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

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!

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.

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:

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
