The Successor

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..?

    My money is on BBO as Senior Assistant.

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

    Simpson, Burns, Tudor all out of the race. Dew being held back by the existing stable. Bassett is the colt ready to fire. My call is Bassett (unless the bombers steal him)

    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?

    Oh well Roosy will just have to stay on for 6,6,6.

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

    We've been bitten before.

    we have indeed :unsure:

    Im intrigued in that its all gone ridiculously quiet. There's something afoot here.

    Seems it was initially frosty , now it's thawing, perhaps dewy ? :rolleyes:

    Given the Buddy steal the Swans would get zero sympathy if we went hard for Dew...

    ...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 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

    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.

    You look at him. I've got my hands over my eyes !

    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.

    Heard a STRONG rumour that Stuart Dew would have already been announced had their not been contract issue.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
