I could say Ron Barassi but I won't.What interests me is that some of the most astute and successful coaches haven't been great players. Clarkson was a thug and a battler, Tom Hafey was a battler, Luke Beveridge ditto. Sheedy was a full time thug, Malthouse was an honest toiler. Timmy Watson, James Hird, Voss, Schimilbusch, Hart, Primus, Buckley, (hey, thanks Eddie, baby,) Knights,Bourke, Bartlett etc were great footballers, lousy coaches...

Then there were the greats like Barassi, Smith, Matthews (THUG), Blight, Alves and a few others who could do both.

The name that rings my bells is Nathan Bassett,a dud at Melbourne, a star in hometown Adelaide.

Paul Roos was a pretty handy player......

What a complete and utter load of rubbish.

Everyone knows we should be bring back Mark Neeld.  In addition, replacing Jason Taylor with Barry Prendergast wouldn't go astray either and what's Tom Gilles doing these days?

I actually think that we buy a new whiteboard to replace the one that was thrown in the skip behind AAMI Park and start a brilliant You Tube series outlining our vision for the club. I like to call it our 'red and blueprint'.

Goody is highly respected by anyone who has anything to do with the Adelaide footy club, i'm sure there will be a few blokes keen to work with him

Chris Connolly, he took the fall unjustly after the stool pigeon Mclean dobbed him in.

Would bring a lot of experience and his fondness for the club remains unquestioned.

You've got to be kidding.

Getting in early and will predict Lenny Hayes joins us as  assistant coach at end of the season.

Ready, aim, fire:

Childhood Dees supporter Chris "I'm Baaack!" Judd (ref FC tonight).

Maybe not Goodwin's chair, but one of the footstools?

Brad Green? Although I don't think he is senior enough or experienced enough to replace Goodwin. Brett Ratten I reckon to take Goodwin's place - hard done by at Carlton, great education at Hawthorn, and knows the Dee's well: would be ideal I would have thought.

Brett Ratten for midfield. 

Adem Yze for kicking.

They don't really have a coach for the midfield these days. It'd be stoppages if you like or ball movement/transition etc. At least, that's how our FD is currently set up. Would snap Ratten up as one of those though. Of course has history at Melbourne too.

I wonder how many assistants will move on after Roos leaves. You usually see a bit of a turnover. Might be influenced by what Roos ends up doing next year after his time out o/s. I noticed on the weekend his younger son was playing for Carltons affiliate against Casey.

What about Woewodin? Currently coaching the Lions NEAFL team and was the Lions midfield coach for a few years after coaching in the WAFL. Even though the lions haven't been high achievers in his time there the midfield has always been their strongest area.

Didn't Neitz join Hawthorn this year? Nice one to get back. Good mentor for Jesse and the Weed.

Generally speaking, there are a huge number of players that played under Balme and Daniher now involved in coaching.

Just waiting for the Wizard's entry into coaching!

Brendan McCartney will be the Senior Assistant this was announced when they announced Simon Goodwin will be coach. Brendan McCartney was going to develop the young players for 2015 & 2016 after that he was going mentor Simon Goodwin.

Please stay away from Green.. Loved him as a player but he got the ass from Carlton when they were a horrid. Goes to North Melbourne as a defence coach and now their biggest problem is their poor defence that leak way too many goals.

Forget about romance and focus on getting the best people possible.

I reckon Brett would hardly know a soul at the club these days. In the 10 (?) years since he was there the place has changed beyond recognition.

I could see McCartney moving into the role and then trying to poach another highly rated coach from another club to fill McCartney's position. I would love us to try to get Ratten back at the club, I really rated his work at Melbourne and even felt he was doing a good job at Carlton under the circumstances. I believe he's still at Hawthorn and I know everyone loves working there given the success, perhaps the carrot of being part of future success at Melbourne could lure him over.

Can we just pay McCartney more and give him a fancier title to continue doing what he's doing? Formula seems to be working. Also, are we at risk of poaching here?

I think that's pretty much exactly what will happen except he'll take on more overseeing of the other coaches and we'll need someone to step into his current role.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    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
