they turned down Scott Burns.

Could it be the 'applicant' was hand picked? And was due process carried out?

Yes I believe so. I'd be interested to know if good governance and due process was carried out.

We've been bitten before.

So apparently the bombers are going to appoint Bomber as coach and Craig as an assistant.

DOes that mean we will still have to pay out his contract? (or is it solely in his hands?)

Cameron Ling helping the kangaroos next season


"Dilena also confirmed three-time Geelong premiership midfielder Cameron Ling would work with the Roos' leadership group next season one day a week, and hoped the former captain would choose the club if he moved into full-time coaching in 2015" - See more at: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-09/dons-look-to-thompson-craig#sthash.rjwuCAcb.dpuf

I'm not sure if his name has come up in this topic but what are the chances of landing Scott West?

Announced yesterday he was leaving Werribee to look at an AFL gig.

IMO he would have to be a strong candidate for a senior assistant role. He has coached his own team, with some success.

My understanding from what Roos said was that Craigy understood there wouldn't be a role for him at the club if he missed out on the senior coach gig.

Had he left of his own accord prior to the Roos announcement there would be no severance package.

He coached with Bailey, remember?

Moved on by Neeld... can't see a return to Dmonland for West.

WHy would these 2 experienced men want to pander to the EFC and to that drug cheat James Hird when he returns in 12 months

can only assume that they know Hird is never coming back

...no don't think they have, they put some names in a hat, and Roos ran backwards blindfolded and pulled out a name........the past is the past....walk away

So it's ok to grill the past, but not the present? Accountability doesn't stop I'm afraid.

I'm well aware he coached with Bailey.

Just looking at his credentials, if we are casting our net wide for a successor, he should at least be considered.

Considering he was involved during those suspect years, I think it would be wise to not cast the net that far.

That net is too wide.

The coastguard is worried about that net.

I am now tangled in that net.

Hope that net doesn't constrict too far or you'll be in a heap of trouble.

I trust Jackson, Roos and Mahoney to find the right man for the job (What choice do we have?). The field of candidates does seem to be thinning though.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
