Coaching contract discussions?

I hate bringing this up, but I was just listening to the pre-match discussions on Fox Footy. They interviewed Swans Assistant, Stuart Dew, and made the observation that he will one day make a very good Senior Coach. They went on to mention that he had missed out on the Carlton gig, but was still in the running for Essendon and Adelaide. Then Healy piped in with the fleeting comment that, depending on contract discussions at Melbourne, he could yet end up a Demon. What the hell was Healy referring to? ......... or did I completely mishear what Healy said? They were definitely talking about the role of senior coach. Someone please put my mind at ease. I need the sleep tonight!

    Heard it aswell..

    Too be honest I think he stuffed up and was meant to mention that he was in the running for the dees job couple of years ago.

    Wouldn't read too much into it.

    Dew was offered role as Roos' assistant and coach in waiting and knocked it back. Healy is confused or unable to explain himself.

    Didn't hear it, but are you sure he wasn't using the past tense? Something like, "Then Healy piped in with the fleeting comment that, depending on contract discussions at Melbourne, he could have end up a Demon."

    I'm sure I got the gist and tense correct LDvC, but as others said, Healy may well have ballsed it up.

    Or did he mean that if Goodwin is ineligible to coach because of the Essedrug affair outcome, then Dew could be a replacement? Or maybe Ive got that completely wrong as well?

    he would have to be charged to be ineligible then wouldn't he?

    Healy is a trator, a moran and barely literate. 'Nuff said.

    Oh my god, you made me spit beer out of my nose! Lol!

    Probably meant to say "He could have ended up a Demon." Was our first choice, but the Swans were unwilling to let him go. Nothing to see here.

    Robert Walls hasn't done us any favours in retaining McCartney after the snow job he did on Worsfold in today's Age.

    Mind you, I think he is right about his evaluation.

    SIMON Goodwin has come third in the AFLCA assistant coach of the year, behind St Kilda duo Adam Kingsley and Danny Sexton.

    Appreciate the link but what does it all mean. Who decides the winner?

    Clarko still can't win coach of the year.

    Did Bruce Reid hand back his lifetime achievement award?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
