That's the gig he deserves.

    Good luck and best wishes to him.

    He did his best.

    He'd have to be one of the first head coaches to not get a job immediately after. I simply cannot believe we failed ruined his stocks, I still maintain we mucked it up at the hire when we just wanted a Malthouse clone.

    It's not his fault he wasn't good enough, and he was obviously trying; but he'd have to be close to the worst senior coach in this century.

    He has indicated to the school board that Carey will be the toughest school to play whether that be football or public speaking.

    So how bad does that make the selection committee?

    You cant really have a go at someone who accepts a challenge in the work force that hind sight tells us was not the right fit/achievable.

    When standing next to Mick Malthouse and telling the MFC representative on the phone that they need to confirm his appointment because he has another offer, I cant really blame him.

    SCHOOL REPORT CARD: Johny Couldabeen

    Dear Parent,

    This year Johny has shown great progess, he laughs a lot more at his own jokes, he is good at kicking people when they are down, I realise now I am dealing with someone who is perfect and never made a mistake in their life, his opinion is the only opinion worth having, history seems to be his favourite subject, although expressing with hindsight runs it a close second

    Good luck to the bloke. It obvioulsy didnt work at the Dees but at the end if the day I recon he had the toughest ride of any coach over the last 20 years and managed to end with some dignity and without spitting the dummy.

    Good bloke rubbish AFL senior coach

    I wont sink the boot into Neeld.

    Was he a failure at the MFC ? yes

    Should we have got a senior coach ? ( in hindsight yes).

    Was he a very well credentialled assistant coach coming out of a very good system. ? yes

    Whilst a few here did want an experienced coach, no one suggested he was a poor choice from the assistants available.

    Good Bloke? All reports were that he was absolute pr1ck.

    His report card on our former CEO was a classic as well, has to be a High School Teacher.

    Isn't David King coach of Carey? How will that work. Also APS schools paying former AFL players/coaches to coach the team is a bit of a [censored]. Just get one of the PE teachers who was a decent local footy and involved in local footy to do it. These AFL guys bring in all their terminology and training methods that should be kept away from kids who should focus on schooling. The elite ones can get footy knowledge from their TAC teams.

    my nephew has a bit to do with him

    says that mn is a top bloke

    has no idea what went wrong at dees

    first thought was that he had lost a below average group of players very quickly,and NEVER righted the ship

    but pr1ck,i dunno

    Dont begrudge the guy life after coaching Melbourne. He didnt hire himself to MFC we are complicit in his appointment and his management - he doesnt get all the blame.

    It says more about our government funding of private schools that they can afford ex AFL coaches - your taxes at work - meanwhile public schools cant get basic building maintenance.

    I reckon your second last line is probably closer to the truth than him being an absolute pr####

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
