I will put this out there.....the next coach has already been sewn up - Mark Thomson. He has been treated appallingly by the bombers, will be stabbed in the back when the French Prince returns, is a great coach, he and Roos are great mates, Jackson thinks he is the "ants pants", and he will want revenge - big time!

I proffer the following scenario: 29 mins into the final quarter the bombers lead the dees by 5 points in the 2017 grand final. Watts grabs the ball in the centre bounce, kicks 60 metres for hogan to take a screamer 55 meters out, the siren sounds, and he dobs it half goal,post height (Buckannara like). Hird goes nuts! And refuses to come out of the coaches box.

Thomson has nothing more to prove and gives Hird the "two finger" salute.

Oh what bliss!!!

Roos and Thompson has a coaching duo is enough to make ANY football fan salivate.

Unfortunately, I can't see it happening. IMO this saga has had its toll on Thompson, and I doubt he'll coach again in the near future.

He's damaged goods.

As far as I am concerned the next coach is employed at the hawks at present .

By the end of 2016 he will be available.

End of story for mine.

Not sure that I agree, but I love the imaginative ending. :blink:

Revenge is a big motivator, and I suspect he is going to be treated appallingly. Little and the Essendon board continue to exhibit the insensitivity and boorishness about which they have become so famous.

I suspect Hird will come back, and it will a destroy Essendon...

In this scenario can hird be sent to st helena or can his imperial guard falter before our thin red and blue line?

Is that when Cameron Bruce is out of contract? Or Adem Yze? :lol:

Could not imagine Cameron Bruce as a successful senior coach. Never came across as someone with much fire in the belly. A great runner but would rival Grimes for kicking out on the full.

I don't believe the club has made a decision, I think they are holding out hope of retaining Roosy, having said that I firmly believe Bomber will be an assistant at mfc next year.

Garry Lyon keeps hinting at that. Roos is also good mates with another Lyon whose family might like to return to Victoria in a couple of years.

Garry Lyon can stay the f**k out of any coaching discussions! Sorry Red, had to get that off my chest.

Is this the same coach who snubbed one of his own stalwarts for " disloyalty" ( Ablett jnr ) and while still coaching the Catters was accused of making umpteen calls to a Windy Hill number from his office phone by none other than his own club president .

It seems like we get excited every time Clarkson's contract nears its expiry, only to be disappointed yet again.

I reckon the hawks will be well on the slide in 2016, they might feel it's time for someone else for a re-build and Al might like a new challenge?

I'd struggle with that. He has been around the Dank affair at 2 clubs. He has the stink on him. He also looks lost at times in the coaches box. "Games past him".

Hawks on the slide in 2016? Hilarious! They haven't been on a slide in 30 years. Wish we could slide like them....

Sure, except in 2004 when they were given a priority pick and picked up Franklin and Roughead. So except for then.

Most of Roos former underlings are aiming to coach teams late into September and do what every coach aspires to be involved in, and learn how to do...

Win a flag.

Or

they could come to Melbourne and be second banana in the 7th year of a rebuild that has yielded a handful of wins... this season.

Tough choice.

They'll come if we rise in 2015, be onboard for 2016, and ready to take over in 2017.

    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.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    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
