    Maybe give him the role of Director of Development. Allison is currently 'Head of Development', similar to a 'Head Coach', why can't we have a 'Director of Development' like 'Director of Coaching'?

    Sure it might be going a little over the top, but to keep Paul Roos involved in the football department after he relinquishes the coaching position, i would deem it perfectly justifiable.

    You still have said how many games you have watched McCartin play.

    You can have a go at McCartin but I can't have a go at McCartney pot\kettle I say.

    Have a go if you use sensible facts and not half baked assertions. According to you McCartney was employed at Richmond Football Club - wrong. According to you, he failed in his tasks at the Essendon Football Club - he was only there for one season (2011) before he was offered the head coach position at the Doggies; so, have to give that assertion a fail as well. And almost without exception, all of the media pundits are of the opinion that he was very successful at both the Dogs and the Cats and there was genuine disbelief over the fact he had been moved on. So basically, on all counts you have failed.

    I'll be laughing at the haters that doubt me not the club.

    You don't have a brother in St. Kilda who apparently owns a roofing company (or whatever Tonatopia claimed to own)?

    Another one that doesn't do his research. The Richmond thing has already done.

    No one in their right mind would say he was successful at the Bulldogs because it's just not true.

    I will take into account that you are a Sydney theatre goer.

    It does throw in to light what Roos will be doing following his handover to Goodwin. Roos himself has said that he's already had talks with the club about a position that would see him remain at the club in some capacity.

    I guess we have two years of not really having to worry about it and by then it probably won't matter too much anyway if the process of succession Roos and Jackson have put in place actually works.

    I owe Kurt a beer. Well done

    You are a 'hater'...

    And I trust Paul Roos' judgement more than yours.

    Sue me.

    Well done kurt!

    Put his balls on the line and cut straight to the chase. None of this pathetic riddles [censored] or anything like that.

    I also believe this is the second rumour you have got right before Kurt??

    Again congrats. You have definitely won alot of admirers and respect here already on Deeland.

    Ok, I stand corrected on the Richmond gig (but being a decade and a half ago, that is a very long bow indeed). Oh, and 20 wins over his first three seasons as a head coach is hardly a fail.

    As for the Sydney theatre comment... not quite sure what that is supposed to mean. Being an ex Melbourne person who was born in Ringwood, grew up in Croydon and later lived in St Kilda, South Caulfied and Glen Iris and spent a lot of time in Altona (due to being in a band based there), I am hardly the regular theatre going type (although I do occasionally attend as it can be a good night out - unless you have a poor self image of course) - besides which, I believe Melbourne is far more renowned for its high quality theatrical venues,

    Anyway, best you develop a taste for humble pie, as I'm sure you are going to be eating a lot of it in years to come.

    Thanks BB... but as I said in my response to Where-a-Dee, it is drawing a long bow to raise an assistant development coach position at a club one and a half decades ago.

    Thanks Dazzle, just one rumour from me i think. Now will try for info on picks 2 and 3, aim high and fail is better than doing nothing!

    Will more than likely fail though and you'll may never here any news again from me. But if I ever say trust me, then I've got something or I just want to get banned for the hell of it ;)

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
