Caroline Wilson - not a fan of the succession plan

Exactly right Stuie. It's manufactured codswallop, their 'rivalry'. You'll notice Caro doesn't have major fights with anyone actually in football. All her 'enemies' are media people. Hutchy, Brayshaw... people for whom being embroiled in a shitfight is just as beneficial as it is for Caro.

Isn't Brayshaw the NMFC President?

    I wish those two would shut up and give Lloyd a go - he actually makes sense.

    You seriously didn't say that did you....

    Lloyd is the biggest [censored] ever, has no idea about the game, i only watch footy classified for a laugh, everyone on the show is a toss, bar Gaz

    We've gone for the "untried coach" several times before and it it hasn't worked so I believe we should go for an experienced, winning coach, or at least a very close second to winning coach.

    We have no idea how well Bret Kirk would handle the job, or for that matter Simon Black, so I hope we don't go that route. I wouldn't mind either as an assistant coach but as head coach, no.

    The idea of Bomba Thompson interests me, if he was available and if he was looking around.

    Wilson et all are the reason attendances are falling. Coverage of footy is IMO almost entirely centered on issues beyond the sides competing. As a consequence we now relish the sensationalism over the game itself.

    When Matthew lloyd starts to sound smart you have to doubt the intelligence of those surrounding him

    Fully agree. Lloyd is an absolute tool..I have no interest in him whatsoever..usually he just sits with a dopey look on his face and says SFA..

    Cannot run a decent convo.

    If Carowhine wasnt a dramatic negative person she may have been a decent writer...but alas...she is far from it also.

    Hutchy loves to shoot her down and thats the show in a nutshell...they know people want to see her get pulverised by Hutchy every week.

    Without being biased it seems Garry Lyon knows what to discuss & how to discuss rationally at least.

    I wouldn't have thought so. I'd argue that attendances have fallen because of the introduction of two new teams each without a supporter base and the appalling, virtually unwatchable quality of football played by the oldest team in the competition.

    For anyone who's interested here's the data so you can make up your own minds.

    Has it occured to any others that the assistant and future coach might already be there?

    For one, Roos has shown a fair degree of respect to one Jade Rawlings.

    Oh please no Caro we need your support oh so very much :'(

    Does anyone actually think Roos could have a serious change of heart and continue on for a couple of years? One thing he promised from the board was to be silent and not get involved with footy stuff. To me that says he struggled with that at Sydney especially with Richard Colless as president as its quite obvious now that they never really saw eye to eye. You don't hear much from Glen Bartlett but from what I hear he is an absolute professional and is one of the main key points Roos joined the Dees. Along with PJ a happy working environment for Roosy might make his coaching a lot easier plus hopefully massive on field improvement.

    Clarkson was an untried coach until he went to Hawthorn and won a premiership.

    Ditto Longmire.

    And but for a couple of unlucky bounces ditto Lyon.

    You cannot rule out 'untried' coaches simply because we picked a couple of nqrs, or in Mark Neeld's case badly briefed a wrong 'un.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
